Raam,

Thanks for the response. However, the IF THEN ELSE logic is woefully inefficient.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t S2 pull the user ID ?
Does it not also pull the user’s capabilities and embedded in that response is the page id ?
And isn’t there code that’s already been written to allow for this ?

Can it not be repurposed for exactly what I am talking about ?

You mean to tell me that the vast codex library (http://www.s2member.com/codex/) doesn’t contain anything remotely like what I am yapping about ? Someone, somewhere has to have written this, I am certainly not the only one that has requested this feature set. It’s actually a logical progression of the set up.

Cristián,

Thank you for the ‘ahem’ clarity ;-) ….moving right along:

However, we still haven’t addressed my issue: EXISTING USERS!

I have 90+ users that are ALREADY in the system, I think it would be woefully inefficient make my entire user base walk back thru a sign up process, because I’ve created a new button that makes them all go sign up AGAIN, and then pay me more money, when they’ve already done that once already.

Let me try to be a little clearer this time:

1.) I have 90+ users that have already paid me, and that are ALREADY in the user system. Your first video and partially the 2nd video talks about users that don’t exist yet, that will come to the site and at the time of user creation you’ll set roles and permissions for them. What about users that have already been created, the existing user base ? How do we re-set roles and permissions for THOSE users ? Or users that I create on the fly that go thru the external registration process but that I add manually ?

2.) I have well over 300+ pages of content that I need to repackage on a global basis for those 90+ users. While I can easily see using either one of these methods I will have to either go thru each and every page and add/change a user level (which is what I did for the first 50, and then as I added more I added in the user levels at the time of creation), is there a way to set up a group of pages so that only a specific user has access to them ?

3.) The example that Jason gives in the 2nd video talks about the user ‘MaryJane’ and the permission set of ‘MaryJane’. While this is all fine and good, and sort of solves my problem, the solution would mean that I would have to go and create 90+ pages for each and every user, and then within each of those user pages post content for each and every user. Again, woefully inefficient, in my opinion. My question is really after creating ONE page for MULTIPLE users, where the content on that page is user specific based on a set of parameters that I set globally, not individually.

For Example:

MaryJane logs in, and she sees 2 videos (#12, #92) in her account that she has access to.
BobDavis logs in, and he sees 5 videos (#14, #34, #57, #76, #92) in his account that he has access to.
DanMeehan logs in, and he sees 4 videos (#34, #57, #75, #92) in his account that he has access to.

Note that #92 is common to all 3, #34 and #57 are common to BobDavis and DanMeehan.

Miles.
