Shortcodes toolbar

Hallo,

I would like to know if it is possible to display the shortcodes toolbar to Authors role.
Right now it is enabled only to Editors role and above.

Thank you

Hi there,

You can see the check in your includes/shortcodes.php :

if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') && current_user_can('edit_pages') )

You can change the checks to anything you please.

Interesting.
My goal is to give Authors the ability to use the formatting tools even if they can’t edit pages, just articles.
I enabled the shortcodes to everyone setting to:
if ( current_user_can('edit_posts'))

What if I want to create a subset of buttons just for Authors?

I understand how to build a new array of buttons but not how to implement it to Authors and hide to Editors (that will see the full version).

Hi again,

You could try this:

if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') && !current_user_can('edit_pages') )

this would the the subset of people that can edit posts and cannot edit pages.

Something like two if statements?
Is this correct?

function boc_add_buttons() {  
   if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') && current_user_can('edit_pages') )  
   {  
     add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'add_plugin');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_3', 'register_button');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_4', 'register_button2');  
   }  
}

if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') && !current_user_can('edit_pages') )  
   {  
     add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'add_plugin');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_3', 'register_button3');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_4', 'register_button2');  
   }  
}

register_button3 would be the new array

Hi again,

Well it’s up to you how you want them.

function boc_add_buttons() {  
   if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') && current_user_can('edit_pages') )  
   {  
     add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'add_plugin');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_3', 'register_button');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_4', 'register_button2');  
   }  

if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') && !current_user_can('edit_pages') )  
{  
     add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'add_plugin');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_3', 'register_button3');  
     add_filter('mce_buttons_4', 'register_button2');  
}

}

But have the second IF in the same function.
