Custom User Role and CPT

You can add filters to override the permissions. See revisionize.php

https://github.com/jamiechong/revisionize/blob/master/revisionize.php#L423-L429

Also see line Line 451.

The filters are:

revisionize_user_can_revisionize
revisionize_user_can_publish_revision
revisionize_is_create_enabled

Hi Jamie,

Can you explain how to get it this to work? I tried adding
current_user_can('edit_locations')
to the filter. That doesnt seem to work though.

Did you do something similar for all three filters? You will need to add logic to handle your locations capabilities. Post the full code of the filters you added so I can see what you did.

i just copied out the the user_can_revisionize() function from your gist, and added to it.

function user_can_revisionize() {
  return apply_filters('revisionize_user_can_revisionize', current_user_can('edit_posts') || current_user_can('edit_pages') || current_user_can('edit_locations'));
}

Sorry, that won’t work. I assumed you were a developer and knew how to add wordpress filters correctly.

At this stage I can’t offer more assistance than this.

I do understand how filters work, but what logic would I need to write and hook to that filter to make it the submit for review button to show up instead of the update button.

like I said if I give my custom role the edit_pages capability it works perfectly, but not on my CPT.

This is what I need for CPT

Also I failed to mention I did purchase the Contributor Can addon for this reason.

Regardless, the code you provided is dead wrong. That is not how to add a filter.

However it still won’t work for your custom defined capabilities.

Yes I understand its wrong and I did buy that addon because it says it works with CPT but it doesnt seem like it does work with CPT the same way it does for Pages.

The problem shouldn’t be with the CPT – it sounds like you create custom capabilities? If so, this is likely the problem.

Its not a custom capability, it is the default capabilities for a CPT. If I set it to edit_locations (location being the slug of the custom post type) I can view but cant edit, if add the edit_published_locations I can edit, but I can not submit for review.

However with Pages, if I give this role edit_pages, I can edit all pages (even published) and submit for review. It should work this way correct?

I will try to reproduce this on my dev system. How did you create your CPT? with code? Or with some other plugin? Please provide details.

Code.

// Locations

	$labels = array(

	);
	register_post_type( 'location', $args );

}
add_action( 'init', 'location_cpt', 0 );

I am using User Role Editor Pro plugin to control capabilities to my roles though.

Show me the caps set for location.

Without any caps overwritten by URE, everything is working fine on my end for a contributor making a revision and submitting it for review…
