I have implemented the code provided by Christian to my theme's functions.php file, as well as built a button only CRED (post edit type) form that ads the users id number to a repeating number field for the post. This button is added to the post to allow users to add it to favorites. Right now I have a series of posts that I have created as the admin, and added a few to "my favorites". I have a view setup that shows the posts I have Favorited. But when I log out and use a pseudo user account, the button to add to favorites disappears because I only allow the post author to edit the post.
The issue is I need to find a way to permit all users (except guests) to edit the repeating number field of the post, but only that field. Is there a way to do this? Can do this without created a child post type with all user permissions?
Sorry, this edit will be done on the front end, on the actual post itself.
This is for a classified listing site, so no users will have admin panel access. The CRED form to edit the field is simply a button only form inserted into the listing. Then theres coding to add the user ID to the repeating number field when the cred form is clicked.
No - there is no such feature exists. You should add your custom programming as per your requirement to build such function as custom programming is beyond the scope of our support policy.
