Reply To: Problems creating new post with user having category/taxonomy ID restriction

[Biranit Goren]

Hi Vladimir,

I realized later that I actually have a conceptual mistake: if all users get the same term_id set — then all users will be able to edit other users’ posts 🙂

So instead, I am using the user’s user_id as the term, and my functions look as follows:

function rgb_allow_user_posts($post_id, $post, $update) {
	global $pagenow, $wpdb;
	
	if ($pagenow !=='post-new.php') {   // for new added post only
	    return;
	}
	
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	
	$terms_list_str = get_user_meta($user_id, 'wp_ure_categories_list', true);
	if (empty($terms_list_str)) {
	    return;
	}
	
	$restriction_type = get_user_meta($user_id, 'wp_ure_posts_restriction_type', true);
	if ($restriction_type!=1) {   // allow
	    return;
	}
	
	wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, strval($user_id), 'ure', false);
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post', 'rgb_allow_user_posts', 10, 3);

function rgb_add_user_term($user_id) {
	$organizations = get_user_meta($user_id, 'wp_ure_categories_list', true);
	if ($organizations!='' && get_user_meta($user_id, 'wp_ure_posts_restriction_type', true)=='1') {
		$user_term = get_term_by( 'name', $user_id, 'ure');
		$vals = explode(', ', $organizations);
	   	if (!in_array($user_term->term_id, $vals)) {
	   		$organizations = '$user_term->term_id . ', ' . $organizations;
	   		update_user_meta($user_id, 'wp_ure_categories_list', $organizations);
	   	}
	}
}
add_action('profile_update', 'rgb_add_user_term', 99);

Hope this helps…

Thanks,

Bira
