I’ll answer this question first as it applies throughout the setup.

It is more of an == comparison rather than a >= comparison for membership levels…correct?

By default you can’t do a >= capability check, the user account either has the capability that is set on the ticket on their account/role or it doesn’t. The membership plugin you are using may provide levels, and also provide functions for >= comparisons based on the capabilities but it will be specific to how that plugins memberships are set up.

Which membership plugin are you using?

1,2,3 member levels get $5 off.
Bronze, Silver and Gold members…a member level 4 or higher…get in free.

If your membership levels ‘stack’ capabilities then you could use 2 sets of tickets, one set for level_1, 2, 3 and 1 set for Level_4, 5, 6.

When I say stacked capabilities, some membership plugins add capabilities to the levels whilst also giving the ‘lower’ level capbilites to the high level.

So for example a ‘Level 1’ member may have the capability level_1.

A ‘Level 2’ member may have level_1, level_2 capabilites

Level 3 = level_1, level_2, level_3

Meaning a ticket with level_1 as the min capability would work for all of those levels (as they all have that capability)

For the ‘free’ tickets you assign the capability to the ‘lowest’ level capability that is assigned to all of the ‘higher’ levels, for example level_4 may apply memberships levels 4,5,6.

S2_Member works similar to the above and I’ve based my reply on that but it really does depend what you are using if this will work.

I’m sorry but not I’m sure what you mean?

The levels are setup like above by default with S2 and you set the capability you want to use on the ticket within each ticket’s options. Actually, something you are going to find with the above setup is Gold members will have access to bother the paid tickets and the free tickets as they will also have the ‘lower’ cap that level 1,2 and 3 have. To prevent that you would need your own custom cap on each of the roles that you can use identify the 2 groups.

1) The capability that’s set in the ticket editor is _____________.
2) The Gold member role has the following capabilities:
_________

Where do I look to check/verify Gold member role? It should have full rights?

What is a Gold member in regards to S2?

You can use a plugin to view the capabilities on the role/user, but before you start changing capabilities (which may cause problems with S2 depending on what you change) confirm your using membership levels setup within S2.

Hi solwebsolutions,

If you carefully review S2Member’s documentation, you’ll note that
s2member_level4 is a role. You really need to input a capability into the Ticket Capability Requirement field.

Some examples of capabilities include:
access_s2member_level0
access_s2member_level1
access_s2member_level2
access_s2member_level3
access_s2member_level4
