Personal Projects and Q&A

Go back to: General discussion

Since the assignments for this class can only cover so much, I thought I would start a forum where students can discuss their personal projects and ask each other for help. Myself, I have been figuring out the best way to make a jquery/ajax slider that I can totally customize, and have been trying to figure out how to set up a user management situation where a company can have a wordpress site, where the employees can access varying levels of the admin area, and then clients can also login but cannot see the admin area, but they do have a custom page for them perhaps.

I am curious who knows anything about those topics, and of course what topics everyone else is trying to figure out for their own projects.

Lets get all P2P up in here!

I like your idea.

Did you figure out how to do the user management thing in WordPress? Did you read the user roles and capabilities in the codex?

Have you ever used any sort of language translator in your WordPress projects?

I have been thinking about trying the user management with pods with version 2 ships, and it is waiting for wp 3.1 stable. I think it will be a lot to figure out though. I am just disappointed that a user can only belong to one role. That would make it a lot easier.

user roles and management have always been a topic in most CMS system I have been using, from Drupal to Joomla and now WordPress. It's been a while that they have been working on improving it and their are still working on it and it's much much better than before.
