Thanks for the suggestion, it’s not built in and while writing this I think … why not? I suppose this should be added right on top of the @todo list for Groups!

Currently you could achieve it by maintaining your own table (relating users allowed to write and post IDs) and using Groups’ API to check if the current user belongs to the group or has the right capabilities needed to edit a post.

Although this doesn’t cover the exact requirement you outlined, a group allowed to fully manage a Pizza custom post type would have these capabilities:

edit_pizzas
edit_others_pizzas
publish_pizzas
edit_published_pizzas
read_private_pizzas
delete_pizzas
delete_private_pizzas
delete_published_pizzas
delete_others_pizzas
edit_private_pizzas

The Registered group is the default group to which users (i.e. those with an account on the site) belong. Plain visitors (not logged in) do not belong to that group.

The answer to your question depends on what you want to do with that information. If it’s displaying content to someone who is logged in while the same content should be hidden from a normal visitor, then you could use:

[groups_member group="Registered"]
Only registered users can see this.
[/groups_member]

Hi,

It should be possible, Affiliates supports any currency, also virtual currencies such as points. If an integration awards points, these could then be managed/credited appropriately using that plugin I’d suppose.

Someone would have that code that though. I’d suggest to have a look at the API documentation: http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/api

Cheers

On #2 it doesn’t pay directly on each referral, you would review the totals for the affiliates periodically and send them the payment through PayPal, bank transfer etc.

When you visit Affiliates > Manage Affiliates and an affiliate has accepted referrals that can be paid, it will show up on their entry.

Hi,

Thanks for asking, the built-in access restriction features of Groups are also applicable to the Document post type that the plugin provides. When you create a new document, or edit and existing one, you will have the same access restriction capabilities as with normal posts or pages (Groups provides an option to enable or disable this by post type).

So with this plugin, you don’t really need GFA, Groups by itself would be sufficient.

Cheers

Hi,

You have an equality test instead of an assignment in your code:

$group_id == 2;

… is an equality test and should rather be:

$group_id = 2;

If the user already belongs, it won’t duplicate entries.

Hi, thanks for the kudos 🙂

What you’re asking isn’t really something that you would use Groups for, try searching the plugin section for a plugin that allows to show user info 😉
