[Plugin: Picasa Express x2] only admins get to see it

I’ve got this problem too – anyone have a solution?

it seems to be the plugin not supporting multisite properly, i.e. it doesn’t integrate itself in newly created blogs. strangely it works for me in the first “sub-blog” i created, but not in any other – can u confirm this as well?
didn’t have time so far to find out how/where to report bugs for this, as it doesn’t seem as if this place is one that the author(s) monitor(s).. ??

Hi,

You can find in the FAQ that bug reporting works on my site https://wott.info/picasa-express/

Wott first of all, thanks for a GREAT plug-in! And I can see why one would like to run support on ones own site but then at least make it searchable or have a forum!

I’m not using MU but managed to fix it on a single install, if you look at the code in picasa-express-2.php line 233 we have this line:

if (!current_user_can('picasa_dialog')) return;

This means that if the user don’t have the privilege picasa_dialog then the icon will not show up. If you use for example “User Role Editor” then you can give a role that privilege and it should work.

thanks for investigating on this, still didn’t find time to do so..

didn’t think of a user-permission-issue at first, but indeed it might be it..

markusk, I am still waiting bug reports in by blog and will support only by comments in the version announce post.

for the roles – change or add ‘&updated=true’ to the setting page url.
eg for my blog:
https://wott.info/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=picasa-express-2&updated=true

the problem that WP change updating flag in the URL from ‘updated’ to ‘settings-updated’ without personal notice to me. This problem will be fixed in the next ‘WP 3.3 fixed’ release.

It’s really last time when I do support outside of my blog. If anyone can’t fulfill small requirements I think that person doesn’t need support nor respect.

no need to be snippy wott, as mentioned above – i didn’t have time to investigate the issue further, and i don’t see much sense in providing an incomplete bug report..

back then i gave all users of the affected site admin-rights to work around the issue, and actually didn’t ask for any support. whenever i get to work on this again (it’s that kind of non-profit/community-thingy) i’ll sure report the way you wish.
