   Hi There,

   Can someone advise if there's a way I can have the editor role to manage and update Fotobook as I currently only have the menu available to teh administrator role.

   I would prefer to make an update to the functions.php rather than use a roles plugin if possible, however as a newbie I have no idea if this is possible and if so, how to do it..

   I did find code for the wp-polls to enable me access for the editor to manage the polls (as below).. Could someone help me please.

   add_action('activate_wp-polls/wp-polls.php', 'tc_add_poll_permissions');
   function tc_add_poll_permissions()	{
   	$add_role = get_role('editor');
   	if(!$add_role->has_cap('manage_polls')) {
   		$add_role->add_cap('manage_polls');
   	}
   }

   Thanks Guys!

   Jami

   This is a bit old now, but thought I'd reply for posterity. I was just looking this up myself to see if it was an option.

   It's not ideal, but you'll have to edit "fotobook.php" in the fotobook plugins directory. Do a search in this file for "fb_add_pages()" to find the right function to modify. You'll see this function calling the "add_media_page" or "add_management_page" function depending on the version of WP you're using. You'll want to change the 3rd parameter (my version says "8", to a capability that an Editor has permission to perform (use this list: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities).

   I used "upload_files" since this is similar to a file upload function in my book.

   My final function call looks like this:

   add_media_page('Media › Fotobook', 'Fotobook', 'upload_files', 'fotobook/manage-fotobook.php');
