View own notes only

Hi Gatera,

By default this is possible by toggling the ‘visibility’ icon to ‘me’ so only you view that note. I think that is not what you’re looking for though (since its a user needed action).

Therefore I’ve just created this custom code, this should only display the notes created by the user, for everyone…

global $wp_dashboard_notes;
remove_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', array( $wp_dashboard_notes, 'wpdn_init_dashboard_widget' ) );
add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'custom_wpdn_init_dashboard_widget' );
function custom_wpdn_init_dashboard_widget() {

	global $wp_dashboard_notes;
	$notes = $wp_dashboard_notes->wpdn_get_notes();

	foreach ( $notes as $note ) :

		$note_meta 	= $wp_dashboard_notes->wpdn_get_note_meta( $note->ID );
		$user 		= wp_get_current_user();

		// Skip if private
		if ( $user->ID != $note->post_author ) :
			continue;
		endif;

		// Add widget
		wp_add_dashboard_widget(
			'note_' . $note->ID,
			'<span contenteditable="true" class="wpdn-title">' . $note->post_title . '</span><div class="wpdn-edit-title dashicons dashicons-edit"></div><span class="status"></span>',
			array( $wp_dashboard_notes, 'wpdn_render_dashboard_widget' ),
			'',
			$note
		);

	endforeach;

}

Copy paste this to your themes functions.php

Its tested, but not that extensive.

Let me know if that works out for you.

Thanks,
Jeroen
