Hi JZ,
I’m having the same problem here. The Analytics360 submenu only shows up when I’m logged in as an admin. Did you find a solution to also give access to editors yet?
Regards,
Ben

Sorry no…
I’m thinking of installing wordpress
stats plugin so my users can see
something.

A pity. I wrote an email to MailChimp yesterday but I’m not sure if they care about non-paying customers 🙂
(I’ll post the answer if I get one)
Thanks for replying anyway. Guess another option would be to register a new Gmail account and let my editors access the statistics through google.com/analytics

“In regards to your query, there is currently not a way to allow users with editors rights access to the statistics without providing them your login credentials. Let us know if you have any further questions. This is a great idea. Your best bet would be to add this to our official wish list.

Thanks for stepping on on this…

I resolved this by changing all of the instances of “manage_options” to “moderate_comments” in analytics360.php and my Editor can now see the menu option and the data. Since that plugin is read-only it doesn’t hurt anything that I’ve seen thus far.
Yippie, it works here too! 🙂
Thanks a lot!

Hey guys I just made the changes to
the permissions like described above,
and it worked but…
I get these weird question marks
coming up.

Help?
It can be even more playful with the permissions as analytics360.php has pretty clear code. In the different functions you can unfluence which user level can see the Dashboard widget and/or Settings >> Analytics360 by using these levels:
Roles and Capabilities.
Like this, we easily gave Settings >> Analytics360 options rights only to admins and all subscribers can actually see Dashboard >> Analytics360.
Cheers!
This was a perfect swift-fix…I appreciate the community share, big time!
Before you replace all five instances with “moderate_comments” be sure to leave line 640 untouched. You will prevent editors from being able to “access settings” page which could be bad. You want to protect your other clients data.
If only there was a way to display this on the dashboard now..one less click!
p.s. – Mhmm…chinese chicken w/cashews is amazing.
Hey, I tried to follow the instructions here to do this, but I noticed that the function that builds the menus is now tieing the settings and read only page together into the same code. So, what I did, was change all instances of ‘manage_options’ to ‘moderate_comments’, but then I copied the function for the menu, and put it and the original behind an IF/ELSE statement and removed the creation of the settings page in the appropriate place, and voila. settings page for admin, analytics page for admin and editors!
I wrote a tutorial, and copied my code onto my wordpress tutorial site
@erikshosting
the code in your page is not easily readable… i did this pastebin, and modified a little bit the conditionals
also, it’s necessary to modify function a360_request_handler() – line #210, and change “manage_options” to “publish_posts” (the pastebin has full instructions)
cheers
Thanks brasofilo for the tweak – I appreciate the love brotha man.
maggew, chinese chicken with cashews is so dam good that i learned to do it myself :o)
salut, bro
