grant access via IP / IP-range

Hi!

Is it possile to configure s2members to grant access to paid content via IP / IP-range ?

We need this for some institutional subscribers… :-/
They don’t need a PayPal-Checkout because they pay another way.
They normally have no user name and no password – just IPs

Thank you!

S2member is not really designed to work this way out of the box. It is assuming that the user will be creating an account via wordpress or a thirdparty software in the wp database.

However, you could use simple php conditionals on your pages (or even make your own shortcode to do this) using the s2member constant S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_IP.

Something like this maybe:

<?php
//IP Ranges
$lowest_ip = '100.100.5.0';
$highest_ip = '100.100.5.100';
	if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_IP >= $lowest_ip && S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_IP <= $highest_ip){
		//Show the info
		echo ' ';
	}
	else {
		//Show something else like an error
		echo ' ';
	}
?>

NOTE: if you are adding this to a page, you will need to enable a php execution plugin like this:

Hi !

It’s me again.. ;-)

The topic is beyond my abilities … :-/

Can someone explain exactly how to do it exactly, please?

Goal: user login via usr / pass OR IP / IP range …
Maintenance of IP addresses in the user list …
a user can have multiple IP addresses / ranges …

;-)

Thank you very much

… something like: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/force-login-except-special-ip-range/
But it should use the IP addresses and their roles registered in the user db…

Hi!

I found something ‘realy close’ …

It seems to work… the only thing is, that i get a blank page..
I should be able to ‘review’ a list of ip adresses.

PLEASE – can anybody help me out? ;-)
