[wp-hackers] wp-hackers Digest, Vol 70, Issue 12

[Muro, Matthew]

The plugin is Restrict Categories:  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-categories/

I have Firebug installed and can see the 'cat' parameter, but what is the PHP/jQuery I need to use to retrieve the value?

By the way, I have not committed the fix for 3.0.1 yet and can send that separately if you really want it.

Thanks,

Matthew Muro

Hi all,

I have a plugin that restricts the categories users can view/edit in the
admin.  All works fine in WordPress 3.0.1, but as I started testing 3.1 I
noticed that the category filter, which is AJAX, allows you to bypass the
restrictions.  I'm able to filter this out in 3.0.1 because it's submitted
via URL parameters.  My trouble is being able to $_GET the 'cat' parameter
from the new AJAX request.

I'm no jQuery expert, so if someone has any ideas on how I can do this I'd
appreciate it.


If you install Firebug, you will find that the 'cat' parameter is passed to
the AJAX request too.

If you need more help, share the link to the plugin.
