Difference between paid member and non paid

Hello,
i have a simple question. I have website where people can pay for the membership (level 3) and then some people just get it because they “deserved” it. So on My Account page i am trying to show some information depending on weather people are paid level 3 member or if they are simple member of the 3rd level and did not pay for it.
is there a conditional tag or a meta data that i can extract from the account that can show the difference?

thanks for your help!

Hi Anton,

I recommend setting up a custom capability for this. Just add a capability like “paid3” to your Pro Form within ccaps=””. You can then use a coditional like this:

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level3) && current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_paid3)]
	This user is a *paid access* level 3 member
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level3) && !current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_paid3)]
	This user is *not* a paid level 3 member, but *is* level 3
[/s2If]

good thinking bruce. will do that!
thanks!

Great. Let us know if you have any issues with that.

is there a conditional tag or a meta data that i can extract from the account that can show the difference?

If the access is the same, I guess you can give both the same level or ccap, instead of mixing them. To differentiate free from paid, you could create a custom profile field hidden from the user, just for you.
