Possible to flag specific posts as COMPLETELY open access?

Postby sugeneris » August 15th, 2011, 6:28 pm

On my client's site, we allow posts to be "free access" to everyone for 12hours, after which only an excerpt is shown and they're required to register through s2Member to see everything. This is done via the method I posted last year and works fine for what it is.

Now, the client wants the ability to flag specific posts as being free to everyone, permanently. (Or at least until they deactivate the free state.) The problem I've run into is that s2Member seems to function on the assumption that everything is subject to users having registered. So it turns out that using the entry screen meta box to set the access level to "0" doesn't do what we need, because level 0 is still a registered user, just one that hasn't paid or whose membership has expired. I need this to also apply to anonymous users.

Am I missing something, or is the above correct?
I've already come up with something that works, using a test for a post tag the editors would add to the post, but wanted to check if there actually was a feature for this I'm unaware of. (Otherwise, I'll share my hack once implemented.)

The default access for content is that anyone can view it, s2Member only restricts access to content you apply a restriction to. So if you need something to be viewable by everyone, you just don't apply an access restriction to it.

Does that help?
