You’re completely right, not sure how I overlooked that one.

Cheers

Hi Robin

Sorry to bother you again! I’ve realised that whilst the above will allow users with the filtered capability to access the settings page, they won’t be able to actually submit any of the forms as they don’t have the correct cap for that (manage_options).

I’ve added a fix for this below. It allows us to specify the cap required to submit a particular option form. So I could allow keymasters to submit only the ‘group settings’ form using..

add_filter('rpg_plugin_group_settings_capability', 'mytheme_bbp_private_groups_settings_access');
function mytheme_bbp_private_groups_settings_access($cap) {
	return 'publish_forums';
}

It would go in includes/settings.php just after line 414 (after rpg_register_settings() ).

// ALLOW US TO SPECIFY WHO CAN MANAGE CERTAIN SETTINGS:
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function rpg_forum_page_capability( $capability ) {
	$capability = apply_filters('rpg_plugin_forum_settings_capability','manage_options');
    return $capability;
}
function rpg_general_page_capability( $capability ) {
	$capability = apply_filters('rpg_plugin_general_settings_capability','manage_options');
    return $capability;
}
function rpg_group_page_capability( $capability ) {
	$capability = apply_filters('rpg_plugin_group_settings_capability','manage_options');
    return $capability;
}
function rpg_roles_page_capability( $capability ) {
	$capability = apply_filters('rpg_plugin_roles_settings_capability','manage_options');
    return $capability;
}
add_filter( 'option_page_capability_rpg_forum_settings', 	'rpg_forum_page_capability' );
add_filter( 'option_page_capability_rpg_general_settings', 	'rpg_general_page_capability' );
add_filter( 'option_page_capability_rpg_group_settings', 	'rpg_group_page_capability' );
add_filter( 'option_page_capability_rpg_roles_settings', 	'rpg_roles_page_capability' );
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uses this hook: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/hooks/option_page_capability_option_page/

Thanks again

Thanks Robin, much appreciated. Basically the filter will allow anyone who hooks into it to change the capability. So with the new filter it’s possible to add the following into my theme’s functions.php or elsewhere..

// Enable Keymaster access to the settings page:
add_filter('rpg_plugin_settings_capability', 'mytheme_bbp_private_groups_settings_access');
function mytheme_bbp_private_groups_settings_access($cap)
{
	return 'publish_forums';
}

The value of $cap will default to ‘manage_options’ if the filter isn’t hooked into, otherwise it’ll be the value returned from the hooked function (see above example). $cap replaces the hardcoded ‘manage_options’ string in the add_submenu_page() function.

Cheers
