Just what I have been looking for. I know this is an old post but I hope this still works with newer versions of WP.

cool plugin idea! So how I understand it is like the standard meta-widget, but only visible for the webmaster of the site. Cool

Paul three posts above is correct, there’s a problem with using user_level on PHP4. However…

User Levels (http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels) were replaced in WordPress 2.0 by Roles and Capabilities (http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities).

To avoid this known problem (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8317) simple change line 15 of the plugin from “if ($user_level == 10)” to “if (current_user_can(‘manage_options’))”

Sara, if you want editors to have access too, change it to “if (current_user_can(‘edit_post’))”.

Although this would bump the minimum wordpress version up to 2 from 1.5, I imagine it’ll affect a fair number of people, as I’m just doing a bog standard blog and it affected me.

Very nice plugin, I’m using it with Wordpress 2.7 and it’s working well for me when I log in as an administrator.

I am a web designer and the site I put it on, is one that the site’s owner logs into as an Editor. Frankly I think this would be a killer plugin in you could set it up so that Editors and Authors could see the appropriate Admin Links as well — making it Administrator-Level only isn’t so good for me.

So — please add a function where Editors and Authors can see the widget’s output as well.

Thanks!

So is the problem with 2.7.1 fixed ?

I found out the problem with this plugin. The user-level for admin is not created in the usermeta table when installing WordPress 2.7.1 using PHP 4.x – it does get created when installing using php 5.x. Simple fix is to create another user as an administrator. You can then login as that user, change the original admin to another role and back to administrator and the user level will be created in the usermeta table and everything works.

I could have sworn I commented on this before. Regardless, this is a great idea. If you could take it one step further and allow admins to leave notes for one another somehow, that would be awesome. Is that possible?

One of my fellow Atahualpa Forum members, the awesome PaulaE, may have located the problem. The Admin Links plugin seems to assume (require) that WordPress is installed in the root. Paula and I both have WP installed in a subdirectory, but “visible” and running from the root.

Paula added the appropriate subdir “/wpdir/” for each of the plugin’s options and seems to have it running on her site.

if (is_page() && $show_editthispage) {
echo ‘Edit This Page‘;

@Jim: I’m assuming that your other widgets are working correctly? I’m not entirely sure what the problem would be. I’ve tried the widget out on several different themes, and it’s worked properly.

To make sure, I downloaded the latest version of your theme, and the latest version of the plugin (1.3.1) and tried it on a fresh install of WP 2.7.1 and it is indeed working correctly.

All I can suggest at this point is trying to enable/disable various combinations of sidebar widgets to see if one or more don’t play nicely together.
