Query Content Level

Hi there, I’m trying to follow along with the scripting examples of conditionals, and maybe I’m overlooking something, but can’t find the answer to what I’m trying to achieve.

I would like to query the permission level of specific posts, and display it in the call-to-action following an excerpt.

For example, say I have a post designated as Level 3, and a Level 1 subscriber attempts to access it.

The structure might look something like:

TITLE
Excerpt […]

***This article is classified as Level 3 content. In order to access this article, please upgrade.***

Obviously I can’t just write Level 3 into the conditionals like this, because it would then be applied to all levels of content, even those of a lower classification; the level will change according to the specific post. So there must be a way to query it.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello Trevor,

You would use simple conditionals for this, you can find an article about conditionals here:
Knowledge Base » s2Member® Conditionals

Pretty sure it also tells you how to make it level specific. It would be:

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1)]
    Content exclusively for members level 1. Maybe something saying "Upgrade now!".
[/s2If]

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks Eduan. But that’s not quite what I meant. Your example returns a specific string based on the user’s subscription level. For the purpose of the string, I need to make it relative to the content instead of the user.

Let me paint a scenario.

There are two posts – one classified as Level 2, and one classified as Level 3.

I put this code in to my template for everyone who can access Level 1 or above.

<?php if (current_user_can("access_s2member_level1")){ ?>
    
	This content is classified as Level 3.
	
	<?php } else { ?>

    Some public content.
<?php } ?> 

This would also be applied to the Level 2 post, telling people it’s classified as Level 3. Which is wrong. Therefore there needs to be some mechanism that dynamically grabs which level the content is (kind of like a “mail merge field”), something like this (somehow):

<?php if (current_user_can("access_s2member_level1")){ ?>
    
	This content is classified as <<POST LEVEL>>.
	
	<?php } else { ?>

    Some public content.
<?php } ?> 

Any ideas?

Alex’s solution here gets me pretty close to what I need:
