User Permissions for "Additional Services"

Vote 0 Votes

I want to be able to give User Permissions in Mt 4.25 so that ONLY select users Twitter posts show on the index (home) page.

So, if you look at any 'members' profile you can see the additional services that they have chose. But as ADMIN I only want certain users to have the right to have every one of their tweets show on the home page.

Am I making sense? I've read somewhere that i can 'hard code' which authors show - but wouldn't be easier to do via permissions?

thoughts / ideas?

  • I agree, having a permissions checkbox would be easiest--but this isn't something for which permissions exist. So, to do it with permissions you'd need to write a plugin with that ability.

    If you'd like to just use a checkbox to show certain authors, how about adding an author-type checkbox custom field, then have your home page display only those authors' tweets with the checkbox checked.

  • hmmm. sounds as simple as writing a new plugin - and since I have no experience at writing plugins - I'll try a custom field. that might just do the trick.

    thanks for all you do Dan - I still think BFU (Better File Uploader in case someone new reads) is one of the best plugins... ever

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
