[Plugin: Page Security by Contexture] Adding group membership through PHP on page.

  • I am managing a site that is going to be using Contexture’s Page Security module to give access to member only content after a purchase is made through gravity forms. I have a temporary re-direct after a PayPal payment is made that will ask the user to login, afterwards it will take the user to a one-time-page that’s whole purpose is to add the user to a specific group.

    I am currently using the plugin Exec-PHP module to add PHP code in a page. Currently I have to page set up like this:

    <?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
      echo 'Set $user_id to: ' . $user_id . "\n";
$group_id = 2;
      echo 'Set $group_id to: ' . $group_id . "\n";
CTXPS_Queries::add_membership_with_expiration($user_id,$group_id);
?>

    It will output the correct userID of the logged in user and the group number 2 that I defined in this PHP script. However, after I have the page load and I check the group membership, the loged in user does not get added to the group 2.

    Am I doing something PHP wrong or am I using the incorrect CTXPS thing?

    You code is good, but Exec-PHP is nothing but trouble and totally unnecessary.

    The easiest and best way to run PHP for a specific page is to just set up a page template. To do that, you can pretty much duplicate your theme’s page.php file, name it something like template-groupreg.php and then add this small comment to the top of the file so WordPress will recognize it:

    /**
 * Template Name: New User Group Registration
 */

    You can then tweak that file however you like. To apply it, edit your page in WordPress, then file the Page Attributes box and select your template from the Templates drop-down. CTXPS_Queries::add_membership_with_expiration() should then work pretty much as expected. You can also capture the return value and output that to the page to confirm.
