I have had complaints from people who find it too much hassle to get to the area where they write a new post once they are already logged in. Is there a simple Button or plugin that displays a One-Click-Option to get to the "Write New Post" backend?

From where? The dashboard/admin area?
Click "write" and it takes you right there.
Other than that, it's no more than 2 clicks away, or better still... a bookmark.
They want it from their main page.., where now it states over every post "edit" to also have a link that takes you straight to a "write New Post" page in the back-end.
You want http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/MU-Admin-Bar. You'll need to massage the code to fit the look and feel of your site. Look into the code and you'll see a straightforward method of putting any link to anything you like as a short cut at the top of the front end pages of any blog.
Since, in my current Theme, there is a line in the index.php that reads:
<?php edit_post_link('Edit','','|'); ?>
referring to edit a post, I can not just add a line like:
<?php post_new_link('New Post','','|'); ?>
to give me a little text button over every post to link to write a new post?
Did you try it? It looks liek it'll work.
I've got a login widget with a "write new post" link with it that I could send to you, if you want it.
I tried it, but it gives an error message and I don't really know what to change to get rid of it. If you could send me the plugin, that would be excellent.. I will owe you another one.
Thanks.
I am trying the King Login Widget, have installed and switched on the King Includes first, but as soon as I switch on the King Login I immediately get an error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/.kitubah/dutchy4c3/coffeennews.com/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 446
What should I do..?
I use
<?php
global $user_ID, $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if (!$user_ID):
echo "<li><a href='"; echo get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=login&redirect_to=' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; echo "' title='Connectez-vous à votre compte sur [InDa]Blog. Vous serez automatiquement redirigé sur cette page'>Connexion</a></li>";
echo "<li>Pas encore inscrit ? <a href='http://inda-blog.com/wp-signup.php' title='Créez un compte, et rejoignez la communauté !'>Créez un compte</a> !</li>";
echo "\n";
else:
echo "<li>\nBonjour, "; echo $user_identity; echo " !</li>";
echo "<li><a href='"; echo bloginfo('wpurl'); echo "/wp-admin/' title='Gérez votre blog'>Tableau de Bord</a></li>";
echo "<li><a href='"; echo bloginfo('wpurl'); echo "/wp-admin/post-new.php' title='Créez un nouvel article sur votre blog'>Nouvel article</a></li>";
echo "<li><a href='http://inda-blog.com/wp-signup.php' title='Créez un nouveau blog associé à votre compte sur [InDa]Blog'>Nouveau blog</a></li>";
echo "<li><a href='"; echo get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; echo "'>Déconnexion</a></li>\n";
endif;
?>
on [InDa]Blog. I think that was adapted from the login anywhere plugin, but I'm not sure.
Seems to work well
has anybody done this really simplified ajax edit in place thing?

Just to say that @dsader's http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/MU-Admin-Bar is No Joy ... not sure what happened to it.
This thread sort of connects with what I'm wondering re: roles/permissions. I'm going to need real fine granularity e.g. not all editors can publish posts (at least not w/o moderation).
Simplest way to restrict an action is to not offer the page or function at all ... minimal use of multi-purpose Admin-style pages ... show folk no more than they actually need in the moment, and don't display what they don't have perms to use.
Not sure either, becasue I just d/l a copy a week or so ago. :D
re: roles - look into the Role Manager plugin. Doesn't work as a sitewide solution, but it *does* work in the regular plugins folder on a blog-by-blog basis.
