Display Message when access needed not redire

Hi

I have set up my membership site using Level 1 and custom capabilities and paypal pro.

Is it possible to display a message when a user tries to click an option they do not have the custom capability for saying “You do not currently have access to this page – please see membership options and upgrade page”.

I see lots of mention of conditionals but none using custom capabilities.

Thanks

Simon

Hello Simon,

Is it possible to display a message when a user tries to click an option they do not have the custom capability for saying “You do not currently have access to this page – please see membership options and upgrade page”.

Well, there isn’t actually that, you could probably pull it off with some JavaScript that only appears when the user doesn’t have access to it (so it doesn’t check if the user has access, it already knows and acts accordingly).

However the membership options page could also provide this I feel, however not as a popup, but as a redirect.

I see lots of mention of conditionals but none using custom capabilities.

Yes you can have conditionals based on custom capabilities:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_free_gift)]
    Display free gift here. This Member has access to a Custom Capability that supplies a free gift.
[/s2If]

Or in PHP instead of shortcodes:

<?php if(current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_free_gift")){ ?>
    Also display free gift here. This is a Custom Capability check, using a nested Conditional.
<?php } ?>
