Textpattern Support Forum

hi, pleased to see you have taken the development of this plugin forward. I might start using this version myself!

This is great. Have you thought of combining the functionality of ied_hide_in_admin with this plugin. I haven’t tried running them both together yet but have a feeling they would not be happy together. The bonus of ied is that you can toggle whether advanced options is expanded by default, whether they can see the override form, use textile, article image, etc. But it doesn’t have the ability to change the access to overall sections such as presentation like yours does.

Would be great to see one plugin do it all.

Great work again though. Very useful.

Version 0.2 is out (updated first post).
A new privilege was added: ‘Can see all articles’. If unchecked a user can see only own articles, either in the “articles” tab as in the recent articles in the “write” tab.
This feature requires jquery (which is shipped with txp from version 4.05) though the plugin should work with earlier versions too, provided you don’t uncheck the “show all articles” field.
As this feature is based on jquery and it’s aimed primarly at improving usability it’s use is not encouraged if you want to maintain a total privacy on other authors’ articles because a simple ‘disable javascript’ will show them all…
Anyway if you combine this feature with “Can edit published articles” set to “no” in the worst scenario a particularly smart user can see other’s articles but can in no way edit them.

Is there a plugin that allows you to add new user levels to the existing ones and edit those privileges as well? I would like to use it with ign_password_protect to show/hide pieces of content (i.e. downloads) according to member level.

Unfortunately no, I don’t think. I was about to (try to) add this feature but then I gave up due to the lack of free time and to the fact that actually I will never need more than six different user levels.

Thank you for noticing Gerich.
I’ll update the plugin as soon as I have some free time
