Access rights for bulk edit

Hi Ben,

This plugin only handles posts. User group rights are a whole other ball of wax and not something that I intend to target with this plugin. Sorry ’bout that.

Hi,

I think, you′ve missunderstood me. How can I control, which user role can access the bulk editor? Can I add author etc.? Can you please send me a code for this?

Ben

Hi Ben, I get it now. Yes, there is a filter for the capability that you want to allow. You’ll set one for each CPT that you want to customize and it would work like this:

apply_filters("cfbe_menu_display_post", "my_cfbe_perm_setting");
apply_filters("cfbe_menu_display_page", "my_cfbe_perm_setting");
apply_filters("cfbe_menu_display_MYCPT", "my_cfbe_perm_setting");
function my_cfbe_perm_setting($str) {
	return "edit_posts";
}

By default it uses manage_options which is an admin-only thing. But you could set it to edit_posts which I think is a author-level setting. Or maybe upload_files.

Hi,

thanks for your code, but it doesn′t work. I′ve inserted it at my functions.php of my child theme, but nothing happens or have I missed anything?

Regards,

Can you post the code you posted to your functions.php file?

I′ve inserted the lines you posted above.

Regards,

Well as I mentioned, you may want to do upload_files instead. Also, the MYCPT line is for any custom posts you have. You’d replace MYCPT with the slug for your custom post type.
