Supporter and Menus (Enable or disable WP Backend Menus)

Hi,

Using WPMU 2.8.4a & still rookie with WPMU.

When you go to SiteAdmin > Options there is an area titled:

Menus (Enable or disable WP Backend Menus)

I want to provide Supporters all of the items/options but provide non-supporters only a few. For example, Supporters may create links but non-supporters not; Supporters may create tags but non-supporters not; Supporters may add media, but non-supporters not, etc.

How can I do that?

If not possible, could it be included on the next version of Supporter?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    I’m afraid that’s not something we’ll most likely be including directly into the Supporter plugin. However, what you want to achieve isn’t difficult. Attached is a plugin that should get you started. Basically it removes menu items for non-supporters. I’ve included the links and media menus as examples and you can find the other menu items in ‘wp-admin/menu.php’.

    Note that while this technically does remove the menu item, users can still access the various pages by pecking in the urls.

    Thanks,

    Andrew
