   Hey!

   I am using Quick Chat primarily because the dashboard admin chat widget and was wondering if it is possible to make other users than admins (editors and authors in this case) able to participate in the chat since it is a very useful feature for me having a chat with my whole staff.

   Cheers!

   Yes it is possible to modify Quick Chat source to behave this way. I'll try to squeeze this into next version I'm preparing.

   Cheers to you ;)

   Thank you so much for your reply! I am looking forward to tho new feature.

   Until the new update is released, is there a way for me to configure this on my own?

   I am also very interested in translating your plugin into Swedish. Would you like me to?

   Thanks again!

   Hi, long story short, line 1273 to 1240 of quick-chat.php states:

   public function add_dashboard_widgets() {
       if($this->user_status == 0)
           wp_add_dashboard_widget('quick_chat_dashboard_widget', __('Quick Chat Admin\'s Lounge','quick-chat'), array($this, 'dashboard_widget'));
   }

   To make "Author" (and more privileged roles) to be able to chat convert this code into something like:

   public function add_dashboard_widgets() {
       if(current_user_can('edit_published_posts'))
           wp_add_dashboard_widget('quick_chat_dashboard_widget', __('Quick Chat Admin\'s Lounge','quick-chat'), array($this, 'dashboard_widget'));
   }

   You can replace edit_published_posts with any capability from table here to make it more or less restrictive. I recommend placing 'edit_posts' for "Contributor" (and more privileged roles) and 'read' capability for "Subscriber" (and more privileged roles) but any role from table will work.

   Good luck!

   Thanks, this would be a great feature to include, along with options for editing the dashboard widget like the other widgets.
