Partial Post Protection

[verity]

A few questions.

1. I want the visitors of the site to see: “Thank for you visiting. To download our free still images, please join as a free member. To download our videos, please join as a paid member.”

   And for the free members, I want them to see “To download our videos, please join as a paid member.”

2. I was able to edit the message. But is there a way to make the CSS styling of the message look a little more friendly? The big orange bar and warning symbol are a little too serious for my purposes. Is there a way to just hide the protected content, instead of hiding it AND having that big bar?

   I’m thinking that this part is what I need to edit somehow, but I’m worried what will happen if I just delete it. (This is from wp_eMember1.php) Do I edit the CSS, or can I edit this PHP to simply have the protected content hidden?

}

function eMember_is_post_protected ($post_id){

global $wpdb;

$wpdb->prefix . "wp_eMember_membership_tbl";

$query = "SELECT post_list FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "wp_eMember_membership_tbl WHERE id = 1;";

$post_list = unserialize($wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare($query)));

if(!$post_list) return false;

return in_array($post_id, $post_list);

}

You can customize the following CSS element in the “css/eMember_style.css” file to customize how the message box looks like:

wp-emember-msgbox

If you don’t want any of these formatting and just want to show a simple text line then you can just take it out completely from PHP. Search for the following function:

function wp_emember_format_message($msg)

Once you find it replace it’s content with return $msg;. It will look like the following after this modification:

function wp_emember_format_message($msg){

return $msg;

}

Perfect, thanks!

Is it possible to have different messages displays for different levels of membership? For example, if they aren’t a member, I want them to be prompted to join as a free member.

But if they are already a free member, I want them to be prompted to join as a paid member.

Is it possible to customize the PHP to reflect different messages based on membership level? Would I need to go in and edit the PHP that I deleted above?

Thanks!

You can wrap your message in various kinds of section protection so it is only shown to the targeted audience. These posts have examples:

Thank you! What is the difference between a “Hidden Content Message” and a “Members Only Message?”

[amin007]

Hidden content usually refers to content that your membership level does not allow you to see. Members only content refers to content only members can see.

How do I change the text in the wp-emember-warning-msgbox-text element. Which file do I need to edit to find the actual text to place in the warning box? I found the element in this file: wp-eMember/wp_eMember1.php but no place to alter the text.

I’m utterly baffled. Can you help me please?

Thanks
