URI Restriction for BuddyPress profile

I am trying to implement a URI restriction for BuddyPress profiles. I have tried /members/ but that restricts too much. I have tried /profile/ but that restricts too little. I want the Goldilocks option: show the list of members but not individual profile content.

Looking at the URL for the view I want to restrict the URI fragment would be, in effect, /members/username of displayed profile/. I have tried replacement codes like %%displayed_user_login%% but that does not work. Is there any way to do this?

I think I have found a way to do this! But it involves a hack:

I have created my own custom Replacement Code %%displayed_username%% and added it in wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes/ruris.inc.php:

$uris = (strlen ($displayed_username)) ? preg_replace ("/%%displayed_username%%/i", c_ws_plugin__s2member_utils_strings::esc_ds ($displayed_username), $uris) : $uris;

I extracted the value for $displayed_username from the URL of the page using $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].

$displayed_username = str_replace("/members/", "", $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI);
$slash = strpos($displayed_username, "/");
$displayed_username = substr_replace($displayed_username, "", $slash);

There must be a neater way to do this, eg using preg_match() but I spent ages trying with no luck!

Ah, I’m glad you could solve it. So it’s working for you now?

A preg_replace would have been better than the preg_match. You could also explode with the slashes and then put it back together.

Yes, it does seem to work. Anyone can view /members/ but only chosen levels can view /members/username of displayed profile/.

I have put the edited contents of ruris.inc.php into /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php so it will not be overwritten when s2Member is updated.

Cool. :)

OK .. i solved it my self .. I have one more query .. i need to redirect 0level users to upgrade membership page when they click on the any member on Member list ..

Can you help me on this

Hi Bob.

You’d have to find a string that matches the user profile URLs and add it to the URI restriction for Level 1.

Bob

Confusingly the second bit of code should go before the first in order to set the value for $displayed_username (eg line 101 in my version of ruris.inc.php).

I have then put /members/%%displayed_username%%/ in the box for “URIs That Require Level #0 Or Higher:” in s2Member>Restriction Options>URI Restrictions.

This means when someone clicks a Member in the Member list they are redirected to the upgrade page.
