User Gulag

February 1st, 2006 · 3 Comments

out-of-reach.GIFThis plugin restricts users’ posting and editing rights based on which category they’re adding/editing in.  You can define per category editing rights!  That’s especially cool when you combine this with the Subster Rejuvenation plugin.  Then you can have different themes for subdomained categories and have like a whole new blog that other people can fuck with but it’s all under the same admin panel.
What you do is, install it, then give the user a role like Contributor or Editor and then go to the Options/Gulag menu to set their category permissions.

If you have no boxes checked for a user, then they have access to all the categories.

Use this in combination with Winkleman’s Role Manager plugin for some cool results.  At least I think so.  I haven’t tried it.

    Restrict posters to particular categories…

    User Gulag allows you to set posting permissions by category in the WordPress user manager, and it should work well with this easier role management plugin.

    Thats a nice plug-in. Thanks for the idea. Actually i was looking for a plug-in to do the same with roles not user’s. A way to set add/edit permissions to posts in particular categories by users role.

    Can you help me code?

    thank you before hand.
