Custom Capabilities as OR?

I want to use Custom Capabilities (CCs) to protect a WP page.

My understanding of how CCs work is that when you list them in the CCs box on a WP page,
a visiting member must have ALL of the CCs in order to view the page. So, in the image
above, the visiting user must have both the “bigfun” and “dancecard” CCs in order to
access the page.

My question: is there any way to have an “OR” situation with CCs? So, if the user
has any of the listed CCs, they get access (instead of the default of having to have ALL the CCs listed)?

Hi Jason.

You can do it, but not from there. You’d need to use conditionals in the body of the post/page. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks. Yes, I’m aware of that. I was hoping that I could do it (much more elegantly) from the box in the image abvoe. Maybe instead of putting “bigfun,dancecard” I could put “bigfun|dancecard” to mean “bigfun” OR “dancecard”.

Oh well.

Ah, got ya. No, the box for now just does AND.

I’ll check with Jason if there’s a way to hack this.

Just heard back from Jason:

No, there’s no hack for this, because it has a far reaching impact on other areas of the code, including alternative views. The only way to accomplish an OR logic for ccaps, is to implement your own conditionals.
