Silly question...

I have two levels of protected content. One is free registration and one is paid subscription. For some reason, I can't wrap my head around this one simple puzzling question.

If someone clicks on a level #0 article, they're directed to the signup page. But the signup page also has an option for higher level paid access, how do people know which option (free or paid) to signup for to receive access to the article they clicked on?

Likewise, if someone clicks on a level #1 article, they're directed to the same signup page. The signup page also has option of basic open access. How do they know that they have to signup for paid access?

I guess I'm confused because all protected content links go to a single Members Option page. Since it's one page, we have to use all signup forms there. Is there a way to use conditions to simplify this?

Perhaps you will need to put a note by each article as to what type of access it requires? Someone may have a better answer. That one just came to mind for me. - Ryan

Thanks for your idea Ryan. I thought about this. The only problem, is that the protection starts at the link. It would be cool if there was a way to have some kind of flag or indicator next to the post title... I'll keep working on this.

Yes, with the Membership Options Page Variables. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Membership Options Page Variables

From your post in another thread I'm guessing that you found them already. :)
