Re: shortcodes for partial viewing of content

Code:: Free content first. [s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level0)] The user is not logged in, ask him to register and/or log in. http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register [/s2If] [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level0)] Content for logged in users. [/s2If] [s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The user can't access Level 1 content. Button to upgrade. [/s2If] [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Content for users at Level 1 or higher. [/s2If]

Does that help?

There's really no difference in perfomance, it's just that wit the PHP you have a little more control since you can customize the code.

I'll check that out, thanks Eduan.

Can I just ask your opinion on what's the best to use, the shortcodes or the php with the plugin? Are there any performance differences etc?

Well the paid version has what you call a Pro-form, which is basically the registration form or the PayPal button but without leaving the page you're in. There's also a free registration pro-from.

If you can't afford it the best you can do, at least from what I know, is put this link for them, maybe with an image:
http://www.yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register.

Hope this helps.

No, just the free one - does that make a difference to what's available?

Hey Eduan,

That's great, thank you. However, after the free content, there's no login or register options that follow. Do I have to add some other shortcode or link?

Re: shortcodes for partial viewing of content

Try this:

Code:: [s2If current_user_is(s2member_level0)] Some content for Free Subscribers. [/s2If] [s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level0)] Some public content. [/s2If]

Or this (you will need the Exec-PHP plugin):

Code:: } else if (current_user_is("s2member_level0")){ ?> Some content for Free Subscribers. } else { ?> Some public content. } ?>

Free content meaning public, that no-one needs to be a registered user for, not even a 0 membership.

Yes. After a certain amount of free content at the beginning of the page then block it unless logged in or offer registration. Can it be done? I can't see which of these shortcodes will work. I've played around with some different configurations on one page to test it without success

You mean put "login required" content and if the user isn't registered put something saying "please register"?

Also what content levels are you offering.

I'm back, already....

The shortcodes all seem to require a person to be logged in to see content, even when it's being made freely available. Is it possible to put the shortcode below the free non-subscriber content and use one that then asks for login to continue?

For a simple way try going under WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals and see if you find what you need there.

For a more advanced way try this couple of videos:
http://www.s2member.com/api-scripting-overview-video/
http://www.s2member.com/advanced-conditionals-video/

You can find everything under WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting.

Hope this helps.

shortcodes for partial viewing of content

2011-11-05T11:48:06-05:00

I want to provide some of the content on my pages to be visible and available as free but I would also like to restrict part of the content as premium. So the first portion would be free and the following portion premium and requiring either a single purchase of the rest of the content or a subscription option to read it.

Does s2member provide shortcodes that can fulfill that?

Many thanks,

Catherine
