Clearing punished members

[Nemrod Kedem]

Hi,

Is there a way to list the members that have been punished by the Unique IP Access Restrictions?
Is there a way to reset them so they can get back to work without waiting for the punish to end?
Is there a (future) way to exclude members from being punished?

Thanks,
Nemrod Kedem

Hi there. Thanks for the great question.

No, there's not currently a method built into s2Member that can list all punishments.
However, you can use this method to remove punishments early if you like:

Code: Select all

$restriction = strtolower("JohnDoe22");
delete_transient (md5 ("s2member_ip_restrictions_" . $restriction . "_breached"));

$restriction = the Username ( lowercase ).

@TODO :: API function to list all punishments.

In case votes matter at all, I have a client who's just asked for such a listing.

Hello Jason,

I can see that this thread was created shortly after I posted the same question here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14345

When can we expect this list of users who use too many IPs?

Can you at least give us a piece of code which would exclude a single user from these restrictions? Looking at the code, it looks like there is a filter hook called ws_plugin__s2member_disable_all_ip_restrictions which has to return false, otherwise the check will be skipped.

However I could not debug that, as I couldn't get the includes/classes/ip-restrictions.inc.php file to load for my test user.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Jason,

actually here is the code, I'm just not sure if the filter is used at all.

Otherwise it's simple. If user post meta is set, then a function is hooked onto the filter hook, which should exclude user from IP restrictions:

Code: Select all

add_action( 'wp', 'custom_user_exclude_ip_restrictions_check_user' );

function 'custom_user_exclude_ip_restrictions_check_user() {
   $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
   if( is_object($current_user) ) {
      $exclude = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'exclude_ip_restriction', true );

      if( isset($exclude) && $exclude == 'on' ) {
         add_filter( 'ws_plugin__s2member_disable_all_ip_restrictions', 'custom_user_exclude_ip_restrictions_filter' );

      }
   }
}

function custom_user_exclude_ip_restrictions_filter() {

   return true;
}

This is the IF statement I was trying to affect with this (s2member/includes/classes/ip-restrictions.inc.php):

Code: Select all

if (!apply_filters ("ws_plugin__s2member_disable_all_ip_restrictions", false, get_defined_vars ())
                  /* Also allow specific exclusions here. */ && !apply_filters ("ws_plugin__s2member_disable_specific_ip_restriction", false, get_defined_vars ())
                  /* And enabled by site owner? */ && $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["max_ip_restriction"] /* And a valid ``$restriction``? */ && $restriction && is_string ($restriction)

I have this code up and running and the site works for me, but it's highly experimental.

Thanks,
Martin
