Separate products instead of sequential?

I have a site that I’m trying to create 4 separate products for, instead of sequential levels. In other words, a purchaser of product A does not have access to product C, and product D buyer doesn’t have access to product B, etc.

As far as I can tell, S2 does levels sequentially instead of separately — but is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Yep!

Just wrap your content (products) with one of these tags and only that level membership can access it.

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level4)]
    Some premium content for Level 4 Members.
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level3)]
    Some premium content for Level 3 Members.
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level2)]
    Some premium content for Level 2 Members.
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1)]
    Some premium content for Level 1 Members.
[/s2If]

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level0)]
    Some content for Free Subscribers.
[/s2If]

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]
    Some public content.
[/s2If]

I think you could also do this using custom capabilities and just one actual user level. Just create registration forms for the following level / custom capabilities.

Level 1 – CC: Product1
Level 1 – CC: Product2
etc.

You may need to also make CC purchase buttons if you want them to “upgrade” in the future.

Then for each page / post that is only for product 1 you add the custom capability Product1 and only those Level 1 members who have Product1 cc will be able to view it.

It’s more about preference in how you want to display content, etc.

Hope that helps,

thanks david, appreciate the assist — which file does that code go into?

Those are short codes, so you can use them to wrap any content in any of your posts or pages.

So, you would just put them inside your actual post or page content with the content inside… for example:

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1)]
    Some premium content for Level 1 Members. blah blah blah
[/s2If]
[s2If !current_user_is(s2member_level1)]
    Everyone else see's this. click here to get this premium content... blah blah blah
[/s2If]

EDIT: Check out this part of your s2member install for more options and ideas: s2member -> API / Scripting -> Simple / Shortcode Conditionals

Hope that helps,

Dave

it does, thank you.

Is there a way to do it without shortcodes, using categories or tag protection instead?

OK, I found that coding under the conditionals section that explains things. I think I understand it now it just took reading it like 10 times to get it.

Yeah, at first they may be odd, but once you get the hang of conditionals, you can do cool things. :)
