Lock Pages plugin (beta)

    I’ve just written my first plugin (based on this template). I’ve had some issues with clients where some staff who edit content have been lax about maintaining URLs (i.e. they’re changing slugs and page parents). Obviously some flexibility is needed, but I thought that it would be good to be able to “lock” certain pages, to prevent all but certain users from editing the slug or parent, to protect important URLs. So:

    It basically works, but it’d be great if anyone who’s interested in this type of functionality could put it through its paces (on a test site!). Eventually I’ll release it on Extend, but as this is my first plugin I’m going to keep it emphatically beta until I’m a little more confident about it. Any feedback welcome!

    I would like a plugin to also lock single posts. Great plugin anyway.

    Thanks wikipress. I focused on pages because that was the real need for my client. I think users are more likely to think of changing a page’s parent than changing a post’s date or category (assuming these instances are what the post permalinks are based on). I guess you might be wanting to prevent the slug from being changed?

    It would be a good addition, but I’m flat out at the moment. You’re welcome of course to have a go yourself – send me the code if you get it working, I’ll include it in the next release.
