URI Restricitons Needing Replacement Code

I am trying to restrict non paying members from viewing the galleries of other members but allow the viewing of the logged in users gallery. In the URI restrictions that require level #1 I have:

gallery/

What I need is something like:

%%username_not_logged_in%%/gallery/

The replacement code would be the username created in registration for the member that is not the logged in member. This allowing access to the gallery for the logged in user if at level #0.

Is there replacement code for this or is there a hack I can put in the s2member hack file?

Thank you for your inquiry.

The replacement code would be the username created in registration for the member that is not the logged in member. This allowing access to the gallery for the logged in user if at level #0.

s2Member provides many replacement codes, which you can see with the link here:

However, assuming that this is the only place that contains the URI segment /gallery/, you should be able to just put this segment into your URIs That Require Level #0 Or Higher section, and that would be just fine. s2Member would block access from non-logged-in Users to any User’s gallery. Would that work for you?

What Im trying to do is the exact opposite of the replacement codes. All of the replacement codes are based on the current user that is logged in. I want to do the opposite of that and base the replacement code on every member except the current user logged in.

This way if I am logged in I can access: /member/MY-USERNAME/gallery/

However I will be redirected when I try: /member/OTHER-USERNAME/gallery/

So what I need is: %%OTHER-USERNAME%%/gallery/ as the replacement code or hack to accomplish that.

All of the restrict URI fields are based on restrictions and do not take into account any exceptions which would be useful with my current need. However that is not available to my knowledge so the opposite needs to be accomplished.

Thanks for your patience.

I see. Well unfortunately this isn’t possible. I imagine the only way to accomplish this would be to have a developer set up something with s2Member’s Advanced PHP Conditionals. I’d recommend writing into the BuddyPress forums and asking if there is a way to find out if a User is on another User’s Profile Page in PHP.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals

This is the forums. And this is the kind of answer Im looking for. Of course it is possible, Im just trying to find out how.

He’s talking about the BuddyPress forum, this is the s2Member forum:
