Success: Login redirect based on user level

This is how I was able to set which page to redirect users to based on their user level:

I created a s2hacks.php file and put it in wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder.

I dropped the following code in there:

function append_login_variable() {
	
	$vars['login_redirect'] = 'http://www.mysite.com/?login=1';
	
	return $vars;	
}
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_pro_login_widget_options', 'append_login_variable');

function redirect_paid_members() {
	
	global $current_user;
	get_currentuserinfo();
			
	if (is_user_logged_in() && $_GET['login'] == 1 && S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL > 0) {
		wp_redirect('http://www.mysite.com/members/'.$current_user->user_login.'/listings/', 301);
		exit;
	}
}
add_action('wp_loaded', 'redirect_paid_members');

This works well. Does anyone see any security risks using this approach?

Thanks.

I didn’t notice a security problem there, but I’m not an expert in that. What I did see is that I’d probably simplify it. You can use the Login Welcome Page redirection URL, with a var in the querystring so you can pick it up in your hack checking the $_GET array, and wp_redirect to the page you want based on his level.

So the Login Welcome Page redirection URL could be http://www.mysite.com/members/?login [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page -> Redirection URL[/hilite], and the hack something like:

[hilite pre_code]
0) {
wp_redirect('http://www.mysite.com/members/'.S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN.'/listings/', 301);
exit;
}
}
[/hilite]

I don’t know where you want to redirect Level 0 users, in the above example they’d go to /members/, while higher level members would be redirected to their own listings as in your code.

Anyway, that’s just an example, I hope it helps. :)
