Changing menu items according to membership level

[sunny]

Hello -
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the WP menu items in menu bars according to the membership levels.
Thanks in advance

[Jason Caldwell]

Hi Sunny. Thanks for the great question.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea #1:
Integrating nav menus in your theme with s2Member
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Step #1 ( inside your functions.php file ):

Code: Select all

add_theme_support("nav-menus"); 

Step #2 ( inside your functions.php file ):

Code: Select all

register_nav_menu ("primary-public", "Primary Menu ( public )");
register_nav_menu ("primary-level0", "Primary Menu ( Level #0 )");
register_nav_menu ("primary-level1", "Primary Menu ( Level #1 )");
register_nav_menu ("primary-level2", "Primary Menu ( Level #2 )");
register_nav_menu ("primary-level3", "Primary Menu ( Level #3 )");
register_nav_menu ("primary-level4", "Primary Menu ( Level #4 )"); 

Step #3, work out the logic in your header.php file:

Code: Select all

if(!is_user_logged_in()){
    wp_nav_menu (array ("theme_location" => "primary-public"));
} else {
    $level = S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL;
    wp_nav_menu (array ("theme_location" => "primary-level-".$level));
} 

Step #4 ( configure your menus inside WordPress® ):
Assign different menus to each of these new slots.
( In your Dashboard, see: Appearance -> Menus )

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea #2:
Using a custom Walker class, in conjunction with s2Member's conditionals.
documented here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Ref ... p_nav_menu
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside your Walker class, you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

if(is_permitted_by_s2member ($ID, "singular"))
   // display in menu
else 
  // bypass, they don't have access.        

* For further documentation on the is_permitted_by_s2member () function, check your Dashboard:
s2Member -> API Scripting -> Advanced Query Conditionals

[Jason Caldwell]

Note. The s2Clean theme has this already integrated if you prefer. However, it's only for logged-in vs. NOT logged-in. The s2Clean theme doesn't break it down to a specific Level# like the example above.
http://www.primothemes.com/post/s2clean ... wordpress/

s2Clean is also available through s2Member.com
http://www.s2member.com/prices/

[Jason Caldwell]

@TODO :: integrate drop-down option into the WordPress® menu system
This could be made even easier ( perhaps ), if s2Member integrated options of its own.
( this needs further investigation ).

[sunny]

Thanks Jason. Your ideas give me a good point to start. I wish I could use s2clean however, I use BuddyPress so I had to purchase another premium theme.

[Jason Caldwell]

You're VERY welcome.

We're working on an s2Clean/BuddyPress combo.
Actually, we have quite of bit of new stuff being released soon.

[Bendov]

Hi there

Have you got any further with the s2clean / BuddyPress combo?

Thanks

[MacilattheWP]

Just a slight heads up: the functions.php code didn't work for me (and I couldn't figure out why) until I added dashes before the numbers in the menu labels like so:

Code: Select all

    register_nav_menu ("primary-public", "Primary Menu ( public )");
    register_nav_menu ("primary-level-0", "Primary Menu ( Level #0 )");
    register_nav_menu ("primary-level-1", "Primary Menu ( Level #1 )");
    register_nav_menu ("primary-level-2", "Primary Menu ( Level #2 )");
    register_nav_menu ("primary-level-3", "Primary Menu ( Level #3 )");
    register_nav_menu ("primary-level-4", "Primary Menu ( Level #4 )");

I suppose you could also change the header.php code to lose the dash, I guess I just think the dash makes things cleaner-looking.

[presson]

Also was hoping to check in on the combo, it sounds intriguing. If you all would like my help at all I have been a lot of time lately working with codes as data sets and organization. There is a process called ediscovery that allows you to keep well organized across multiple sets of data. Let me know guys, we can track our codes, finances, contacts, whatever we need. Kind of like a cloud with closet.

[cclambie]

I would like to do this using Specific Post/Page access links?
Is that possible?
I am using a plugin called "widgets_on_pages" to put a menu onto the page at present, but would happily use some other method.
I have just implemented a system where people can access just 1 page of 7 protected pages, and a "thanks" page and I would like to limit the menu to this page.
Or if there is some way to know what page they have purchased, I could use CSS to point out that only certain pages in the menu are accessible?
Thoughts?

Don't mind his comment, it's just a spam post to get backlinks. I'm removing the account/posts now. Sorry about that.

