BuddyPress QuickPress

November 24, 2009 in BuddyPress QuickPress by admin

Description

This plugin allows the users to write simple posts outside the dashboard (just like QuickPress from the Dashboard).

It adds a “Quickpress” submenu under /blog form which you can easily add a post to any of your blogs.

!This is an alpha release, please check Known Bugs at the end of this post.

Download

Installation

Usage

Just use the submenu Blogs>Quickpress under the user options of the blogs component.

From there, you can select a blog where you want to post; add a title, a text, tags and categories; then post it -without having to use the blog Dashboard.

Capabilities

This plugin checks the user’s capabilities.
That means that the user will not see the Quickpress submenu if he isn’t allowed to write on at least one blog (capability edit_posts); and that the post will not be published if he can’t do it (capability publish_posts).

If he can write a post but not publish it, the post will be saved as pending.

For more informations on Roles & Capabilities, check the Wordpress Codex.

Known Bugs

You can give support in the forum.

Autosuggest

The tags input uses jQuery and ajax (from the WP core) to make autosuggestions, but seems it does not work (but the query seems to be done). Maybe we have to wait WPMU 2.9 for this.

Redirection

When posting elsewhere that on the default (main) blog; the redirection after the post as been published, is broken. (~ line 290 of bp-quickpress.php)

Blogs list

Blogs list do not show if i’m not logged as admin (maybe this is a role problem ?)
