  • After I installed this plugin, an error I've never seen before appeared when I wished to manage posts:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filter_posts() in /home/aelyssir/public_html/wp/wp-blog-header.php on line 258

    Could this be due to the plugin and how can it be fixed?

  • Nevermind! I fixed the problem, by myself. I had been using the ViewLevel plugin before and I had forgotten to change the last line in wp-blog-header.php. Thanks for plugin!

  • I installed the plugin and it appears that users are directed to the dashboard and can even post in a blog once they are registered. How do I solve this? Thanks. :)

  • Carla: What you're seeing is actually an issue with the WordPress login system, it auto-directs people to the dashboard. If you know PHP, you can edit this in code -- but I don't know of a way to do this from my plug in.

  • Ok, I can figure that out but what about their ability to post?

  • There's no perfect way (WordPress fails here a bit), but if you edit the beginning of menu.php, you can change the minimum level of each section in the admin area.

    But I was expecting it to tell users who were not logged in that there is a private post there. But it doesn't is this a WP1.5 issue, and I can't wait for the new release the plans you have for it sound awesome ;)

  • apparently your plug in is the only one that is being updated anymore, and people that made other plugins think yours is better anyway.
    I was really hoping in the index or whatever file I could just write some code like

    it's nice to get a reply even if nope can't do this. I won't give up and hopefully I will get a solution to what I want sometime.

  • fil, what kind of UI are you trying to add? Also yeah it would be cool to be able to config the plugin more. Have some check boxes to enable a lock picture or not too. Also to show to public that there is a private post or not show ... just some stuff to toggle.

  • Hi, I was wondering if there is a way for the categories/calendar to display correctly for people who are privileged. (Right now, it only shows public posts, even for people who can see the private ones.)

  • I was wondering if there is a way so logged in users can see the private posts. At the moment I'm the only one that sees that because I am the highest user level. But I would like to change it so users with user level > 1 can see them

  • So... if I set the level of the post as 0, which is default, it does nothing and everyone can see it? Or is it seen by those who are registered but have a level of 0 or above?

    Thank you, by the way, this is solving quite a bit of problems for me. :-)

  • Can a page be secured by this plugin? I hate the password feature and would like the same functionality for pages like this have for posts.

    I hope to update the plugin some time this weekend (the day job is keeping me quite busy).

  • i also got an error when i upgraded to wp 1.5.1
    here the error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_currentuserinfo() in /home/www/htdocs/stefan-goehring.net/glatzopatzo/wp-content/plugins/post-levels.php on line 20

    i use some other plugins which use that function and i don't get an error from them. perhaps there is an include or require missing??

  • thats the same error I am getting. I dont know what other plugins use that, so I am of no help. And also fil if you are planning on working on it this weekend, any chance you can make a button to "make Private" when posting so you dont have to add post_level=x

  • the problem is that get_currentuserinfo() is now part of "plugga ble functions," which "/* These functions can be replaced via plugins. They are loaded after plugins are loaded. */"

    since the function is loaded AFTER the plugin, it's not defined at the time of plugin execution

  • i found out the same as crash but i couldn't solve the problem, so i downgraded to 1.5 again and it works fine again.

    @fil: i found the function get_currentuserinfo() in the plugin WYSI-Wordpress, but it is imho only executed when writing or editing an article.
    i tried including / requiring the pluggable...php file (just try and error not really knowing what i'm doing) in the post-levels.php but didn't work. i also copied the function directly in your plugin but didn't work either...

  • Hey, I'm also getting that error.

    Part of the code where it says "In case we're running stand-alone..." I removed that, and the corresponding "}" and "else..." codes but then the posts functioned as private posts.

    Since 1.5.1 is supposed to fix some security loopholes I decided to stick with the upgrade, and have uninstalled this plugin.

    Hope you can find a fix soon =)

  • Just found something might be useful to you.
    A list of plugin hooks http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Skippy/Plugin_H...

    currentuserinfo is not in the list, might this be the reason why?

  • I've made a few changes to the code (it's a hack, more or less) to let registered users with *level 0* read post_level=1 posts. This way I can chose to just write something for my registered users, without letting them get writeaccess to the blog.

    I've tried to outline how it is done on my blog; http://www.velmont.net/2005/05/12/post-levels/ - I do hope it can be useful for anyone. (it's nothing advanced, but maybe everyone doesn't know PHP well enough to hack around themselves) :)

  • Ok, I found it, on "Advanced Editing." Seems ok, but a little awkward. My old WP 1.2 blog had a better implementation with Skippy's User-Level hack/plugin, which had a nice user-level drop-down menu on the main "Edit" page. This would be a nice addition here, as would be some sort of "Lock" icon. In any case, I'm grateful for your efforts so far on this useful plug-in.

  • All: I've updated the Post Level plugin to be compatible with 1.5.1
  • Where does this go?
    This is not working for me.
    The private posts don't show up even when I'm logged in as a user at the right levels.
