[Plugin: WooTumblog] Works on Admin Dashboard ONLY

    Hi everyone,

    Have WP 3.1 with stable environment. Came across WooTumblog and really liked the idea so I installed it.

    From the Admin Dashboard, this plugin works great. Have the Dashboard Widget with the post types, click one, add content, post, and DONE.

    However, my site has users at the Contributor level as well, who login and post to the site. When I login as a Contributor, the Widget title is on the Dashboard, but not the Widget CONTENT (meaning the buttons for each post type).

    Anyone come across this? Is there something specific needed to allow other access levels to have this?

    Please advise…

    Thanks,
    Terrence

    Hi Terrence

    Currently the plugin dashboard will show for those who have permission to publish posts. What you can do if you would like to change this is the following:

    Find line 772 in /functions/wootumblog_dashboard_functions.php which reads:
    if (current_user_can('publish_posts')) {

    Change this to:
    if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {

    That’s the minimum level for contributors.

    While I’m not sure why Contributors wouldn’t qualify for publish_posts since the Add New Post link is available on the sidebar menu and they can publish new posts… the widget options do appear on the Dashboard.

    Now, for a surprise part two that I was not expecting… The Article button only gives options for a Title and tags. Why is there not a box for actual post text??

    Just for clarification — I should add that the text box for the post content DOES appear on the Dashboard of Admin, just not Contributor.

    Forgot this line as well – 1358:
    <?php if ( current_user_can( 'upload_files' ) ) : ?>

    Need to mod that one as well.
