The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Allow All Users To Access All items on "Tools" menu on Dashboard (4 posts)

    There is a plugin called MTR podcast recorder that allows the admin to record his/her voice and easily insert it into a post. Once installed, the option to use the recorder is under "tools" menu in the dashboard but this option is only able to be viewed by the admin. I would like any user to be able to use the recorder.

    If I could make it so that the recorder option appears to all users under the "tools" menu in the dashboard the problem would be solved.

    I think this could be a huge breakthrough.

    Could anyone please prescribe some edit/replace or coding that could alter this plugin or wordpress as a whole so that all users can view all items in the "tools menu"- not just the admin.

    Thanks in advance,

    And a freebie: it's the plugin itself that determines who sees the menu. Look for the line that registers the menu and there's number that refers to the capability level. In this case, it's probably a 10. make it a 0.

    Hi,

    You can edit line 465 from the mtr-podcasts-plugin.php file (located in the mtr-podcast-recorder plugin directory) from:

    add_management_page('MTR Podcast Recorder', 'MTR Podcast Recorder', 5, basename(__FILE__), array(&$jrecorder, 'displayRecorder'));

    to:

    add_management_page('MTR Podcast Recorder', 'MTR Podcast Recorder', 2, basename(__FILE__), array(&$jrecorder, 'displayRecorder'));

    This will make the MTR Podcast Recorder Tools page available to all your blog authors.
