Add custom capability tags

I am looking for an easy way to add a custom capability tag for my members. Is there a way to create a form that is submitted and a custom capability tag is added to their account? I know this can be done with a paid form easily, but I want to do it with a Free form.

Even just a link that they could click on and s2member would add it to their account would be great.

Hello,

All of the Pro-Forms, including the Free Registration form (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms) can be configured to add Custom Capabilities to someone’s account.

To upgrade existing members (including free members) and add/remove their Custom Capabilities, you can use the Billing Modification form (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms). If you want to sell individual Custom Capabilities and have them added to an existing member’s account, you can use the Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Capability (Buy Now) Forms.

However, if you want to add Custom Capabilities to a Free Member’s account without charging them (i.e., they remain a free member), you’ll need to write your own PHP code for that. This thread explains how that’s done with PHP.

I would like to be able to create a shortcode that would enable me to add or remove a ccap by clicking a link. The shortcode would also contain values to customize the link, the link image or text, width and height of image and description.

I figure this would have to be done in the functions.php file. Would anyone know how to do this? This one feature would enhance S2member in a huge way and enable full customization over the flow of information a website.

This article may help you with that: Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP :)

I am Not looking to change the ccap of all members. I just want a ccap to be added or taken away when a single member clicks on a link. I am not sure how I would use a link with what you have referenced or how I would do this.

You’d link to a page with the PHP that adds/removes the ccap for that user. The article explains what PHP to use, you then need to create the script that uses it.

I hope that helps. :)

If you don’t know PHP enough to do that, you may want to get help from a freelancer.

add_cap(“access_s2member_ccap_f4t23”);
$user->remove_cap(“access_s2member_ccap_videos”);
header(‘Location: http://www.domain.com/’,TRUE,303);
?>

The redirect is not working on the page that this is posted.

Part of your code seems to be missing, or changed. Could you post the full script you tried, inside HTML code tags? Thanks! :)

Also, did you try the redirection with just the location, without the additional parameters?

<?php
$user_id = S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ID;
$user = new WP_User($user_id);
$user->add_cap("access_s2member_ccap_f4t23");
$user->remove_cap("access_s2member_ccap_videos");
header('Location: http://www.loveinnerversity.com/);
?>

I have tried it without the additional parameters.

It will add and remove the ccap from the account. I just can’t get it to redirect.

This is posted inside of a wp page. php is enabled which is why the add/remove ccap works. All I need it to do is redirect to the next page.

Ah, if you’re already in the WP page’s content, the headers have already been sent. So you can’t use header to redirect, you’ll need to use JavaScript.

Thank you for the tip, i will check into doing it with javascript code.

Cool. :)
