Plugin updated to work with Txp v. 4.2.0 (see first post for download).

Changes v0.3

• This version works only with Txp 4.2.0. – for previous versions use v. 0.2.
• More privileges are added following the changes in admin_config.php
• I’ve removed the sloppy “can see all articles” feature added by me in v. 0.2. If you need such functionality use this plugin by Variaas instead

I have an error message in the article listing tab:
Notice: Undefined variable: article_list_pageby in C:\AppServ\www\textpattern\lib\txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()‘d code on line 317

It probably suffices to enter the “Articles” tab and change the “View [XX] per page” dropdown to any value once.

Why do you did that? That was important setting in my situation.

Gerish, That “feature” was wrongly designed because it didn’t take into account pagination.
Let’s make an example.
1) set the “View [XX] per page” dropdown to, say, 100
2) suppose the total number of articles is 150
2) suppose you wrote 50 articles.

In this situation you’ll see a different number of articles depending in the sort criteria used in that page.
So, for example, if articles are ordered cronologically, you could see only 30 articles in the first page and 20 on the second page but if they are ordered alphabetically you could then see 5 articles in the first page and 45 on the second page… The plugin works ok only if total articles are less than 100.

I hope this was clear enough.

It seems you managed to make asv_auth_articles work. I reccommend you use it, but if you really, really need my old feature I can post here a modified (and terribly awful) version of my plugin which adds new 4.2.0 previleges still mantaining the old code.

Is it possible to include an option to hide the individual bot_privs tab from some users? At the moment you can hide the entire extensions tab, but sometimes this is a bit too drastic.
I edited the add privs line in the plugin (add_privs('bot_privs_tab', '1');), but it would be nice if the plugin did this through the interface.

Yes, it is possible but I don’t think I’ll do it as I’ve decided this plugin will only deal with permissions hardcoded in admin_config.php.
That said, you can very easily customize the plugin by yourself adding just one line and reinstalling it.

I’ll show you how soon but before I must correct a bug I discovered just while I was examinating your request (@##!!)

Also: A feature request: Can one change/rename/add/delete user groups through the plugin?

I’ll think about it but, again, you can easily achieve this using the great plugin wet_babble

Is it possible to add in plugin options for categories?
For example:
User can create new image (or article) category – Yes/No
User can edit only his categories – Yes/No
User can delete categories – Yes/No
…
and other options.
