That many users in the author table was certainly something we didn't take into account when we implemented the feature and I appreciate you bringing the issue to our attention. Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-levels-for-authors-re-drop_down-menu#post-3484 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:29:59 +0000 psm9640 3484@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Carl.</p> <p>Just as a footnote, with 60,000 subscribers before the fix, that page ended up being 3.2mb in size. After limiting to just the admin, resulting size was 182kb. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-levels-for-authors-re-drop_down-menu#post-3483 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:26:46 +0000 Carl Hancock 3483@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will look into this, we are actually wrapping up a bug fix release now so we may be able to go ahead and get this change implemented for this release.</p> <p>What we may do is just go ahead and limit the author drop down to just administrators as the default, and then in a future release provide more functionality around this (or have introduce a hook so it can be changed via PHP) to allow it to be configurable. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-levels-for-authors-re-drop_down-menu#post-3481 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:36:49 +0000 psm9640 3481@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey everybody... I ran into an issue recently with a form on a web site. Since we use WordPress to offer subscriber accounts, our wp_users table has &gt; 60,000 entries. The problem is that when you go to edit a form (which accesses form_detail.php), the page either takes 15 minutes to load or you get a jquery error (in FireFox) because there is a dropdown menu . To get around this, I added another variable to the dropdown_users() array on line 508 of form_detail to include just the admin:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php wp_dropdown_users(array(&#39;name&#39; =&gt; &#39;field_post_author&#39;,&#39;include&#39; =&gt; &#39;1&#39;)) ?&gt;</code></p> <p>What would be awesome in the future would be, for those of us who have much larger wp_user tables, either an option to limit these users by permission level or specify certain users only who would show up in this drop-down list. </p>
