Setting a specific permission level to a few different users but equal content

[epimazzo]

Hi,

Think this is a very specific request which I confess didn’t find anywhere here.

I have a client we’re developing his new website and he asked me about a permission level which I’m unsure if wp-emember can handle.

See the website as a big image gallery showing up several pictures and arts right in the front page. This will be the content which need to be individually blocked to a few users who need have access to that picture detail and price. The problem and the challenge is the price which MUST be visible ONLY to that particular user and so to each other users individually.

Each user should have to see the same picture but a different price when they login.

Now, how to set this using WP-Emember? Is that possible?

Thanks for it.

Eduardo

You would essentially put up 2 or more separate views; one visible to one level; the other visible to the other(s).

[emember_protected scope=not_logged_in_users_only]

Content visible only to users not logged in.

[/emember_protected]

[emember_protected for=1]

Content visible only to level 1.

[/emember_protected]

[emember_protected for=3]

Content visible only to level 3.

[/emember_protected]

You can protect content for a particular member too.

Hi WZP,

thanks for your tip. I’m still unsure about this way you are suggesting. As I need to share a single image across several individuals in different membership levels, would those separate views above solve this puzzle?

The fact is we don’t want to update several times the same image every time we sell it for instance. That’s why a single image feature is important but it should be kept hidden and viewed by several membership levels perhaps at the same time.

What do you think?

Thanks

You can specify multiple level IDs in those shortcode to make it hidden for many levels in one go. You can also use the following parameter in the shortcode to maek the hidden section completely hidden:

do_not_show_restricted_msg=1

Use those shortcodes specified in the documentation to see how it works then you will get a good idea of how to use them best.

Admin,

Let me help you with more transparency as I probably didn’t quite well.

I have contributors across country. Many. We sell paintings and these contributors need access to the same painting sometimes at the same time even they are located remotely. So, WP-emember should be able to separate each one of these contributors at the time they logged in and show a particular painting to a customer. The other particular thing is this single painting gets different prices. See? The same image but with a different description price accessed by many contributors in different locations perhaps at the same time.

How to deal with this situation where each one should get his particular price but with the same content (image on this case)?

Shouldn’t WordPress MU be the best case for it? Or a single WP with WP-emember would do it?

Hope I clarified better this time.

Thanks a lot.

I see what you mean. I don’t think emember will be able to handle that scenario. You will need to look for a solution that was created for that kind of setup unfortunately.
