    Hello Nik,

    Can I add editors to manage the news plug-in?

    I tried and can change from administrator to editor by changing this line:

    function scrollnews_plugin_menu(){

        add_menu_page(__('Scroll news'), __("Beheer Rollend Nieuws"),'editor', 'Scrollnews-settings','managenews');

      }

    But I want them both to be able to manage the plug-in, now admins can’t change the plug-in.

    Any possibilities?

    Thanks in advance,

    Anno

    Hello Try given bellow code.You have to to conditional code for role.

    function scrollnews_plugin_menu(){

          $userRoles=vertical_news_scroll_get_user_role();

         if($userRoles=='administrator'){

                add_menu_page(__('Scroll news'), __("Manage Scrolling News"), 'administrator', 'Scrollnews-settings','managenews');
         }
         elseif($userRoles=='editor'){

             add_menu_page(__('Scroll news'), __("Manage Scrolling News"), 'editor', 'Scrollnews-settings','managenews');

         }   

      }

      function vertical_news_scroll_get_user_role($id=null){
            global $current_user;
            if(!$id) $id = $current_user->ID;
                if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
                   $user = new WP_User( $id );
                if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
                 foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
                 return $role;
                }
            }
        }

    Hello Nik,

    Your supposed extra code works for me now, Thanks! I just translated “Manage scrolling News” into Dutch, see my first posting.

    I suppose I can add other role line in the “if”-“elseif” loop to extend the user that can edit the plugin.

    Thanks, I’ll go and rate your pluin now!