[downeyworksout]

I am completely delinquent in coding for wordpress. I see these steps, but need more instruction. Anyone able to help me? I only have 2 access levels so it should not be difficult. I have the menus created, just can't get them operating.

[cclambie]

Downy, I am sorry to say I have had this post open for some time and not had much response. I did find some posts that related to "login" based levels - this post is more about Specific Page/Posts access link restrictions.

[downeyworksout]

I want "login" based access Where are those posts? Thanks for the reply!

[cclambie]

Sorry Downy, My mistake I thought this was my post, but I was wrong... this is the post I was thinking of, at the top it talks about "Login" based menu changing.... I might create my own post about Specific Page/Post access and Menu links... sorry.

[downeyworksout]

Well, can you help me with where I put the info in steps 1-3 as well as what info needs to be replaced to make it work? I'm really bad w/ CSS, I'm so used to HTML.

[cclambie]

Hi Downy,
You don't need to replace anything in these steps - just follow them exactly.

You might like to do Step #4 first:
Create 2 Menus (for your 2 access levels)
Call them "primary-public" and "primary-level-0"

Then add this to functions.php
add_theme_support("nav-menus");
register_nav_menu ("primary-public", "Primary Menu ( public )");
register_nav_menu ("primary-level-0", "Primary Menu ( Level #0 )");

Then work out the logic required in your header.php file - post it here if you are having issues and I can take a look.

[downeyworksout]

NO idea where to post in the header.php file. So here it is:

[cclambie]

Not sure what you are aiming for, looking at your header.php file I can't see a Dynamic menu, and has some settings based on if a user is logged in or not, but that is about all in the navigation.

I put the Primo Theme based menus below your current Menu, so I hope it works out for you.
Just changed the attached file extension from.txt to .php

Change I made starting at line 131, addition is at line 160 to 166 (in actual document)

Code: Select all

<div id="navmenu">
<?php
get_template_part('nav',tech_nav_select());
}
if ($tech['nav_menu_type'] != "Disable" && $tech_disable_nav != "checked") {
if ($tech['dashboard_link'] == "On") {
if (is_user_logged_in()) { ?>
<ul id="admin"><li><a href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>/wp-admin" title="<?php _e('Dashboard' ,'techozoic')?>"><?php _e('Dashboard' ,'techozoic')?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out' ,'techozoic')?>"><?php _e('Log Out' ,'techozoic')?></a></li></ul>
<?php
} else { ?>
<ul id="admin"><li>
<?php if ($tech['thickbox'] =="On") {
?>
<a href="#TB_inline?height=120&amp;width=120&amp;inlineId=loginthick" class="thickbox" title="Login"><?php _e('Login' ,'techozoic')?></a>
<?php } else {
?>    <a href="<?php echo wp_login_url();?>" title="<?php _e('Login' ,'techozoic')?>"><?php _e('Login' ,'techozoic')?></a>
<?php }
?>
</li></ul>
<?php
if(!is_user_logged_in()){
    wp_nav_menu (array ("theme_location" => "primary-public"));
} else {
    $level = S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL;
    wp_nav_menu (array ("theme_location" => "primary-level-".$level));
}
?>

Thanks for the help. It didn't work, unfortunately. Any other suggestions on how to make certain pages appear for certain member levels?

[Eduan]

You might wanna check this video downeyworksout if that's what you want to achieve:
http://www.s2member.com/paypal-modifica ... ons-video/

Hope this helps.

[downeyworksout]

Eduan, that's not what I'm looking for, but thanks

Here's the deal, just like Sunny (the post originator), I want to have two nav menu lists. I have two levels of s2Members and want the public members to see one menu and the monthly pay members to see a different nav menu. For example. I run a fitness / modeling website. I want my free subscribers to have a "Training" nav tab with one set of prices, but I want the monthly paid members to have a "Training" tab under the "Members" tab with different prices, but the original tab to not be shown so there is no confusion. You can see how it's set up on my website: http://downeyworksout.com

[Eduan]

So you want certain pages to appear on the nav menu only if the member has the required level to see that page?
If so then you can check under WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative Views Protection and configure everything there.

Hope this helps.

[downeyworksout]

Eduan,

I DO want certain pages to appear on the nav menu only if the member has the required level to see that page, however, Alternative Views Protection does not do that. Thanks again for trying though.
