Shortcode for Custom Capabilities

Hello – another newbie question:

I found a 2012 answer to my question in the forum but wonder if things have not changed since then. Here is my question.

Is there a shortcode (or ready-made php code) to check whether a member has *any* custom capability associated with them?

For some reason, I thought I found such a shortcode in the documentation but cannot seem to find it now.

Thank you

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Currently there’s no way to check this AFAIK.

I came up with a quick work-around though. Every time you add ccaps (short for custom capabilities) to users always add the same ccap, for example in every button include a ccap ccap.

Then you just need to check if the user has that ccap in order to know if the has any ccaps at all. :)

For example:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_ccap_ccap)]
    Made sure the user has the must-have ccap in order to know if he has any custom capabilities at all. :)
[/s2If]
