Capabilities

But maybe I am doing something wrong… Does it work for anybody else?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I regret to say this is not currently on the roadmap. But this seems interesting and we will discuss it.

In case someone is looking for a way to map custom capabilities to Download Monitor’s custom post type, here is how I did it:

/**
 * Filter the cpt arguments to add capabilitie_type, capabilities and apply the map_meta_cap filter
 */
add_filter( 'dlm_cpt_dlm_download_args', 'edit_dlm_download_capabilities' );
function edit_dlm_download_capabilities( $args ) {
	$args['capability_type'] = 'download';
	$args['capabilities'] = array(
		'edit_post'           => 'edit_download',
		'read_post'           => 'read_download',
		'delete_post'         => 'delete_download',
		'edit_posts'          => 'edit_downloads',
		'edit_others_posts'   => 'edit_others_downloads',
		'delete_posts'         => 'delete_downloads',
		'delete_others_posts'   => 'delete_others_downloads',
		'publish_posts'       => 'publish_downloads',
		'read_private_posts'  => 'read_private_downloads'
	);
	$args['map_meta_cap'] = true;
	return $args;
}

Then you can use the map_meta_cap filter to apply your custom capabilities:

/**
 * Map les capacités aux ressources
 */
add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'map_dlm_downloads_capabilities', 10, 4 );
function map_dlm_downloads_capabilities( $caps, $cap, $user_id, $args ) {

	if ( 'edit_download' == $cap || 'delete_download' == $cap || 'read_download' == $cap ) {
		$post = get_post( $args[0] );
		$post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type );

		$caps = array();
	}

	if ( 'edit_download' == $cap ) {
		if ( $user_id == $post->post_author )
			$caps[] = $post_type->cap->edit_posts;
		else
			$caps[] = $post_type->cap->edit_others_posts;
	}

	elseif ( 'delete_download' == $cap ) {
		if ( $user_id == $post->post_author )
			$caps[] = $post_type->cap->delete_posts;
		else
			$caps[] = $post_type->cap->delete_others_posts;
	}

	elseif ( 'read_download' == $cap ) {

		if ( 'private' != $post->post_status )
			$caps[] = 'read';
		elseif ( $user_id == $post->post_author )
			$caps[] = 'read';
		else
			$caps[] = $post_type->cap->read_private_posts;
	}

	return $caps;
}

Then you can use any wordpress plugin that allows you to assign user capabilities like User Role Editor or Members.

I think it’s important to note that you still have to modify the check for the capabilities by replacing manage_downloads by edit_downloads everywhere it is used in the plugin if you still want to be able to use all the plugin functions.

Hope this get implemented soon now as I don’t like to edit the plugin’s files…
