For me both of these <code>current_user_can()</code> check out. [php] function test_caps() { add_role( 'testrole', array( 'read' => true, 'panels' => true ) ); var_dump(current_user_can('panels')); // outputs true var_dump(current_user_can('member')); // outputs true } add_action('init', 'test_caps'); [/php] Note that I'm testing using an admin account. This is strange. For me both of these current_user_can() check out.

function test_caps() {
	add_role( 'testrole', array( 'read' => true, 'panels' => true ) );
	var_dump(current_user_can('panels')); // outputs true
	var_dump(current_user_can('member')); // outputs true
}
add_action('init', 'test_caps');

Note that I’m testing using an admin account.

Nice post and well explained. I have came across a problem and wanted to see if you have encountered the same thing. If I add custom role with capabilities, the function current_user_can() does not work. However if I switch it to check for the role instead, it works. According to the codex, current_user_can function() will accept both the role or the capabilities. So I am not sure what went wrong there. Below is the code in question. add_role('member','Member',array('read' => true, 'panels' => true)); current_user_can('panels'); <----- doesn't work... current_user_can('member'); <-----works.....

But, with code highlighting and tabs, it could be almost as good as my desktop editor (gedit). Good luck with your proposal!

'submit-logout' and 'star-rating' are the action parameters of the request. If you're still stuck, please send me an email with your code (garyc40 [at] garyc40.com), I'll try to help out as soon as I have some time :) You should use add_action() instead of do_action():

add_action( 'wp_ajax_submit-logout', 'my_plugin_submit_logout' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_star-rating', 'my_plugin_star_rating' );

‘my_plugin_submit_logout’ and ‘my_plugin_star_rating’ are 2 functions that handle your request. ‘submit-logout’ and ‘star-rating’ are the action parameters of the request.

I've been programming for well over 15 years, have hundreds of websites and even have my own Wordpress plugin, but one specific part about adding a tinymce button to my plugin had me stumped. I really appreciate the code for the inline form call. It's not 100% what I was looking for, but it certainly solves my problem and gives me something to work from. Thanks again. Very nice tutorial.
