Unlimited Access

[eric41]

Hello! Using S2Member v3.1. I have a content site where I am offering online courses - all via "Specific Post/Page Access Buy Now Buttons". I am not using membership levels at all because I don't want to require anyone to register for any reason.

So here is my issue: I am offering an option at my site to purchase unlimited access to the entire catalogue of courses. When someone purchases the unlimited access package, I want their access to update each time I add new courses. In other words, I want them to have ongoing unlimited access to the site and automatic new access to any future courses/pages I create. So far, I have been using "Specific Post/Page Access Links" when someone wants unlimited access, so I just manully go in and create a bundle package that gives access to every premium page of the site. The problem of course is that this link does not update to include new courses when I create them.

Sure hoping there's a way to make this happen..looking forward to any responses. Thank you!

Hi Eric. Thanks for your inquiry.

Yes, this is possible with s2Member. You'll need to use the file that I've attached. You will want to unzip this file, and then place the containing PHP file into a special folder on your server, at this location:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/my-dynamic-sp-access-session.php

This way your changes will survive future upgrades of the s2Member plugin. If you don't have an /mu-plugins/ directory, please create one. The directory /mu-plugins/ = MUST USE plugins, which are loaded automatically by WordPress® ( that's what you want ).

The attached zip file contains this PHP code ( an s2Member add-on ):

Code: Select all

<?php
function my_dynamic_sp_access_session ($sp_access_values, $vars)
    {
        $vars["__refs"]["sp_access_values"] = array (ws_plugin__s2member_encrypt ("sp_time_hours:.:|:.:" . $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["specific_ids"] . ":.:|:.:" . strtotime ("now") . ":.:|:.:" . ($expiration_hours = "72")));
        /**/
        $vars["__refs"]["cookie"] = implode (":.:|:.:", $vars["__refs"]["sp_access_values"]); /* Implode the access values into a delimited string. */
        /**/
        setcookie ("s2member_sp_access", $vars["__refs"]["cookie"], time () + 31556926, "/"); /* Updated the session cookie. */
    }
add_action ("ws_plugin__s2member_during_sp_access_session", "my_dynamic_sp_access_session", 10, 2);
?>

With this file in place, your Customers will automatically be granted access to ALL Posts/Pages that you list in the General Options panel for s2Member. You'll just need to keep your list up-to-date. You do this through your Dashboard, by navigating to: s2Member -> General Options -> Specific Post/Page Access.

This add-on requires s2Member v3.2.7+.

Thanks so much for that, Jason!
I'm off soon to plug this stuff in, and I will report back to you.
Have a great day!
