user roles

By the way, I did some more digging, it looks like a simple change to this line:

if(!isset($_POST['mdocs-contributors']))  $_POST['mdocs-contributors'] = array();

in mdocs-upload.php to include set role types in the array (instead of leaving it empty) should work (and something similar in the mdocs-batch-upload file). I manually just entered my two role types in the upload.php file and it’s now working for me :). I look forward to a permanent fix!

And, going off of the above, now that I’m thinking about it…is there a way currently for me to write a script that will just iterate through ALL the files so I can change the contributors array if it’s empty? I see a lot of things like below where it’s all being set, but I’m not sure how to view the settings of ALL files

array_push($mdocs, array(
				'id'=>(string)$upload['attachment_id'],
				'parent'=>(string)$upload['parent_id'],
				'filename'=>$upload['filename'],
				'name'=>$_POST['mdocs']['name'][$index],
				'desc'=>'',
				'type'=>$mdocs_fle_type,
				'cat'=>$_POST['mdocs']['cat'][$index],
				'owner'=>$current_user->user_login,
				'contributors'=>array(),
				'size'=>(string)$file['size'],
				'modified'=>(string)time()+MDOCS_TIME_OFFSET,
				'version'=>(string)$_POST['mdocs']['version'][$index],
				'show_social'=>(string)'on',
				'non_members'=> (string)'on',
				'file_status'=>(string)'public',
				'post_status'=> (string)'publish',
				'post_status_sys'=> (string)'publish',
				'doc_preview'=>(string)'',
				'downloads'=>(string)0,
				'archived'=>array(),
				'ratings'=>array(),
				'rating'=>0,
				'box-view-id' => $boxview_file['id'],
			));

Yes that looks like it could work.

To run a script here is a idea:

$mdocs = get_option('mdocs-list');
foreach($mdocs as $index => $the_mdoc) {
	array_push($mdocs[$index]['contributors'] , <the role type>);
}
mdocs_save_list($mdocs);

this is just a quick idea, please test this before running this.

Got it, thanks!
