Hello,

I am using pixelpost in a community, where users can use their own installation of pixelpost, but I have to admit that I don't fully trust them all... if you know what I mean.

What I want to do is, when I install pixelpost, somehow disable certain admin panel functions like the whole Options section. I was wondering how I would do this.

Also, how to I allow the creation of an about page through the administration panel? Is there a way without having to upload a separate html page?

Thanks

The only way it to comment some part of Pixelpost source code to stop it from execution (i.e. some important SQL UPDATES).
Other way it so write some rules with Apache's mod_rewrite or add some limitation for POST and GET Apache's requests.

There is an addon called About Text. You set up the about_template.html with the appropriate tags, then they can add/edit the page contents in the PP admin panel (addons section).

Here's the link to download this addon:

Save this file with the name admin_about_text.php, then upload it to the addons folder on your server.
