WordPress MU

Hi all,

Thought I would post this in case anyone is curious (since these pages have been uber-useful to me) and to see if anyone knows of a better way.

Problem: I want the users on my MU site to have limited editorial powers (a clean admin interface is an un-intimidating one) -- basically an editor who can change themes. That's it.

Solution: The only way to do this (I have found) is to hack the Database and change:

User-meta --> Wp_XX_capabilities to:
a:2:{s:13:"switch_themes";b:1;s:6:"editor";b:1;}

Anyone know of a way to do this by default? I already changed the wpmu-functions file to make 'em editors by default but I want it ALL!!! (So - I'm lazy... and don't want to always have to change the DB when I register a new user...)

Cheers!

These two in combination should do it:

http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/default-user-role - change the user role without a hack

http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/Menus - to restrict the menus available

Groovy - that's a killer combo.

I just get nervous when I start stacking plugins on top of each other... but I'll give it a whirl.

Does the toggle allow for one to show a menu item? Or just hide it?

I'm thinking I'll need only it, register the users as admin, then hide everything except'n for those I wants them to see. Hmm.

"then hide everything except'n for those I wants them to see. "

that's exactly what it does. :)
