File protection – levels with ccaps

Hi Everyone.

I wonder is it possible to use ccaps with levels like this:

/s2member-files/access-s2member-level2/test.txt
/s2member-files/access-s2member-level2/access-s2member-ccap-man/test.txt
/s2member-files/access-s2member-level2/access-s2member-ccap-woman/test.txt

It works but I need to be sure.

This doesn’t: (checks only man ccap)

/s2member-files/access-s2member-level2/access-s2member-ccap-man/access-s2member-ccap-music/test.txt

Plus, I don’t even know why it works at all: (files-in.inc.php, line 130)

if(preg_match("/(?:^|\/)access[_\-]s2member[_\-]level([0-9]+)\//", $req["file_download"], $m) && strlen($req_level = $m[1]) && (!is_object($user) || empty($user->ID) || !$user->has_cap("access_s2member_level".$req_level)))
{
	if /* We only need this section when/if we're actually serving. */($serving)
		c_ws_plugin__s2member_mo_page::wp_redirect_w_mop_vars /* Configure MOP Vars here. */("file", $req["file_download"], "level", $req_level, $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]).exit();
	/**/
	else /* Else return false. */
		return false;
}
/**/
else if(preg_match("/(?:^|\/)access[_\-]s2member[_\-]ccap[_\-](.+?)\//", $req["file_download"], $m) && strlen($req_ccap = preg_replace("/-/", "_", $m[1])) && (!is_object($user) || empty($user->ID) || !$user->has_cap("access_s2member_ccap_".$req_ccap)))
{
	if /* We only need this section when/if we're actually serving. */($serving)
		c_ws_plugin__s2member_mo_page::wp_redirect_w_mop_vars /* Configure MOP Vars here. */("file", $req["file_download"], "ccap", $req_ccap, $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]).exit();
	/**/
	else /* Else return false. */
		return false;
}

Greetings.

Hi Michael.

Good question. I’m not sure about this, so I sent Jason an email asking him.

Are you trying to do level OR ccap, or level AND ccap protection for the file?

Level and ccap. :)

Thanks for the heads up on this request for support.

This works fine. You CAN nest level/ccap combinations, and s2Member will handle this properly.

/access-s2member-level2/access-s2member-ccap-man/

However, you CANNOT nest more than one Custom Capability. s2Member is not designed to handle this in file downloads. It only looks at one Custom Capability in the path to the file.

Great, that’s what I need. Thanks.
