Some time ago me and a friend developed Oidua, a program to make an inventory of your music collection. I just learned that about a year ago some guy made a fork called Dnuos and added AAC support, improved LAME profile recognition and put in some other niceness.

Description

Category Exclusion lets you exclude categories depending on user role and view.

Each category is assigned a set of properties that lets you control in what places and from whom it should be excluded. Here is a list of describing the properties:

• Treshold controls which users have access to a post. A post is invisible to the user if it belongs to a category with a higher treshold than the user’s role.
• Home controls which posts are shown on the main page. Posts belonging to a category with the home property disabled never show up on the main page.
• Archive controls which posts are shown in the archives – the category archives are not affected by this property. Posts belonging to a category with the archive property disabled never show up in the archives.
• List controls which categories have a link in the category list (presumably in the sidebar).
• Search controls which posts are available for search. Posts belonging to a category with the search property disabled never show up in search results.

• Feed controls which posts are show up on in syndication feeds. Posts belonging to a category with the feed property disabled never show up in syndication feeds.

  NOTE: The permissions mechanism in WordPress 2.0 is not a pure role system but a role/level hybrid. For instance all default roles are subsets of eachother. I utilize this fact in order to simplify the plugin.

  History

  Category Exclusion is a fork of Ryan Poe’s no longer maintained Elegant Category (In)Visibility.

  Changelog:
  2006-01-15, Version 0.2

• Compatible with PHP 4.1.1 (not tested with earlier versions)

  2006-01-11, Version 0.1

• added a treshold restriction I borrowed from Keith McDuffee’s Category Visibility
• hiding of links from the category list (in the sidebar), either explicitly with the “list” property, or implicitly by the “treshold” restriction

• “author” and “date” properties are combined into the new “archive” property

  Known problems

• Previous and next links in the single post view are note filtered. This is not yet allowed by WordPress.

• This plugin may cause dead links to chronological archives if all posts have too high tresholds for the user. Fixing this requires new hooks in WordPress.

  Download

  Category Exclusion 0.2 (for WordPress 2.0)

I made a number of improvements to Keith McDuffee’s Category Visibility WordPress plugin version 0.31.

My changes include a security fix, performance boost and several bug fixes.

Download

Category Visibility 0.31-mp2.0 (requires WordPress 1.5.2)

ChangeLog

From 0.31-mp1.1 to 0.31-mp2.0:

• Makes at most 1 extra database query per page display – compared to the original 0.31 which can realistically make over a hundred

• More efficient filtering of the category list

  From 0.31-mp1 to 0.31-mp1.1:

• Fixed an SQL syntax error

  From 0.31 to 0.31-mp1:

• Big reduction in number of database queries
• Filter feeds for user levels
• Make frontpage display the last 10 visible posts
• Filter single view properly
• Make archive flag not affect category view
• Make new categories visible to all by default
• Distinguish between level 0 users and anonymous users
• Don’t hide Pages by mistake

• Doesn’t break categories not visible on front page

  Other patches

  I also made some patches that depend on changes to WordPress itself. These are not merged in the darcs repository.

  Make next/previous links refer to visible posts

  When you click a link to an post not visible to you, you end up at the 404 page. This renders the get_next_post() and get_previous_post() almost useless. To fix this I planted posts_join and posts_where hooks in those function, letting them take advantage of the “visible10” patch above.

  template_functions_links_1.5.1.2_mp001_hookup.patch (Ticket #1442)

  Don’t link to archives without visible posts

  Here is a pair of patches for filtering the chronological archives links through the Category Visibility plugin. This change removes the effectively dead links to chronological archives for which you don’t have access to any of the posts.

  A prerequisit for this to work is that get_archives() has to have filter hooks for archive_join and archive_where. It also builds heavily on my previous patches, none of which has been incorporated into official CV as of now.

  category_visibility_0.31_mp006_archive_links.patch
  template_functions_general_1.5.1.2_mp001_hookup2.patch (Ticket 1368)

  403 Access Forbidden page

  It’s only sensible that when Category Visibility denies you access from a page, you should be shown an HTTP 403 Access Forbidden error message. So I implemented that. Unfortunately WordPress does not support 403 pages, so I had to make patches for that too.
