Description

We all know that WP is more like a CMS compared to just a piece of blogging software, and when it comes to having multiple authors, this is when this enhancement would really shine! :) If it doesn't make 3.0, then I'd hope 3.1 anyway?

So basically when you add another user, or alter a users account, the option will be there to check the boxes of whatever category and/or any taxonomies that particular person will be allowed to have posts published in. That's the plan anyway!

  • Keywords needs-patch removed

Erm... plugin territory?

The available categories for each author can be stored in the usermeta table.

The thought had crossed my mind to be honest, but I assumed (Maybe wrongfully!) that it wouldn't take much, and I guess being a non-coder, just possible enhancement thinker, doesn't help not being able to offer a patch! :(

Almost sounds like a different language to me!

I agree with scribu, this is plugin territory. Maybe a plugin like this might help? http://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-categories/
