Hmmm… this could work I think. The only thing I don’t like is that the full URL is different between the “excerpt with ad teaser” “page” and the permalink of the full post.

Is there a way to turn off permalink protection for a specific category? And then I could edit single.php so that if the category is a protected category, then to display the excerpt and ad, of if the user has access display the full post.

Come to think of it… Hmmm…. what issues would happen if I simply removed this category from S2’s protection altogether? I assume I can still do the necessary current_user_can(“access_s2member_level1”) in single.php manually. So basically I would be using S2 for registration and purchase, but “rolling my own” protection built into my theme. Is there anywhere else besides single.php where the entire post is displayed? Doesn’t everywhere else automatically use the excerpt (Which we want publicly available anyway)?
