Restrict bbPress forums based on date

Hi guys,

I need to restric access to forum pages (forum, theme, thread, reply) based on user’s registration date for a weekly course.

I’ve found this thread: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/a-few-questions-before-i-buy-the-pro-version/#post-13113 to be very useful but still not quite what I need.

My forum structure is like this:

Forums > Course > Week X > Threads for Week X

“Course” is a category Forum (only contains forums, not threads), and “Week X” is a regular forum (contains all threads for Week X an their corresponding replies).

I need any thread/reply belonging to the forum Week X to be only accesible for users whose registration date is at leas equal to X weeks, so users registered one week ago have access only to forums from Week 1, users registered three weeks ago have access to forums from weeks 1, 2 and 3, and so on.

The code in the topic I referred to is built around ccaps/levels and restricts access based on the oldest parent, not exactly what I need.

Could you please help? (I’ll be happy to pay someone to customize this code for me, I just don’t know anyone to do it)

Thank you for your inquiry.

We can’t debug custom code, but I’d say the portion of this code you’re looking to edit is this line:

if (!is_page_permitted_by_s2member($int)) { // this is an s2member function. Check if the current user can access the $first_parent, via the stored page/post ID in the $int variable

You should need to replace the call to is_page_permitted_by_s2member() with something from this section of the docs:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Content Dripping
