Must have been gremlins. I copied the same code you gave me and it never worked. So i tried copying the old code for the other page and see if the code itself worked. It did. Then, i changed ONLY the ccaps, and it directed to the correct page (for the old code). Then, i edited the target URL and it worked. Why it was not working before? Mystery. But it works fine now. Woohoo!!

Thanks for the correction, but it still is not redirecting Gremlins???

This code works perfectly for the initial redirect i set up, but today, i am applying the exact same code with a different set of pages, and it does not seem to want to behave the same way.

I have the sales page here: http://scrapbookcampus.com/register-ele ... -with-psp/ (for non registered members) and the index page here: http://scrapbookcampus.com/element-creation-index/ (for the registered members).

On the sales page, i put this:

Code:

and on the index page, i put this:

Code:

If i am a logged in member without proper ccaps access, i get redirected from the index to the registration page.
If i am logged in as a registered member with access to the ccaps "element" i am NOT redirected from the registration page to the Index page.
Am i missing something? Is there a little detail missing in the code?

Do you know if there is any central place to list various codes like this on this forum? I am sure others would love to use something like that.

No idea why it was not working before, but it does now. It has a slight flickering, but i think i can live with that.

For the sale page, i used this code:

Code:

and for the student page, i used:

Code:

Now, i was able to simply put the code in the Headway theme HTML leaf and NOT in the WP page, which made it easier to manipulate. I am pretty sure i will reuse that coding in future pages!!!
Thanks.

Re: Conditional redirect to another page

2011-08-14T12:27:21-05:00

Yeah, i put it at the bottom because the theme uses leafs and the content leaf (which would hold the code) has those social media buttons incorporated and since i cannot figure out how to remove those from individual pages, putting the leaf on top would make those appear on top with a white empty space.

If nothing else, it MIGHT be a compromise. However, i will look at putting all the page content in the content leaf instead of an html leaf. That might work in including the code on top.

I'll let you know
(but why it works in one way and not the other is beyond me!)

Hmm, guess your server doesn't like the PHP code.

Anyway, you could try to use the JavaScript code again, but make sure it's at the top of the page. I'm guessing you put it at the bottom since the code was down there.

Hum... just used that code and i do NOT get a redirect at all if i click on the Basic Scrap in the navigation menu while logged out. I notice that the code gets all jumbled in the html of WP so maybe that is a problem? I'll try formatting it to see, but right now, i do not get the redirect that i was getting before.

EDIt: i formatted the code as you posted it, and it does not change. I do not get the redirect anymore from the course listing to the sales page if NOT logged in.

It is just odd that it works fine in one direction and not in the other one.

For the place holder, try taking it out. If it's showing, then it's not gonna do anything anyhow.

Re: Conditional redirect to another page

The PHP redirect is generally faster.

However, in order to use it, you cannot use shortcode equivalents.

Code:: if (!current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_basic') && !current_user_can('administrator')) { header( 'Location: http://scrapbookcampus.com/register-basic-scrap-course-with-psp/' ) ; } else {} ?>

This way doesn't have the code in it. This way the page will not view first. However, it will take just a bit longer to load.

Re: Conditional redirect to another page

Any idea why it does that side-effect in that direction but not in the other direction? If you are logged in and click on the middle box (which should send you to the sale pitch page) it will redirect you immediately to the course list, without that "flickering".

Then, for the placeholder, any suggestion on how to avoid it?

Do you think using the other code that had the in it would work better?

For the php edit, how would that impact other redirects i might want to use? I think it works out great to redirect the visitor to the matching sales page! Maybe something to integrate easier in the s2Member in future versions.

Re: Conditional redirect to another page

It starts loading the page because you are using the JavaScript redirect code. It's just a side-effect since it's in the body of the page, and not the head.

It looks like that placeholder code is either duplicated, or not needed. Those shortcodes can do weird things sometimes (lol)

Gremlins at work now. OK it works for the redirect now (not sure why it was looping earlier), however, now, if you are logged out and click on the Basic Scrap in the navigation menu it will START loading the "course" page, and then redirect to the "sales" page. Strangely, it does not do that the other way around. Humm...

Do you see that?

Also, at the very bottom of that page, i see some coding displayed so maybe i forgot something in the syntax or something like that.

Okay, so I logged into your test account, and it seems to be working for me, at least for the sale pitch page.
Are you saying you get a never-ending loop whenever you put the code on the non-sales-pitch page?

Re: Conditional redirect to another page

Ok it seems to work when i put the code on the WP page instead of the Headway leaf. So that is ok. Now, i just noticed something and i wonder if i messed up somewhere else: if i start on the main page (http://scrapbookcampus.com) and i am logged in as an authorized member (Member1/Member1), and i clilck on the Basic Scrap Course box or the Basic Scrap in the navigation, i will get redirected, but it seems to be caught in a loop of redirecting all the time.

I just used the code up there, as is, i removed all the permission limitation (level and ccaps) so that only the redirect would be in effect. What did i do wrong?

EDIT: let me know when you come back and want to check that page so i can reset it like this. For now, i will put it back in a way that i know will leave access to the students.

Try this:

Otherwise, I don't know what the problem could be.
