Changing Member Level Number to Level Label

I think I’m starting to understand the basics of how s2member works. I have to say it’s been put together very well.

I’ve been tweaking my member option page and found the following code to display the “Sorry… you need Level X to access it.”

function s2hack_membership_options_vars( $atts ){
 if(isset($_GET['_s2member_seeking'])) # We need to display something
 {
        $s2_seeking = $_GET['_s2member_seeking']; # Content user was trying to access
        $s2_level   = $_GET['_s2member_req'];     # What was needed to access said content]

        if(!empty($s2_seeking['page']))
                $content = 'page';
        elseif (!empty($s2_seeking['post']))
                $content = 'post';
        if(!empty($s2_level['level']))
                $req = 'Level ' . $s2_level['level'];
        else
                $req = 'at least a free subscription';

        return '<strong>Sorry, this ' . $content . ' is restricted. You need ' . $req . ' to access it.</strong>';
 }
 else
        return; # We don't need to do anything, no variables passed.
}
add_shortcode( 'membership_options_vars', 's2hack_membership_options_vars' );

Overall it works very well, but how can I get it to return the “labels” I assigned to each level instead of the actual level number.

I know I have to change the following but I don’t know to how or rather to what.

if(!empty($s2_level['level']))
        $req = 'Level ' . $s2_level['level'];

Thanks

OK I think I got it to work but I’m not 100% about the syntax.

function s2hack_membership_options_vars( $atts ){
 if(isset($_GET['_s2member_seeking'])) # We need to display something
 {
        $s2_seeking = $_GET['_s2member_seeking']; # Content user was trying to access
        $s2_level   = $_GET['_s2member_req'];     # What was needed to access said content]

        if(!empty($s2_seeking['page']))
                $content = 'page';
        elseif (!empty($s2_seeking['post']))
                $content = 'post';
        if(!empty($s2_level['level']))
                $req = $s2_level['level'];
                        if ($req='1')
                           $s2_label = 'a Plus';
                        elseif ($req = '2')
                           $s2_label = 'a Premier';
        else
                $req = 'at least a free ';

        return '<strong>Sorry, this ' . $content . ' is restricted. You need ' . $s2_label . ' subscription  to access it.</strong>';
 }
 else
        return; # We don't need to do anything, no variables passed.
}
add_shortcode( 'membership_options_vars', 's2hack_membership_options_vars' );

Well not quite.

The displayed message “Sorry, this page is restricted. You need a Plus subscription to access it.” appears whether the page’s access level is set to level 1 or level 2.

What am I doing wrong?

OK I think this one did it :)

The modified working code is

function s2hack_membership_options_vars( $atts ){
 if(isset($_GET['_s2member_seeking'])) # We need to display something
 {
        $s2_seeking = $_GET['_s2member_seeking']; # Content user was trying to access
        $s2_level   = $_GET['_s2member_req'];     # What was needed to access said content]

        if(!empty($s2_seeking['page']))
                $content = 'page';
        elseif (!empty($s2_seeking['post']))
                $content = 'post';
        if(!empty($s2_level['level']))
                $req = $s2_level['level'];
                        if ($req=='1')
                           $s2_label='a Plus';
                        elseif ($req=='2')
                           $s2_label='a Premier';
        else
                $s2_label = 'at least a free';

        return '<strong>Sorry, this ' . $content . ' is restricted. You need ' . $s2_label . ' subscription in order to access it.</strong>';
 }
 else
        return; # We don't need to do anything, no variables passed.
}
add_shortcode( 'membership_options_vars', 's2hack_membership_options_vars' );

OK guys, I really need your help now.

The above works for levels but NOT for ccaps assigned to a page or post.

How can I get it to check the member level first, then check if the user has the ccap. If not, then error message should say,

“Sorry, this page is restricted. You need ‘Music’ capability in order to access it”.

Thanks

You could use [hilite mono]$_GET['_s2member_req'][ccap][/hilite]. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)[/hilite]

[hilite pre_code]
if (isset($_GET['_s2member_req'][ccap]))
echo $_GET['_s2member_req'][ccap];
[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Cristian, it helped a lot :)

I’ve started trying to learn PHP and I’m not 100% sure whether this is the “best” syntax (although it does work).

In any case, here is the modified code that checks if a page is restricted by ccaps first, then it checks to see if it is restricted by member level.

function s2hack_membership_options_vars( $atts ){
if(isset($_GET['_s2member_req'][ccap])) {
        $s2_caps = $_GET['_s2member_req'][ccap];

        if(!empty($s2_caps))
                return '<center><img src="/images/oops.gif"><br><strong>Sorry, this page is restricted. You need "' . $s2_caps . '" access to view it.</strong></center>';
 }

else $s2_seeking = $_GET['_s2member_seeking'];
        $s2_level   = $_GET['_s2member_req'];

        if(!empty($s2_seeking['page']))
                $content = 'page';
        elseif (!empty($s2_seeking['post']))
                $content = 'post';
        if(!empty($s2_level['level']))
                $req = $s2_level['level'];
                        if ($req=='1')
                           $s2_label='a Plus';
                        elseif ($req=='2')
                           $s2_label='a Premier';
        else
                $s2_label = 'at least a free';

        return '<center><img src="/images/oops.gif"><br><strong>Sorry, this ' . $content . ' is restricted. You need ' . $s2_label . ' subscription to access it.</strong></center>';
 }
add_shortcode( 'membership_options_vars', 's2hack_membership_options_vars' );

Is this acceptable or could it be written better?

I’m glad it helped! :)

Yeah, it could be written another way, but what matters first is that it works. You have a syntax error, there are no curly brackets around the [hilite mono]else[/hilite] block.

Thanks Cristian,

I’d be interested in knowing how you would have coded it to achieve the same results… it would help a great deal in learning php, WordPress and s2member.

I tried to clean up the code but I keep breaking it. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Maybe something like this? (haven’t tested it)

[hilite pre_code]';
elseif (isset($_GET['_s2member_req']['level'])) {
$label = array('at least a free', 'a Plus', 'a Premier');
$return = (isset($_GET['_s2member_seeking']['post']) ? 'post' : 'page') . ' is restricted. You need ' . $label[$_GET['_s2member_req']['level']] . ' subscription to access it.';
}
return !empty($return) ? '
Sorry, this ' . $return : '';
}
[/hilite]

Could probably be shortened more if you combined the ccap and level return strings, but I didn’t want to edit the strings you had.

Sweet, thanks Cristian. As a newbie, it really helps from a programming point of view.
