User capability to manage tribe event categories

[johnpokeefe]

Hi Guys,
I have explored various contributions to this issue but have not found anything that I can use.

I wish simply to use the equivalent of the wp capability manage_categories (which I can easily remove for posts) for tribe events.

The list of user roles and permissions that you provide is lacking this particular capability which I would have thought would be labelled something like: manage_tribe_event_categories.

Are you able to provide me with a route to define / add this capability to user roles.

Many thanks,

John

Hi John,

It’s certainly possible to modify the capabilities required to manage categories. A minimal example would look something like this:

Once adjusted to meet your specific needs, this could be added either to a custom plugin (preferred) or else to your theme’s functions.php file.

To add your new capabilities to users, you might want to make use of the WP_Roles::add_cap() method or else you could possibly do a lot of this via a suitable plugin if you prefer a non-programmatic approach.

For custom dev tasks like this we’re going to have to leave a lot of the fine detail to you, but I do hope this at least helps to get you started 🙂

Hi Mat,

Concerned that you didn’t get this.

Does it look practical?
