I’ve released version 0.2 of the plugin. The functionality that was originally planned is now implemented. The next thing now, is to find a way to group users and to set permissions to these groups.

The management page is almost finished. I’ve implemented the “clear permissions” functionality, but the “set permissions” is still just a button.

I’ve started thinking about some kind of user management. I think it would be best, if it was possible to group users, so that it would be possible to set permissions to a group as well as individual users. Well, the “set permissions” has the highest priority at the moment, but I think that the grouping functionality would be nice to have.

I realized today, that if you had given permissions to a page or post to more than one user, none of the users would see the content. This bug has been fixed in version 0.1.4. This version also introduces the copy permissions feature.

I’m not sure if users that are not logged in, are able to see the comments of hidden pages. Please visit http://wordpress.sundskard.dk/archives/41/feed and tell me if you see my comment to “Protected post” or not. It might just be the browser cache that is playing around with me.

The project is now hosted at wordpress.org. I’ve uploaded the first release for testing purposes only. The plugin is usable, but there are still features missing. Read the previous post to find out whats missing.

The development of the plugin is in progress. Most of the regular features are working, but I still need to make the “set permissions quickly” and “copy permissions” form in the backend management section.

However, there are some problems that I’m facing at the moment. I can’t figure out how to hide the comments of hidden posts. At the moment, users without access to a protected post can still read the comments by visiting the comments feed.

I’ve signed up for a plugin hosting account at wordpress.org so hopefully the first release of the plugin will be available soon.

I’ve started developing a plugin for Wordpress that will make it possible to allow named users to access specific content on a wordpress blog system.

Features:

• Select users who will have access to posts/pages when writing/editing.
• Quickly set permissions of many posts/pages without opening each one.
• Copy permissions from one user to another.
• Hide content of protected posts/pages.
• Exclude protected posts/pages from appearing in the menu.
• Exclude protected posts/pages from appearing in feeds.
