Lyceum-users mailing list

["David R. Woolley" <drwool AT thinkofit.com>]

I found that the WordPress plugin "post-restrictions" works fine with 
Lyceum. Although it wasn't absolutely necessary, I did end up 
customizing the plugin somewhat. The user interface for controlling 
access to a post offered a long list of checkboxes -- you could 
restrict access according to every single capability that WordPress 
defines. I wanted to simplify it so the selection could be made based 
on roles, which is a much smaller list. I accomplished that with a 
small hack, which I posted in the plugin author's blog:
