Minor fixes for older wordpress and hasty configurers

Hi Anmari!

This is a quite must have plugin, because of the built in User management in WP 2.9 is unfortunately poor. neither filter nor sorting..etc…I’m only using that new version no knowledge about the earlier ones).

First of all VERY MUCH thank you for developing this very clever helper application bridging this gap!
—-
I was looking for a plugin with which I can filter my users by their roles or at least I can sort them by Role, since I’ve planned a blog-site with multi-editor/author capabilities. I’ve found with your plugin much of very useful possibilities improving the user management (those I’m going to use), but unfortunately I couldn’t chose the Role in the list. -

Could you somehow improve your plugin allowing to choose in any list the wp_capabilities meta_key (as I look into the database) it contains the role and also the user’s capabilites which also would useful for listing. (at least for me).

Many thanks for you taking these into consideration in a future release of your GREAT plugin!

Hi anna-marie!

Thanks, for your reply!
Yes, I think from what I speaking of …just you wrote it here

i.e you wrote ” using phpmyadmin at table usermeta – there is no meta key “role” (**). In a default setup The “role” is buried in the tableprefix_capabilities metakey”

yes,
wp=(my table prefix)_capabilities contains a string in which the role is buried. something e.g a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

(**’otherwise I’m using a Role manager plugin, I think this doesn’t not create specific role table or field either, but, write/rewrite the standard table tableprefix_usermeta this meta_key field.)

But, surely because I’ve been a newbie yet in WP, I didn’t perfectly guess yet how to give this column in your plugin, because I didn’t find such column name in the columns lists would be chosen.
Could you give me some help how can I choose this specific column?

Thanks,
iplnts,

Hi – I do not run wpmu, so have no immediate plans to look into how the plugin performs there, unless someone pays me to do that.

The plugin currently looks at the user and uermeta tables, although I may add the option for admin to specify an extra table to check. One would need to know which field in that table the userid maps too and whether it is a meta table (like user meta) or straight table (like the user table).

When you say it does not export the sub blog url list, presumably that data is stored elsewhere in a different table in wpmu. If you can advise where and what the field names are that make the relationship, I may attempt to add it in in the next update.

OK, this plugin supports WPMU also. For sub blog listing “source_domain” works.

Thanks
