Exclude individual pages from level access?

OK, maybe I’m missing something but say I have two pages, page “A” and page “B”. Page “A” is a level 1 page and page “B” is a level 2 page. When a user purchases access to page “A” by default they will have access to page “B” due to the nature of the “or higher” functionality. But, I don’t want that. I want to “remove” the “or higher” function and only allow access to one level excluding the other levels/pages. Is this done by applying a “negative” value in Custom Capabilities to the page, ie, “pagea, -pageb”?

If you want this functionality, then you would not use levels at all, and would only use ccaps (short for custom capabilities). Custom capabilities can’t modify levels, an vice versa, so modifying ccaps won’t affect the user’s level.

Hope this helps. :)

Right, problem is I need to add subscribers to 2 unique email list names and you can only associate separate email list names to levels.

Hi Shawn.

I see, ccaps would not work with the email list integration.

Well, you can avoid the incremental access of levels if you edit them to remove the capabilities that give access to the lower ones.

I hope that helps. :)

Hmm, it seems strange that you can add individual pages with ccaps but can’t use ccaps to remove or exclude/block pages regardless of level. This is definitely an oversight IMHO and posses a serious challenge for anyone using multiple autoresponders.

Yes, it was, and we’re fixing it. :)

The way to use ccaps with MailChimp for now, is adding them as merge fields to segment your list with. http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/s2member-mailchimp-and-ccaps/#post-17078

In AWeber with a rule in the email parser, the ccaps can also added to the user, but I’m not sure what segmentation is possible with that service. Knowledge Base » AWeber email parser for s2Member

I hope that helps!
