Hi,
I am new to geodirectory. I just want one thing, letting subscribers to add, edit and delete places.
I have done the following:
1. Added $capabilites array to $place-default which I suppose is the argument to register_post_type
2. Changed capability_type to ‘place’ in the same $place_default
3. Added filter to map_meta_cap as a function “places_map_meta_cap”Here is the code demonstrating the same. //capabilities array $capabilities = array( 'publish_posts' => 'publish_places', 'edit_posts' => 'edit_places', 'edit_others_posts' => 'edit_others_places', 'delete_posts' => 'delete_places', 'delete_others_posts' => 'delete_others_places', 'read_private_posts' => 'read_private_places', 'edit_post' => 'edit_place', 'delete_post' => 'delete_place', 'read_post' => 'read_place' ); //I think $place_default is the argument to register_post_type() so I added $capabilities array to it and changed capability_type to 'place' $place_default = array( 'labels' => $labels, 'can_export' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'description' => 'Place post type.', 'has_archive' => $listing_slug, 'hierarchical' => false, 'map_meta_cap' => true, 'menu_icon' => $menu_icon, 'public' => true, 'capability_type' => 'place', 'capabilities' => $capabilities, 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => array('slug' => $listing_slug , 'with_front' => false, 'hierarchical' => true, 'feeds' => true), 'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields', 'comments', /*'revisions', 'post-formats'*/), 'taxonomies' => array('gd_placecategory', 'gd_place_tags'));
After adding $capabilities array and changing capability type I added a filter to map_meta_cap by adding a function called “places_map_meta_cap”
Here is the code of the same:
/* MAP META CAPABILITIES */ add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'places_map_meta_cap', 10, 4 ); function places_map_meta_cap( $caps, $cap, $user_id, $args ) { if ( 'edit_place' == $cap || 'delete_place' == $cap || 'read_place' == $cap ) { $post = get_post( $args[0] ); $post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type ); $caps = array(); } if ( 'edit_place' == $cap ) { if ( $user_id == $post->post_author ) $caps[] = $post_type->cap->edit_posts; else $caps[] = $post_type->cap->edit_others_posts; } elseif ( 'delete_place' == $cap ) { if ( $user_id == $post->post_author ) $caps[] = $post_type->cap->delete_posts; else $caps[] = $post_type->cap->delete_others_posts; } elseif ( 'read_place' == $cap ) { if ( 'private' != $post->post_status ) $caps[] = 'read'; elseif ( $user_id == $post->post_author ) $caps[] = 'read'; else $caps[] = $post_type->cap->read_private_posts; } return $caps; }
I had followed this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8198038/wordpress-capabilities-for-custom-post-types
to do this and I think the procedure and execution is perfect but when I checked in user-role-editor plugin none capabilities were displayed I wonder why. Please please help me in this.

GeoDirectory allows subscribers to add/edit/delete listings out of the box.
No code is needed to do that, unless I misunderstood your question, in that case let me know exactly what you are trying to do.
Thanks
