More tag issue

Can I have the non-member read article and when they click on the more tag it prompts them to subscribe?

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

Yes, this is s2Member’s default behavior, you can alter this behavior under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection.

Hope this helps. :)

Sorry it doesn’t work… when I have restriction on an article set to any level basically it goes straight to subscription page without showing the article… on the home page all articles are show as a post summary and when you click on a title it goes straight to subscription page… I would like to click on then show the article up to the more tag as a teaser and if they click on the more link it and they are not logged in it goes directly to the subscription page.

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

Sorry for the misunderstanding, s2Member works like this by default actually, I think I confused myself above.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi again do I need to set the post to a certain level of security…

http://beta.inroadsjournal.ca/

if you click on any post it goes straight to a subscribe only page… please advise.. what am I doing wrong to get this behavior?

Thanks!

I was forced to use:

… teaser content…

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]

… subscriber content …

[/s2If][s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_level1)]
(more…)[/s2If]

I was gonna offer using conditionals, although I recommend you do it the following way:

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]
	[...] Teaser content [...]
	<!--more-->
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
	[...] Subscriber content [...]
[/s2If]

Hope this helps. :)

I thought the tag did exactly that…

Thank you for the code but I would rather just use the stand tag… is this possible?

Not sure what you mean with stand tag? You mean the read more tag?

Sorry I meant standard tag… what you describe to be a default behavior when you click on the more tag as a non-member to go to subscribe page is not happening. Instead it doesn even let you see the post at all it just goes straight to subscription page.

I set the post to have a level 1 restriction also tried level 0… nothing works

Oh, yes that is the default behavior if, you don’t use one of the alternative restrictions, and if you see the post in a post list, otherwise you directly go to the membership options page.

Of course you can use the conditionals if you want them to be able to open the post. ;)

ok yes I want use conditionals… how I do this?

Filter ALL WordPress® queries; protecting all Alternative Views.
└─ Searches ( hide protected content in search results )
└─ Feeds ( hide protected content in standard XML/RSS/ATOM feeds )
└─ Comment Feeds ( hide comments associated with protected content, in comment feeds )
└─ Nav Menus ( hide protected content in menus generated with WordPress® -> Appearance -> Menus )

nothing about more tag or posts…

You wouldn’t want to check the first and fourth options in that case.

Hope this helps. :)

└─ Searches ( hide protected content in search results )
x└─ Feeds ( hide protected content in standard XML/RSS/ATOM feeds )
x└─ Comment Feeds ( hide comments associated with protected content, in comment feeds )
└─ Nav Menus ( hide protected content in menus generated with WordPress® -> Appearance -> Menus )

I have none of them checked off you mean I should check off 2 and 3 to allow non members to read a protected document? this doesn’t sound very intuitive… what I need to do exactly, confused.

Thanks!

What I mean is, is the following, x means that you should protect it:
└─ Searches ( hide protected content in search results )
x└─ Feeds ( hide protected content in standard XML/RSS/ATOM feeds )
└─ Comment Feeds ( hide comments associated with protected content, in comment feeds )
x└─ Nav Menus ( hide protected content in menus generated with WordPress® -> Appearance -> Menus )

Sorry I said fourth instead of third. :P

This way users would see the teaser content if they see it in a search, and if they click it, they would also be able to see the spoiler that way. I suggest you don’t protect the posts and depend on the conditionals.

Hope this helps. :)

Noe didn’t work…

when you click on this
http://beta.inroadsjournal.ca/the-jacobson-question/

you read the whole article… and when you click on more it show all the article doesn’t go the subscribe page.

I removed the restrictions and set the Alternative Views exactly as you described.

OK, here’s what you should do in that page in order for it to work correctly if I’m not mistaken.

You could make the more link go to the membership options page, where you will offer the users to pay membership level 1 in order to read that content.

The other thing you can do is make the alternative restrictions like this:
└─ Searches ( hide protected content in search results )
x└─ Feeds ( hide protected content in standard XML/RSS/ATOM feeds )
x└─ Comment Feeds ( hide comments associated with protected content, in comment feeds )
x└─ Nav Menus ( hide protected content in menus generated with WordPress® -> Appearance -> Menus )

The only drawback for this is, users will only be able to use the search results in order to see teaser content, this also applies anywhere there is a preview of the post, you would not use conditionals for this.

---

These are the only ways I can think to do this…

So what you’re saying is that the tag doesn’t work using the S2Member the way I described it.

I am referring to the tag. I rather not use S2 script conditions. Would have been nice for it to work with the stadnard tag supplied in WordPress.

Well I believe it does work like you said, the second method I mean, but it would have that drawback I mentioned. :/

yes but I don’t want to be restricted to search only… what if someone clicks on a post title… why does it go straight to subscribe page?

Then you would have to use the conditionals…

Really it’s whichever has more things that you want.

Too bad you guys couldn’t integrate his logic with the tag alone seems to me that would be a nice additional feature to offer.

if I am forced to use this code… I think it’s not exactly right since the more comes after the teaser content.

suggested code:

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]

[…] Teaser content […]

<!–more–>

[/s2If] [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]

[…] Subscriber content […]

[/s2If]

corrected code:

[…] Teaser content […]

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]

<!–more–>

[…] Subscriber content […]

[/s2If] [s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_level1)]

<br /> <a href="/subscribe/">(more…)</a>

[/s2If]
