Use custom labels for for meta-box

Hello,
How can I rename the levels labels in the meta-box when creating a new post/page in the admin?

My clients is confused by the level number “Require level N” / “Require Highest Level”

I found out that the file to change is probably meta-box-security.inc.php, but I’m not sure how to proceed.

Also it would be great if I could use a hack instead, so that the change would be not overwritten when updating the plugin.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your inquiry.

I’m sorry but there is no s2Member hook/filter for this yet. You are correct about having found the right file to modify however. Modifying the code in that file would achieve that for you. Unfortunately, those changes would be wiped out during a future upgrade of the software.

Related to this, is a feature that can help you in other areas of the Dashboard. This will not change those labels in the drop-down menu, but it is related, so I’ll post it here anyway, just in case it helps someone.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for the response, and for your help.

Ok, no problem, I’m willing to save the file and re apply the changes when it’s time to update :)
I would really appreciate if you could help me figuring this out, (if it is not too complicated)

I changed the default line with:

echo '<option value="">Free to Everyone</option>'."\n"; /* By default, we allow public access to any Post/Page. */

and that’s the easy part…

But what about the dynamic levels? How can I get the names instead of the numbers?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the follow-up :-)

You can access this via PHP using the s2Member global options array.

Thanks again for helping me on this.

I still have an issue, now I have duplicated levels (for the same level value), because this part of the code is still getting the dynamic levels.

for($n = 0; $n <= $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["c"]["levels"]; $n++)
													echo ($pages[$n] !== array("all")) ? /* Protecting `all` Pages, of any kind? */
													((!in_array("all-pages", $posts[$n])) /* Protecting Posts of type: `page` ( i.e. `all-pages` )? */
													? '<option value="'.$n.'"'.((in_array($page_id, $pages[$n])) ? ' selected="selected"' : '').'>'.(($n === $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["c"]["levels"]) ? 'Require Highest Level #'.$n : 'Require Level #'.$n.' ( or higher )').'</option>'."\n"/**/
													: '<option value="" disabled="disabled">Level #'.$n.' ( already protects "all" Posts of this type )</option>'."\n")/**/
													: '<option value="" disabled="disabled">Level #'.$n.' ( already protects "all" Pages )</option>'."\n";
												/**/

Any fix for this?

Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks for the follow-up :-)

I’m not sure what you mean by “duplicate”, sorry. Please feel free to elaborate so that I understand better.

I would suggest something like this…

for($n = 0; $n <= $GLOBALS&#91;"WS_PLUGIN__"&#93;&#91;"s2member"&#93;&#91;"c"&#93;&#91;"levels"&#93;; $n++)
	echo ($pages&#91;$n&#93; !== array("all")) ? /* Protecting `all` Pages, of any kind? */
	((!in_array("all-pages", $posts&#91;$n&#93;)) /* Protecting Posts of type: `page` ( i.e. `all-pages` )? */
	? '<option value="'.$n.'"'.((in_array($page_id, $pages&#91;$n&#93;)) ? ' selected="selected"' : '').'>'.(($n === $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["c"]["levels"]) ? 'Require '.$GLOBALS['WS_PLUGIN__']['s2member']['o']['level'.$n.'_label'] : 'Require '.$GLOBALS['WS_PLUGIN__']['s2member']['o']['level'.$n.'_label'].' ( or higher )').'</option>'."\n"/**/
	: '<option value="" disabled="disabled">Level #'.$n.' ( already protects "all" Posts of this type )</option>'."\n")/**/
	: '<option value="" disabled="disabled">Level #'.$n.' ( already protects "all" Pages )</option>'."\n";

That’s about as far as I can go on custom coding. I’ll be happy to provide you with more leads on where to find certain things, or to share ideas with you, but I can’t debug any custom code that you write. Please see: s2Member® » Support Policy » Within Scope for some clarification on this. Thanks!

Hey Jason,

Well, it perfectly works now!! That’s exactly what I needed.

Now the Admin box, shows the name of my custom levels.

Thanks again for your help!!
