Display only users own posts in admin area?
I would like to set up the back end admin area of textpattern to display only each users own articles. I am putting together a site that will have many users that don’t need to see what others are posting or the rest of the site’s content articles— and I would like to have each person see only the articles that they are in charge of.
I have searched the forums and FAQ and couldn’t find anything… although I could have sworn that I ran across this a few years back (when I wasn’t looking for it.)
Can someone point me to instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.

Put a copy of textpattern/include/txp_list.php in a plugin and hook that into the callback event that occurs before the normal txp_list.php is included. That way you can override the normal txp_list.php functionality.

ruud that sounds like it would open up for a lot of crazy things i’ve always wished for! i’ve requested such a plugin before… care to elaborate a bit further on how something like this would be done? or maybe take a shot at building it and put it up for ransom…? :)

ruud’s is the more elegant solution.
There is a hack modification to the core which adds author-only restrictions for images and files and makes sure that next/prev in the write tab also only work for the author’s own articles etc.

The plugin that variaas mentioned sounds great and is exactly what I am looking for. Variaas – are you using this or is anyone else out there using it that could comment on how well it works? I just want to be sure that it is stable- the post containing the plugin sounded a little unsure of it.
Thanks for the quick reply. If your solution works well it will be exactly what I need!
