As my s2member site gets bigger, I have less time for this stuff; better left to the experts Time = $ for everybody!

@Bruce C
i don't have the /mu-plugins on my /wp-content folder. And I even tried to make a s2hacks.php and put it on my /wp-content/plugins directory and put on the code but it seems not working. =/

Any alternatives?

[Bruce C]

You need to make a mu-plugins folder, and put s2-hacks.php there.

[s2pidkaspr]

It seems to works now than before. But not really.
I have phpbb installed on my site and after putting your s2hacks.php code.

It gives me this error:

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /home/www/MYSITE/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php on line 6: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Mind please telling me what's wrong on line 6?
Thanks, i'm assuming were almost there.

[Bruce C]

That would mean that the function is either getting a string, or it's getting a null value. Is it doing this whenever you try to call the function?

[Bruce C]

It's probably getting a null value because there is no user with the id '1' on your site.

[Bruce C]

You need to download WP-Show ID's, and find your ID, and substitute it for 1 in the function I posted.

[s2pidkaspr]

Like my admin ID?
Well, I tried using a member's ID, it works. But its showing "SUBSCRIBER" on all. Not each member's OWN status level.

[s2pidkaspr]

Ok I have found my Admin ID. And replaced your code with it. Now, it is showing Administrator on ALL member's role statuses. I want it like show status of each members. Like for example, if the member is a regular member or a premium member, it will show that. How please?

[Bruce C]

If you would like to show the current logged-in user's status, just use the code Eduan posted, otherwise, if you're looking to do something like what Daisy put, you will need to use that code, and pass the ID dynamically.

[s2pidkaspr]

The thing is, its not showing what i wanted. It is showing the admin ID's status which is Administrator. Not each individual's status. Do you get what I mean?

[s2pidkaspr]

Anymore alternatives?

[s2pidkaspr]

bump!

If I understand correctly what's being requested here, I think this is what you need:

Code: Select all

get_user_field ('s2member_access_role', $user_id); 

viewtopic.php?f=40&t=12453&src_doc_v=111105#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

Change $user_id for the actual var that has the ID of user you want the role of.

I hope that helps.

[s2pidkaspr]

Well it didn't help. I'm trying to display their status role on wordpress comments. Whereas each comments came from different authors, which I want whoever author is commenting to show their role titles as Administrator, or either of s2member level 1-4 ( based on their names of course ), for example, Silver Member, Gold Member...

And I also want it to show even if the visitor or comment viewer is logged in or logged out.
i'm NOT trying to make it display who the user that is currently logged in.

[s2pidkaspr]

I tried any of the code in there, it seems nothing is working on get_user_field anywhere on my site..how come? =/

[s2pidkaspr]

bump! still need help.

[Bruce C]

The problem lies in that it's not possible to display the user role unless you can pass the ID into it. So this particular customization is not possible without a large amount of code involved, in which you pick up the user ID or user login and then get the user role by ID.

That's what's going wrong.

[s2pidkaspr]

I still don't get it. Hmm, s2member works fine on my site, except for this code. Do you think you can help me do this?

[Cristián Lávaque]

You'll need to edit the comments template and add this using a conditional that checks whether the visitor is logged in or not and then use a function to get the commenter's role.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Ref ... _logged_in
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=12453&src_doc_v=111206#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

# $s2member_access_label = get_user_field ("s2member_access_label"); # An s2Member Membership Access Label ( i.e. Bronze, Gold, Silver, Platinum, or whatever is configured ).

[s2pidkaspr]

That code actually works, however, it is displaying the current logged in user's status...NOT each comment author's status....

For example, if the member is Gold Member, and i put the functionality on comments, it will display on every single comment of every authors....that's NOT what i'm trying to do. I want it like if the comment author is SILVER MEMBER, it will show on their comment and if the comment author is GOLD it will show them that...even if BOTH authors, post on the same page....

EDIT:
Also, I want the comment author to show their status (Gold, Silver, etc) on their comments, even if the MEMBER or VISITOR is logged out...

[peeld]

I contacted Bruce C to do a custom coding job on this for me; still waiting to hear from him.

[s2pidkaspr]

thanks i hope i can get this executed..
i really want this function to be done on my comments section, so that any member or even visitors can see if the comment author is an upgraded member or not based on their status..

thank you i will be waiting
