   Just a note – yes I realize that the word Public is spelled wrong in the second screen shot. =)

   I love the plugin. I have searched far and wide…and posted everywhere to find a plugin that somehow interacts with the dashboard menus. I like the links.

   I know a lot of people who would like to see a way to customize those menus or even leave a simple text message for all users to read.

   Your plugin definitely has great posibilities. Nice coding job.

   Is there a way to modify your plugin to display a message as well as links?

   Thank you for this plugin. I have been looking all over for this. I have several blogs and wanted a quick and easy way to go from one blog to another and this works great.

   Hi!

   Install plugin, and can’t understand — as admin i see all dashboard links. But subskriber can’t see any thing. How i can make links for subskriber?

   Sergey:
   By design this is the way the plug-in is supposed to work; only showing the dashboard links to administrators who are logged in.

   Doesn’t work for me. I add a link and it shows on my links widget when not logged in as well as on the dash board when I am logged in

   Ben: What version of WordPress are you using?

   Hello Josh,

   It seems this plugin behaves slightly different than intended on (at least) WP 2.9.1 and 2.9.2; the box / widget / window (I’m unsure about the vocabulary here) with links is shown to both admins and subscribers. A quick
   “if ( !current_user_can ( ‘level_10′ ) ) { return; }” at the beginning of jc_dbl_f_DashboardDisplay() will at least empty the box, but it would of course be nicer to have it completely hidden.
   Do you intend to ever upgrade / fix this? I’ve never done any WP plugin coding, so I’m unsure if I could get it fixed myself.

   Very nice plugin, thank you!
   Rob

   Rob: Yes and thank you for pointing it out. I’ll release an update within a few days!

    Hey works great in 3.0.1!

    My only request would be an option to display (or not) the link description under the link itself

    Thanks for your work!
