Redirect if user does not have the correct ccap

[Carole Asselin]

As far as i know (and i might be wrong too), if a page is restricted by a ccap, if the user does not have that ccap, he gets redirected to the Membership option page, by default.

Is there a way to redirect to a specific page where the user could purchase the access to this particular page (or set of pages)?

Here is the scenario:
I have Course A that includes dripping content where many pages are restricted.
I also have a nice, elaborate sale page for that Course.

Right now, if someone tries to access one of the restricted pages, he gets redirected to the Membership option page, where i have also other courses listed, so the user will not see the sale page that relates to the particular page/course he wanted to access since he will also see info on Course B and Course C, etc.

Is there a way to currently redirect unauthorized visitors to a specific page instead of the default Membership option page?
If it is not possible, maybe a suggestion to add a link to that specific page under the “Require Custom Capabilities?” in the s2Member box?

If it is not possible yet, maybe i can add that suggestion in the Github forum?

Well, you could customize the behavior in different ways…

You can change the Membership Options Page’s content with conditionals, using the MOP Vars. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Scripting -> Membership Options Page Variables

Or, you could try a must-use plugin that checks if the required access is the ccap you’re talking about, and redirect the person to another page instead. Or do the redirection in the page with a conditional and a JavaScript redirection.

Maybe somthing like this: In /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2mop-redir.php

<?php
if (!empty($_REQUEST['_s2member_vars']))
   @list($restriction_type, $requirement_type, $requirement_type_value, $seeking_type, $seeking_type_value, $seeking_uri)
        = explode("..", stripslashes((string)$_REQUEST["_s2member_vars"]));

if (!empty($seeking_value) && $seeking_value == 'yourccaphere' ) {
   header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yourccapsalespage');
   exit;
}

Not tested, but I hope it helps. 🙂

That might work. I`ll try and report back.

But if it is not a native function of s2M, i think it would be a great feature to add, directly in the dashboard. Don’t you think?

[Carole Asselin]

I am not good enough in php syntax but as it, it is not working. Shouldn’t there be a closing tag or something at the end?

[Cristián Lávaque]

No, the PHP closing tag is not required there.

Hmm… What is the ccap you’re using for that? Can I have a link to a page protected with it to see what the MOP vars are when redirected?

Thanks!

Here is the code i am using

<?php
if (!empty($_REQUEST['_s2member_vars']))
   @list($restriction_type, $requirement_type, $requirement_type_value, $seeking_type, $seeking_type_value, $seeking_uri)
        = explode("..", stripslashes((string)$_REQUEST["_s2member_vars"]));

if (!empty($seeking_value) && $seeking_value == 'element' ) {
   header('Location: http://scrapbookcampus.com/creative-scrap/creative-scrap-register/');
   exit;
}

Here is one page that you need the ‘element’ ccap to access:
http://scrapbookcampus.com/element-creation-index/folded-edge/

and the sale page is obviously this one:
http://scrapbookcampus.com/creative-scrap/creative-scrap-register/

Thanks!

Okay, I wrote a new simpler one, and tested it to confirm it works.
http://s2member.net/?_s2member_vars=ccap..ccap..element..page..4286

<?php
if (!empty($_REQUEST['_s2member_vars']) && strpos($_REQUEST['_s2member_vars'], 'ccap..ccap..element') !== false) {
   header('Location: http://scrapbookcampus.com/creative-scrap/creative-scrap-register/');
   exit;
}

🙂

[Carole Asselin]

Great! It works exactly as i was hoping. Now, if it can be integrated as a native feature, everyone will be able to use it easily. 🙂

[Cristián Lávaque]

Great! 😀
