    Hi,

    Great plugin, works fine, just a couple of questions:

    I’m setting up front-end editing for a school, each classroom would need to be able to edit their own classroom posts only, not the posts of other classrooms, is there a hook that would allow for this, or alternatively a compatible roles/capabilities plugin that would work?

    Secondly, on uploading a file, the language on the buttons is in German, I think???), is it possible for these to be in English.

    Both questions will be solved in next version, we are working on a major new release that will be available in the first week of April.

    For the first question, what you need is most likely the ‘author’ permission in WordPress, it means you can edit only the posts that you created yourself. But the current version of DirectEdit does not yet support that role.

    There might be a solution with an advanced role manager plugin. Basically, if you add the role ‘editor’ to a certain page for a certain group, it should work. But I am not aware of any such plugin, so you have to look for it yourself. Please let me know if it works.

    The language is the backend is Dutch, which is quite similar to German indeed. The only temporal solution is to edit the javascript code yourself.

    Thanks for your speedy response, much appreciated, I think the second solution you mentioned may work so I’ll give that a go.

    Hi,

    No, unfortunately I wasn’t able to set the roles/permissions as I needed them to be, and ended up using another, front-end editor which included submission forms and permissions. I am, however keeping my eye on the development of this plugin for future use. Thanks for your help.
