Authors can't publish posts (3.2.2)

[Anonymous]

Users who have ‘publish_posts’ capability but not ‘edit_others_posts’ are unable to change their own post’s status to ‘Public’. It looks like the edit form is checking for EDIT_CAPABILITY before displaying the status postbox:

if(current_user_can( EDIT_CAPABILITY)) {

<!-- status postbox -->

Changing it to:

if(current_user_can( AUTHOR_CAPABILITY)) {

<!-- status postbox -->

would let an author publish their own events (there may need to be a check if the current user is the event creator or contact person).

You’re right, it should be AUTHOR_CAPABILITY. It has been changed in trunk. The check whether or not the user is the owner/creator of the event is being made when chowing the list of events and when the action is executed, so that should be ok.

Ok, fixed in current version.
