Hook or Filter for Specific Post Restriction

Hi,

I want to add a conditional to test if something is true and then display a post regardless of the “specific post conditions” already set. For example, if $x=123 then ignore specific post restrictions and display post – don’t redirect to Options Page.

I think I need to modify or filter this …
ws_plugin__s2member_before_check_specific_post_level_access

I’ve set up mu-plugins/s2-hack.php and have the following template but I don’t know how to structure the hook or filter.

<?php
add_filter("filter_name", "my_filtering_function");
function my_filtering_function($original_value, $vars = array())
	{
		if($original_value !== "something I like")
			return ($my_custom_value = "My Filter works.");
 
		else # Return original value.
			return $original_value;
 
		# Optional. s2Member® passes you an array of defined variables.
		# print_r($vars); # Would give you a list of defined variables.
		# These are PHP variables defined within the scope of the Filter,
		# at the precise point in which the Filter is fired by s2Member®.
 
		# $vars["__refs"] are also included (with some Filters).
		# These are internal PHP variable references (very useful).
		# To learn all about references, please see PHP documentation:
		# http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php
	}
?>

Can you please provide an example?

Thanks,
Steinar

I figured it out.

In s2-hack.php I used the following code, which allows certain users to bypass S2Member altogether for any post level restrictions I have in place.

$a= "some variable, like a static IP address";
if ($a = "123")
add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_check_post_level_access_excluded", "__return_true");

Steinar, thank you for posting back with the solution! That’s absolutely correct. :)
