Post/ page conditionals

We have a newspaper site
Everything above the MORE tag is exposed to the world… no restrictions
User clicks on “Read More” for any Post

I am looking to do the following scenario
If user is logged in and has appropriate access level – user passes through seemlessly to the post

Else

User is presented with some login text that prompts them to login

if user has appropriate access level after logging in – user passes seemlessly to the post
else
user is presented with some message that post is restricted to X membership level and then presented a link to upgrade to that level or return to home page

We dont have lots of levels but want to prompt the user to perform some action instead of just looking at a blank page
I am not interested in doing this on a post by post basis as in using shortcodes.
Is there any instruction on where to do this in the WordPress code or that displays a post

Regards,

Doug

Doug,

I’m just another user, not support staff. But if you look under API / Scripting in your wordpress admin under S2Member, there’s a bunch of PHP code examples in there for restricting pieces directly.

You could use these in templates in your theme. Presuming you want to do that in your news articles, you probably want to do it in single.php if your theme is structured normally.

for example, something like:

<?php if(is_user_logged_in()){ ?>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
	<?php the_content('Log in to read more...'); ?>
<?php } ?>

See this for more:

Thank you for your inquiry.

The first thing you’re going to want to do is make sure you’ve got Alternative View Protection OFF here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Alternative View Protection

When you do this you’ll be relying on your theme to only show content above the MORE tags. After this is done, s2Member’s core functionality should be all you need to protect access to the Post, and tell a User to log in if they attempt to access the Post/Page without necessary access. If you want to get really fancy and give the User information about the specific needs for a particular Post/Page when they are redirected, you can make use of s2Member’s Membership Options Variables.
