Conditional for coming from a rejected page?

  • I direct people to the membership page when they reach a page that they don’t have access to, but it’s the same page that I direct people to to sign up for membership. I want a line at the top of the page that says they reached that page because they don’t have access to the content they tried to reach, but only when that’s the case. When the user goes directly to that page, I don’t want them to be told they’re there because they reached content they can’t access.

    At first I thought to use a conditional like:

    [s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
    You have tried to access a page that requires Membership.
    [/s2If]

    but while that prevents existing members from seeing that when they go to the membership page, it doesn’t prevent public users or registered users (who have no become members) from seeing that text at the top of the page, which they should only see if they get there by reaching a page they can’t access.

    The easy answer is to have two membership pages, but I thought the idea was to direct to your normal membership page, so it seems there should be a way to do this properly.

    Thanks.

  • Try using [s2If !is_user_logged_in()]

    The problem is that whoever goes to the membership page directly will see the notice about requiring membership, which makes no sense in that context. If the user is logged in (i.e. level 0, a registered user) they still might not be a member (i.e. level 1). In the case of public users or level 0 users, they are seeing something they should not, and indeed I want them to go to the membership page to sign up, without getting confused by the notice at the top.

    You can combine the conditionals to make it all work just the way you want. See this.

    How does that tell me if the user came from a rejected page, or went to the membership page directly (such as from a menu)?

    Why do you need to know? You just need to specify what message each user gets in what circumstances. That’s what the shortcodes control.

    If I want to tell the people who are being re-directed that they’re being re-directed because they are not members, I don’t want to tell the same thing to someone who just went to the membership page without being re-directed.

    Telling someone who has been re-directed is a stick, and leaving that out when they go independently is a carrot.

    But you don’t do it like that. You set one conditional so that it provides one message, and another conditional to provide a different message. So each group only sees what they are supposed to see.

    Have you read the page to which I referred you?
