Your Daily Update: Page Teaser, Category Edit Fixes

Here we go again. Let’s hope you all enjoy my soothing green download screen. I have a bad habit of waking up to the realization of some oversight I made in the previous night’s coding fury. It’s surely not the ideal development model, but since Role Scoper is determined to have a say in everything WordPress displays or saves (and doesn’t always have convenient hooks for doing so), I need to act quickly when it misbehaves. Thanks to everyone who has patiently followed these releases; I see clear progress toward the grand CMS permissions goal.

Thanks to June for the continuing feedback on Hidden Content Teaser issues (seemingly now resolved).

The change log for Role Scoper 0.9.24:

Category Management by non-Administrator:

  • fixed: When the parent category was hidden, could not edit without changing actual parent category
  • fixed: “Manage Categories” list was overly restricted

Hidden Content Teaser:

  • fixed: Teaser was not working for pages (was always hiding them)

Admin – Exclusive Sections / Section Roles:

  • change: Link to Exclusive Sections from single Category Edit page is now captioned “Access Restriction (Exclusive Sections)”
  • fun feature: Scroll links in Section Roles and Exclusive Sections are color-trended and size-trended to illustrate hierarchy
