Customizing access based on user roles

    I have several different user roles that I created using Simple Membership. Now, I want each user role to have a different nav bar. (menu)
    I have two separate nav bars, one called LoggedIn and one called Default.
    Ideally, I’d use the following code in functions.php:

    function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ) {

if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	$args['menu'] = 'LoggedIn';
} else {
	$args['menu'] = 'Default';
}
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );

    And that works great, for differentiating between users who are logged in and users that are not.

    However, I would like to add another level of differentiation, based on Simple Membership user roles. (Or aliases).
    So, is there a way for me to access Simple Membership’s get('alias') function from within functions.php? So that I can add more nav bars and conditions?

  • you can try calling

    BMemberUtils::get_logged_in_members_level();

    in fact that will give you membership level id. but if you want membership level alias then do this:

    $auth = BAuth::get_instance();
        $alias = '';
        if ($auth->is_logged_in()) {
            $alias = $auth->get('alias');
        }

    Yes, that worked perfectly.
    Thank you.

    As an aside, this is a somewhat effective workaround until the bbPress addon is ready.
    I have one group of users that are allowed to see some pages that non-registered users cannot see, and another group of users that are allowed to view the forums (in addition to the above).
    I manage them by using different nav bars for each group, so that only people with the right permissions will have links to the forums. Of course, that won’t stop anybody from manually typing the address for the forums, but it’s better than nothing.
