   Hi

   I'm using Slideshow Gallery, but the way the plugin is set up means that only administrators can add new images or edit the gallery.

   I'd really like to be able to allow Editors and Authors to be able to do this too.

   Can anyone let me know how to achieve this? I'm guessing it would require adding a function or editing the plugin itself?

   Many thanks

   Thanks Samuel.

   I've installed Role Scoper but can't see how I can use it to change the roles for Slideshow Gallery - the Gallery plugin doesn't use Categories.

   Is there something I'm missing?

   I'm happy to hack the plugin itself if that's easier too.

   Thanks

   I figured it out:

   to do this change lines 50 & 51 in the plugin file 'slideshow-gallery.php' to this:

   add_menu_page(__('Slideshow', $this -> plugin_name), __('Slideshow', $this -> plugin_name), 7, "gallery", array($this, 'admin_slides'), $this -> url() . '/images/icon.png');
   		$this -> menus['gallery'] = add_submenu_page("gallery", __('Manage Slides', $this -> plugin_name), __('Manage Slides', $this -> plugin_name), 7, "gallery", array($this, 'admin_slides'));

   The number (', 7, "gallery", ') denotes the level of user who sees the admin menu. It was set at 10, which is admin only.

   I'd imagine it's very obvious to plugin writers - but it wasn't to me! Now I just have to remember to edit it when I update the plugin.
