Comments/commenting for members only

Postby cjmilcom » July 7th, 2010, 3:49 am

Hi - I'm looking for a way to allow non-members to VIEW comments (in the post, in the sidebar widgets, etc,), but I want them to JOIN as a member before they can submit comments.

We'll be using Free Subscribers (Level #0) as we don't have paid membership levels.

I've searched your documentation, forums and hooks and I just can't find a way to do this with s2 - and I would LOVE to do this with s2!

Any ideas?

regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie. Thanks for your inquiry.

This will require integration with your WordPress theme.

  • In your theme directory, find the comments.php file.
  • In your comments.php file, find the section of code that builds the comment form.
  • Wrap your comment form with some Advanced Conditionals.

    You'll end up with something like this:
Code: Select all
<?php if(is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can("access_s2member_level1")){ ?>

    // display the comment form that came with your theme.

<?php } else { ?>

    You must be logged in as a Member before you can leave a Comment.

<?php } ?>
Further documention on Advanced Conditionals, is available in your WP Dashboard, under:
s2Member -> API Scripting -> Advanced Conditionals
