Gigaom Roles

Utility plugin to allow filterable definition of custom roles and their capabilities.

<p>A plugin that adds “Add”, “Save”, “Restore” and “Delete” buttons to the Widgets configuration page with the following<br />
functionality:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add: Adds a new named widget layout and saves the current widget layout against the new layout name.</li>
<li>Save: Saves the current widget layout against the selected layout name.</li>
<li>Restore: Restores the previously saved widget layout. If the theme name shown next to the layout name in the<br />
drop-down matches the current theme, widgets will be restored to the sidebar they were located in when the layout was<br />
saved.</li>
<li>Delete: Deletes the selected widget layout – does not modify the current layout of the widgets.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that the behaviour has changed from version 1 – widget layouts are not automatically restored when themes are<br />
switched. Layout choice is now a manual step since it is possible to save multiple widget layouts for a given theme.<br />
Once a theme has been activated, use the “Layouts” drop-down to select a previously saved layout that matches the<br />
current theme.</p>
<p>The reset button has been removed as it was too easy to remove all widgets with one click.</p>
<h4>Typical Usage</h4>
<p>This plugin is useful for trying different widget layouts, making it easy to revert back to a previous layout if the<br />
current layout is not working. It can also be useful when switching between themes. Different themes will offer different<br />
sidebar areas, and often there is not a direct mapping from one theme’s sidebars to another. This plugin can be used<br />
to save a widget layout for each theme. When the themes are switched, the appropriate widget layout can then be restored<br />
saving the time it usually takes to drag each widget from an inactive sidebar into the correct sidebar.</p>
<p>A typical process would be as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Type your own layout name into the text field, and click “Add” to add and save the current widget layout. This name<br />
is now available in the “Layouts” drop-down.</li>
<li>Rearrange the widgets, move them to different sidebars, or move them into the inactive widgets box.</li>
<li>Type a new layout name, and click “Add” to add a second widget layout.</li>
<li>Select the layout name you created in step 1 from the drop-down, and click “Restore”. Your widgets will be<br />
repositioned to match this layout.</li>
<li>Select your layout name from step 3, and click “Restore”. Your widgets will now be repositioned to match your<br />
second layout.</li>
</ol>


Widget Saver

Saves the current widget layout and allows the layout to be restored at a later date.
