So the plugin hit the big 1.0, and I didn’t make a post about it. It also occured to me to test the plugin in a free webhosting service…only to realize that my plugin has a fundamental flaw. It isn’t really the plugin’s fault, it was my lack of foresight. I didn’t seem to think that different servers will of course have different settings. I had a funny feeling about the function used to move uploaded temporary files, and I suppose I figured what that is now.

So 1.0 came, and it will go to make way to 1.1, which has a different uploading method which hopefully will work with all servers that has file_upload in their PHP configuration turned on.

I know that this version will be merged with Wordpress itself, but in case anyone wants to use it for their current Wordpress μ (mu). I feel it’d be wise to cover that until they do merge it…then there’ll be more testing to ensure that it works.

The reason that it needs to be tested is because the plugin only works if the user has admin level rights. So would that mean only people who have the capabilities to create new blog can use this plugin? Or people who have access to their own blog can use it?

Whatever the answer is, the feature to control at what level the user has to be to use the plugin can be changed in the options menu might be added, depending on how feasible it is. If anyone can provide tips on how to do it without reinventing the wheel, leave a comment and let me know.

Edit: is_admin determines whether or not you’re in the admin section, not your user level. User level restrictions has to be executed after the plugin’s loaded. The plugin becomes available to all blogs unless the plugin menu is available to each blogs (set by the site admin). Since user levels are used with single installs, I don’t think there’ll be much problem with making the plugin work with the next version.
