How to add Editor role to “Admin only edit function”

hi @alexzaragoza21,

I’m sorry for the late reply and also to tell you that’s not possible out of the box.

I asked to the developers if a plugin like the user role editor could help with this. We will let you know asap.

Thanks for your patience ??

I really appreciate your help. Please let me know if this is possible. Hope there is a way.

My client wants to delegate tasks to his editor and he doesn’t want to just give an admin account.

More power to your team! Thank you so much. ??

Hi Alex,

with the current version, it is not possible.

That said, we added a hook that will be available from the next update. A code snippet will make it possible to enable other roles to edit those fields.

This would be an example of the code needed for fields “for_staff” & “covid_note” for the editor role:

/**
 * Extend "Admin Only" field edit to user with Editor role.
 */
function gd_snippet_add_listing_custom_field_is_hidden( $is_hidden, $field, $package_id, $default ) {
	if ( $is_hidden && ! empty( $field['for_admin_use'] ) && is_user_logged_in() && ( $roles = (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles ) ) {
		if ( in_array( 'editor', $roles ) && in_array( $field['name'], array( 'for_staff', 'covid_note' ) ) ) {
			$is_hidden = false;
		}
	}
	return $is_hidden;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_add_listing_custom_field_is_hidden', 'gd_snippet_add_listing_custom_field_is_hidden', 11, 4 );

If you wish, you can test this by downloading the development version of the plugin from Github.

Let us know how it goes.
