Thanks to an observant user (Rob) for flagging me on an important bug whose fix now forces the release of Role Scoper 1.0.0 Beta 6. The bug only pertains to previous 1.0.0 Beta releases. The new bulk administration form for setting Post/Page restrictions did not correctly store the restriction data for the Post/Page Reader or Editor roles. Note: Since the bug generated incomplete database entries, the version update alone will not fix affected entries. Any blogs which used RS 1.0.0 Beta 1 through 5 to set these restrictions should:
- Install this update
- Re-save the restrictions using either bulk admin or the individual post/page edit form
Other changes in this release:
- fixed: If a user has editor role for any post, their comment on any other post is auto-approved.
- fixed: Some users see Roles and Restrictions menu although they cannot access any submenus
- fixed: In Post/Page edit form, Restrict caption in roles tabs was not linked to checkbox
- fixed: By default, bulk listing of posts/pages without roles/restrictions (i.e. show empty) was limited to oldest 100 (should be newest 100).
- feature: Title text for “show empty” link indicates listing limit
- feature: Hint text at top of Post Restrictions / Page Restrictions page reflects actual taxonomy usage (“Category Role assignments” instead of “Section Role assignments”)
