I just replied in your other thread about this. I suggest you get hlep from a freelance developer familiar with BuddyPress, maybe you'll find someone over at http://jobs.wordpress.net

I hope that helps.

I hate to be a pest but my Online Classroom opens this Friday for registration and I'd love to have this issue solved. Is there anything I can do to spur a solution along? Should I ask for individual assistance/paid assistance? I'm happy to do so. I haven't heard anything back from the buddypress.org support community.

I haven't heard back yet from the BP group. Kind of disappointed as not being able to use this functionality kind of leaves me back at ground zero I hunted around and tried the code below, as it seemed it might be a workaround, but it doesn't work either:

Code:: /**s2member code */ add_action ("template_redirect", "my_custom_capabilities", 1); function my_custom_capabilities () { if (fnmatch ("/classes/goal-setting-and-mental-management*", $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingworkingfall2011") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingauditingfall2011")) { header ("Location: " . S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL); exit (); } else if (fnmatch ("/classes/runningcontacts-i*", $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_runningcontactsiworkingfall2011") && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_runningcontactsiauditingfall2011")) { header ("Location: " .

Will do. Do you have an example of the code using uri snippets instead of buddypress group components? I only have four classes that need to be protected, so I was thinking if I could just change from bp group components to uri's, it might work?

Thanks,

Sorry my suggestion didn't work.

If I were you, I'd go back to the code you had working before, post it in the BP forums telling them it used to work and now doesn't, and if they could help.

Well, neither of the codes you submitted throw an error, so I suppose that's good news, but the same incorrect behavior persists - if I'm not logged in at all, then trying to click on classes takes me to the s2member options page, but if I'm logged in as a user who has a custom capability for only one of the classes, I can still view ALL of them, even though I don't have access to them based on the above code. Grrr. I do notice that when I'm not logged in, the end of the URL when I get bumped to the s2member options page says something that indicates I'm being redirected because I'm not level1, rather than that I don't have the ccapability.

So, I went to my restriction options in the s2member panel, and I had a URI restriction on /classes/. When I remove THAT, the above code is clearly not working at ALL - even a not logged in user can see everything. The only thing keeping the world from seeing the classes was that I had a URI restriction set; the code above isn't working at all anymore. Seems so weird. I've got the URI restriction back in place for now.

Thanks for your continued support,

Daisy

EDIT: Do you think changing from bp group conditionals to just uri conditionals would work? Not sure how to format that but I can see where it might work?

You seem to have changed the conditionals when you added that new check. Just add it without changing the others:

Code:: /** s2member code */ add_action ("template_redirect", "my_custom_capabilities", 1); function my_custom_capabilities () { if (bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_single_item() && bp_current_item() == 'goal-setting-and-mental-management' && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingworkingfall2011') && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingauditingfall2011')) { header('Location: ' . S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL); exit; } else if (bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_single_item() && bp_current_item() == 'runningcontacts-i' && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_runningcontactsiworkingfall2011") && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_runningcontactsiauditingfall2011')) { header ("Location: " . S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL); exit (); } else if ( bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_single_item() && bp_current_item() == 'agility-foundation' && !current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_foundationclassworkingfall2011") && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_foundationclassauditingfall2011')) { header ("Location: " .

S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL); exit (); } } /** end s2member code */

I hope that works.

Here's your code rewritten, just for fun, but I haven't tested it.

Code:: add_action('template_redirect', 'my_custom_capabilities', 1); function my_custom_capabilities() { if ((bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_single_item()) && ( (bp_current_item() == 'goal-setting-and-mental-management' && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingworkingfall2011') && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingauditingfall2011')) || (bp_current_item() == 'runningcontacts-i' && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_runningcontactsiworkingfall2011') && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_runningcontactsiauditingfall2011')) || (bp_current_item() == 'agility-foundation' && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_foundationclassworkingfall2011') && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_foundationclassauditingfall2011')) || (bp_current_item() == 'hooligans' && !current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_hooligan')) )) { header('Location: ' .

Buddypress 1.5 *did* implement some changes, I'm no coder, but I do know that when I upgraded it added PAGES, for example, it added the page "Activity", which has nothing on it in edit mode, but which brings up the Activity feed when viewed properly, and it added the page "Classes" (which is what I've renamed groups to in my language file), which is empty but brings up classes when viewed properly. Maybe that helps?

EDIT: I also asked this question on the BP support groups:
Do the functions bp_is_groups_component and bp_current_item still work the same as they used to?

The answer was a simple Yes

They probably changed something, then.

Look at the example near the bottom, it may help you:

Code:: Or if you wanted to show something on every single group page, regardless if it was the home page or not: ( bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_single_item() ) : ?> Show this on all single group pages ; ?>

Try adding && bp_is_single_item() to your conditions and see if it helps.

This page:
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/
seems to suggest bp_is_groups_component is still available as a function, bp_current_item function as well.

If a user isn't logged in (random visitor), any class they click on takes them back to the url that I've specified in the s2member options.

Used to be, if a user was logged in and had purchased access to a group, if they clicked on a group they DIDN'T have access to, they'd also go back to the s2member specified URL. Now, if they click on a group they don't have access to, they get taken to that group's home page. They still can't view any of the class content, but they can view the homepage, and it used to be they'd go back to the s2member page.

Hope that helps?

I feel like this is a really dumb question...but...

OK, so the customer clicks the Paypal button. They make a payment. They get a custom capability which allows them to SEE a group. Then, they still have to JOIN that group. I've actually removed the 'join group' button for now and am manually adding members for the moment. I feel like it's just one more layer of complexity that most users will be turned off by.

Is there a way to have people with the correct custom capability ALSO be given membership to the group that they've purchased access to? And then when they get demoted at the EOT their membership is also revoked from that group?

I'm not sure I'm making myself clear, I hope so. It's not a huge deal to manually add people as members to the BP groups at the moment. And of course S2Member works just fine; even if I added a random member to a group, they still couldn't SEE that group if they didn't have the correct ccap for it. So that's working as it should. Just curious about the ability to auto add members to a group they've got ccap for.

Tried this, doesn't work

Code:: else if (bp_is_groups_component() && 'goal-setting-and-mental-management' == bp_current_item() && (!current_user_can ("access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingworking") || !current_user_can ("access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingauditing"))) {header ("Location: " .

EDIT: I tried rewording the statement to the below but that didn't work either. I'll admit I'm a PHP newbie and don't even fully understand what the "1" is at the beginning of the code. Really, I'd be happy to have two statements, one where if the user had the ccap goalsettingworking they got access at level 1 (and a level 1 role), and if they had the ccap goalsettingauditing they got level 2 access, simply because then they'd automatically have a different role assigned, although they would still be limited to viewing only the groups they had ccap for.

Code:: else if ((bp_is_groups_component() && 'goal-setting-and-mental-management' == bp_current_item() && (!current_user_can ("access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingworking")) ||(bp_is_groups_component() && 'goal-setting-and-mental-management' == bp_current_item() && (!current_user_can ("access_s2member_ccap_goalsettingauditing"))) {header ("Location: " .
