    My client gets an auteur account for the website I’m making, and I want him to update the table.
    All he needs is the Table Contents panel, how can I remove the other panels only for him?

    Hi,

    unfortunately, you can’t.
    In the “Plugin Options”, you can set which role is necessary to access the plugin (and with that add, edit, delete, import or export tables), and in a separate setting, which role is necessary to change plugin options and settings.
    A more fine tunes control is not possible. Either someone can access the plugin, or can not. And if he can access the plugin, either he can additionally change plugin options, or he can not, all depending on his user role.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    Yes I already found the option to change the permission for the plugin options, thanks anyway.

    Maybe it’s a good idea for a next update?

    Hi,

    thanks for the feedback!

    Unfortunately, this is totally not easy to implement in the current structure of the plugin, so it really won’t be in the next update, even if I wanted to 🙂 Something like this is not even included in WordPress (as so that it satisfied everybody). There’s a lot of promising work going on however, with the capability system, so maybe I can incorporate that into the plugin in the future.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Maybe you didn’t understand my question. Because this option is included in WordPress.
    When you’re for instance on the Dashboard there’s a ‘Screen Options’ tab on the top right. Here you can choose to display or hide certain panels.

    Hi,

    oh, ok. This is what you mean 🙂 Yeah, I guess I did get you wrong. Sorry.

    Unfortunately, this is also not possible at the moment. I have plans to implement this feature, but a few unwise decisions back when I started the development of the plugins hinder me to do so, because they make the process much more complicated. For example, the part of the plugin that saves the table data after it has been edited expects all fields on the “Edit” screen to have values upon the form transmission, but this is not guaranteed, if certain sections are hidden.

    But hopefully I can find a nice solution for this without the need of a complete restructuring of the plugin in the future…

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Ok I understand your problem. I’m not that technical but maybe you could use the same technique as your doing right now with the Hide option on the right side of every panel.

    Thanks for your fast answers, you offer great support 🙂
