Restrict all content, except a few pages?

Greetings,

Just went Pro, but I’m a very new S2 user. Right now, I’m trying to restrict assess to everything on my site to Level 1 members. But, I want a few pages to be open to non-registered views. So, people accessing the site for the first time can checkout the “Getting Starting”, “Sample”, and a few other pages.

This seems simple, but within the restrictions settings, I see I can say “all”, to level 1, but there’s no option to open up content to non-registered users on a per-page basis?

Sorry if this is something I’m overlooking, I searched the forum and didn’t find the answer I was looking for.

Hi Luke.

This is not possible in s2Member yet, but it’s in our feature requests list and we plan to implement it in the future.

You could try creating a customization with a hack that checks if the page’s ID is one of those you want to whitelist and, if so, let the user access it. Try using the [hilite mono]wp_loaded[/hilite] hook [hilite mono]get_the_ID[/hilite] function.

I hope that helps. :)

Hum, I’m definitely not a coder! So the alternative solution right now is to manually add all the page ID’s that I want block? I can do some URI blocking too I think.

In terms of feature implementation, is love to be able to select “open access” or something from the S2 dropdown on the page edit screen. I’m down with manually entering non-blocked page ID’s though.

Any ETA on this?

Cool. Yeah, that’d be best then.

You can use URI restrictions for some bulk protection, as well as tag and category restrictions. Then leave out of those the ones you want publicly accessible.

Any ETA on this?

No, none yet.
