Manager Mode and S2Member

You mean rejecting access for downloads? Yeah, good.

Manager mode needs the filename to be in its original state in the url, because it’s doing move/rename/delete/copy operations. Same reason encryption is disabled in manager mode. You can put two tables on the page, one, with manager mode, with showto=”administrator” on the page, and one without manager mode for everyone.

Or, you could build yourself a neat little plugin or function in your theme’s functions.php, something like this:

class my_fileaway_extension
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		add_shortcode('fileaway_switch', array($this, 'router'));
	}
	public function router($atts)
	{
		if(isset($_REQUEST['fa_mm']) && $_GET['fa_mm'] == 1)
		{
			$mm = 1;
			$atts['manager'] = 'true';
		}
		else
		{
			$mm = 0;
			if(isset($atts['manager'])) unset($atts['manager']);
		}
		$fileaway = new fileaway;
		$files = $fileaway->sc($atts);
		if(current_user_can('administrator'))
		{
			$files .= '<div id="fileaway-mm-switch-container" style="width:200px; margin-top:30px; margin-right:15px; display:inline-block;">';
			$files .= '<select id="fileaway-mm-switch" style="width:100%;">';
			$files .= '<option value="1" '.selected($mm, 1, false).'>Manager Mode</option>';
			$files .= '<option value="0" '.selected($mm, 0, false).'>Regular Mode</option>';
			$files .= '</select>';
			$files .= '</div>';
			$files .= "<script>";
			$files .= "jQuery(document).ready(function($){ ";
			$files .= "$('body').on('change', 'select#fileaway-mm-switch', function(){ ";
			$files .= "var mm = $(this).val(); ";
			$url = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array("fa_mm" => "%m"));
			$files .= "var url = '".$url."'; ";
			$files .= "url = url.replace('%m', mm); ";
			$files .= "window.location.href = url; ";
			$files .= "}); ";
			$files .= "}); ";
			$files .= "</script>";
		}
		return $files;
	}
}
new my_fileaway_extension;

Then just use [fileaway_switch] in place of your [fileaway] shortcode, with all the attributes you would normally use, minus manager=”true”.

I deleted my first post, because I forgot to add the administrator check on switch dropdown. Added in second post.

Thanks for the fast response Thom!
The function will be very useful however this is not solving this issue… my problem is that S2Member rejects the download when in manager mode (and only when in manager mode). So I have the following shortcodes on my page:
THIS ONE DOWNLOADS THE FILE OK –
[fileup base=”s2member-files” matchdrawer=”true”]
[fileaway type=”table” base=”s2member-files” paginate=”true” pagesize=”10″ searchlabel=”Search” filenamelabel=”Document Name” datelabel=”Modified” customdata=”Category” directories=”true” s2skipconfirm=”true”]

BUT THIS ONE REJECTS THE DOWNLOAD TELLING ME I DON’T HAVE PERMISSIONS!
[fileup base=”s2member-files” matchdrawer=”manager”]
[fileaway type=”table” base=”s2member-files” paginate=”true” pagesize=”10″ searchlabel=”Search” filenamelabel=”Document Name” drawerid=”manager” datelabel=”Modified” customdata=”Category” manager=”true” directories=”true” s2skipconfirm=”true” showto=”administrator”]

The administrator (and other users) can download successfully from the 1st shortcode but cannot download from the 2nd. The only difference is MANAGER=”TRUE” is added to the 2nd.

Does that make sense?

Thanks

Yes, I understand. That is exactly what I just told you. That’s why I gave you a function to switch between manager mode and non-manager mode so you can download the files in non-manager mode without using two tables.

I’m really sorry if I’m being slow to pick up what you are saying!
Are you saying that it should NOT be possible for an administrator to download a file using the plugin while in manager mode? To download a file the administrator would need to switch to regular mode.

That’s correct. s2members is the special case where you cannot download files when in manager mode.

As a make-shift solution, I provided a function that will allow you to toggle your shortcode between manager mode and regular mode. Hope that’s clear and that it helps.

Best,

Yes – thank you and sorry for being slow on the uptake!
Thanks for your super fast support – much appreciated!

Not a problem. Have fun.
