"Require Custom Capabilities?" page broken?

It appears that the free version of s2Member’s custom capabilities meta box doesn’t like more then one custom capability defined, although its says comma delimited format is ok. Can anyone validate this?

Per the API-Scripting documentation, I’m using a User Role Editor plugin (Version 3.5.1 | By Vladimir Garagulya) to create a custom capability prefixed as described, i.e. “access_s2member_ccap_domestic”. When defining a page and using the meta box “Require Custom Capabilities?”, I type in “domestic” (no quotes, prefixing with access_s2member_ccap_ didn’t work). This works fine for one capability. But as soon as I ad another, i.e. “access_s2member_ccap_global” and append to the page’s meta box to read “domestic,global”, it doesn’t work.

Never mind! I get it now. The Metabox’s comma delimited capabilities is using AND logic for access. I just assumed it was OR. The later isn’t as efficient anyways as it just makes more sense to assign users a given capability rather then append it to the page. AND logic ensures proper access levels and favors on protecting content -which is nice. Thanks! Works well.

:-)

So, I just searched the forum as I’m having this problem – so, what is the workaround? How do I format multiple ccaps in this metabox?

Thanks,
Daisy

Hi Daisy,

You would enter multiple ccaps in the metabox comma-delimited, without spaces.

For example: ccap1,ccap2,ccap3

Please see Custom Capabilities for more information.
