Topic: Rights to Downloads Management

[GaMerZ]

Beta Test is not a role in WordPress so I have no idea what name is it called.

If you found out this replace the get_role('author') with get_role('name')

Yes, it is a role I've added with Role Manager where users can register with Reg Level.

I've went in and modified/added the code such as

Code: [Select]

<option value="3"><?php _e('Beta Tester Only', 'wp-downloadmanager'); ?></option> in download-add.php

Code: [Select]

<option value="3" <?php selected('3', $file->file_permission); ?>><?php _e('Beta Tester Only', 'wp-downloadmanager'); ?></option> in download-manager.php

as well as the following in wp-downloadmanager.php

Code: [Select]

$role = get_role('beta-tester');
if(!$role->has_cap('manage_downloads')) {
$role->add_cap('manage_downloads');
}
I came up with 3 just randomly, I'm not sure how I can hard code it. (Can't find the function).

Please help. Thanks!

I think you are confused. The code:

Code: [Select]

$role = get_role('beta-tester');
   if(!$role->has_cap('manage_downloads')) {
      $role->add_cap('manage_downloads');
   } has nothing to do with the file download permission, that code allows the user with role beta-tester to access the wp-admin of downloadmanager.

Your first 2 codes looks ok to me. But having said that, it might or might not work, you have to test it. I don't really provide support for modification of my plugins unless it is a paid job.

I figured it out.
RegLevel let's you choose the level for each of the roles that you created.
The -1, 0, 1, 10 in your code is the various level for each of the roles.
So I set the Beta Test as level 3 and then implement the code I've entered here. It's sweet...

[GaMerZ]

Yeap and you added 3 to it, that is why I say it might work because the checking of user level is dynamically so no changes have to be made there.

That code is rights to download the file not access WP-Admin of WP-DownloadManager.

In wp-downloadmanager.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

// Set 'manage_downloads' Capabilities To Administrator
$role = get_role('administrator');
if(!$role->has_cap('manage_downloads')) {
$role->add_cap('manage_downloads');
}

Add below it:

Code: [Select]

// Set 'manage_downloads' Capabilities To Author
$role = get_role('author');
if(!$role->has_cap('manage_downloads')) {
$role->add_cap('manage_downloads');
}

Deactivate and activate the plugin again.

Hi, would there be a variation of this code that would allow Authors to be able to add a file only and not have access to the rest of the options? I tried the role manager as well but it also gave permissions for all the options lol

This is a feature I am willing to pay for if necessary and if you have time to do it

But if you can edit file means you can edit file as well. For add is not a problem. but for edit, the cap will be global. Unless your author wants to add file but can't edit it.

[LissaE]

I'm not sure I understand lol

I want authors to be able to add files only, I can always edit them if need be but it would be handy for me if they could add the files themselves when they want to post it

When they have global permission they can see all options in the drop down....I don't want anyone to be able to mess with another's files

[GaMerZ]

I charge USD$50 per hour for it, I can do it next week. On my estimate, I will take about 2 to 3 hours to do it.

1. I will add a new cap called "add_downloads" to roles "author", "administrator"
2. I will remove the cap called "manage_downloads to role "author"
3. In downloads-add.php (The page for user to add downloads), I will replace the cap to "add_downloads"
