In reply to: Individual “Admin” Rights for UsersDoes anyone know if this is compatible with 2.7+ ?
If by “this” you mean the Role Manager plugin, then yes, it is.

In reply to: Recipe siteI like it. The navigation linkes are a little light, they’re tough to see on my monitor.
Also, FYI, on the current computer I’m on, your sidebar wraps below the content of the page. (I had this problem on my own blog as well. The content of one of my widgets was slightly increasing the width of my left sidebar, which pushed the entire right sidebar below it on my work computer’s browser and resolution.)
Otherwise, looks nice. 🙂

In reply to: Not Resolved – Loading Bar Randomly Appearing in IE6, Not in IE7Hmm. Can a mod mark this as unresolved? I think I accidentally marked it resolved. Thanks.

Thanks much!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Restrict the List of Posts to current authors only (obviously not Admin!)FYI, unfortunately, I don’t believe the plugin extends the same functionality to the Comments page in the Dashboard. Though I’d appreciate if the coders among us could assess how easy it would be to add that to the functionality.

In reply to: [Plugin: AJAX Login Widget ] Future Work (from v1.0.1)I’d be interested in seeing that template, Bak, if nothing else just to look over the code to see how you’ve done it. (I’m slowly trying to learn PHP/CSS.)

In reply to: Restrict the List of Posts to current authors only (obviously not Admin!)As a followup to my previous post, that plugin doesn’t change a user’s capabilities, it simply masks any posts not authored by them in the dashboard’s Edit Post screen.
If you’re looking to actually adjust user capabilities or roles, you’d need to go for one or more plugins like Role Manager, Role Scoper, etc.

In reply to: Restrict the List of Posts to current authors only (obviously not Admin!)See if the plugin Manage Your Posts Only will work for you. Here is the official plugin description:
Makes it so normal users can see only their posts and drafts from the manage posts screen. Great for multi-user blogs where you want users to only see posts that they have created. WordPress already makes it so they cannot edit the posts, but still allows them to see the titles. This can get annoying to find your posts mixed in with thousands of others.

In reply to: Book/Movie Rating and Review SystemTo be honest, I don’t have a good grasp on all of the Rating plugins out there, so I can’t give a good assessment of which would be good for you.
I mainly just wanted let you know the rating plugin I use as a point of reference as you’re doing your research.
I use GD Star Rating, which has an enormous number of options, and allows multiple types of rating per post (if you turn that function on).
I also like it because it provides a widget that lets you list rated posts/pages AND restrict by category. So, for example, if you had a category “Horror,” and wanted to list in your sidebar the 10 most highly-rated posts (films) in that category, you could do so.

In reply to: Getting a Particular category showing up on home pageNot sure how it would mesh with your custom template, but would a plugin work for you? Advanced Category Excluder lets you exclude categories from pages.

In reply to: I cannot figure out where line is coming fromI don’t see that line either, also IE7.

In reply to: Prevent Non-Admin Role From Editing/Deleting CommentsUpdate: I’ve experimented with a bunch of combinations of plugins and restrictions within those plugins. I just can’t seem to get it done.
At this point I’d settle for something that simply masks a user’s ability to edit/delete comments in their post while still retaining the ability to publish and edit their original post.
If no one knows of a plugin that could do this, are there some code adjustments that could be made?
Thanks.

In reply to: How do you edit roles?Southbound,
FYI, I’m using the Role Manager plugin effectively in 2.7, and also in my recently uprgraded 2.7.1, to restrict Role capabilities and lower a role’s User Level.

In reply to: Specifying Post Category at Home PageYou might take a look at the plugin Advanced Category Excluder. Should allow you to pick and choose which categories you want to display on the homepage.
Also has functionality to add a widget that lists posts from only certain categories.
Hope this is what you’re looking for.
(If you’re looking to do this without a plugin, can’t help ya’. Not a coder.)
