Post Levels plugin v0.2

February 19, 2005 Tagged: plugin, postlevels, wordpress

Version 0.2 of the Post Levels plugin has been released.

Changes:

Two new functions were added:

is_private: Returns true if the current post is private (this follows the same model as the other “is” functions)
is_post_level($level): Returns true if the current post’s level is equal to $level, which defaults to 0

Download

Post Levels Plugin v0.2

Install

Installation instructions

Using the New Functions

An example for using the is_private() function is shown below:

<?php if (function_exists('is_private') && is_private()) : ?>
  <span class="private">(private)</span>
<?php endif;?>

It is good style to check if the function exists before calling, in case the plugin is disabled for some reason.

After I installed this plugin, an error I've never seen before appeared when I wished to manage posts:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filter_posts() in /home/aelyssir/public_html/wp/wp-blog-header.php on line 258

Could this be due to the plugin and how can it be fixed?

Nevermind! I fixed the problem, by myself. I had been using the ViewLevel plugin before and I had forgotten to change the last line in wp-blog-header.php. Thanks for plugin!

I installed the plugin and it appears that users are directed to the dashboard and can even post in a blog once they are registered. How do I solve this? Thanks. :)

Carla: What you're seeing is actually an issue with the WordPress login system, it auto-directs people to the dashboard. If you know PHP, you can edit this in code -- but I don't know of a way to do this from my plug in.

There's no perfect way (WordPress fails here a bit), but if you edit the beginning of menu.php, you can change the minimum level of each section in the admin area.

(private)

But I was expecting it to tell users who were not logged in that there is a private post there. But it doesn't is this a WP1.5 issue, and I can't wait for the new release the plans you have for it sound awesome ;)

apparently your plug in is the only one that is being updated anymore, and people that made other plugins think yours is better anyway.
I was really hoping in the index or whatever file I could just write some code like

it's nice to get a reply even if nope can't do this. I won't give up and hopefully I will get a solution to what I want sometime.

Giles: I'll add your request to the to-do list, but it's a lower priority than getting better UI and RSS feed support (which more people are requesting)

fil, what kind of UI are you trying to add? Also yeah it would be cool to be able to config the plugin more. Have some check boxes to enable a lock picture or not too. Also to show to public that there is a private post or not show ... just some stuff to toggle.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way for the categories/calendar to display correctly for people who are privileged. (Right now, it only shows public posts, even for people who can see the private ones.)

Dinh: This is a known issue, and it's currently a limitation in WordPress' plug-in architecture
