The Shortcode
[eyesonly] [/eyesonly]
or
[eyesonlier] [/eyesonlier]
or
[eyesonliest] [/eyesonliest]
-
Required attributes: either logged=”in|out” or level=”anyrole, any_capability” or username=”anyusername” or all three
-
Newly integrated attributes: rs_group=”any_Role_Scoper_group(s)” or pp_group=”any_Permit_Press_group(s)”
-
Optional attribute: hide=”yes”
All shortcodes must include at least one of the three required attributes. In some cases, it makes sense to use all of them together.
-
The ‘logged’ attribute takes one of two values: ‘in’ or ‘out’
-
The ‘level’ attribute takes any user role (including custom roles) or any capability (including custom capabilities). It can take multiple roles and/or capabilities, separated either by spaces or commas.
-
The ‘username’ attribute takes any userlogin (username), or multiple, separated either by spaces or commas.
-
The ‘rs_group’ and ‘pp_group’ attributes can take comma or space-separated lists just like the ‘level’ and ‘username’ attributes. If you have the latest versions of either Role Scoper or Press Permit activated, you’ll get an extra menu in your shortcode generators to filter your content by those custom user groups. This attribute can also be used in combination with any of the others to fine tune your filtering.
-
The ‘hide’ attribute: By default, the shortcode will show the content only to the users specified by the ‘username’, ‘level’ or ‘logged’ attributes. Adding the ‘hide’ attribute will reverse that, and hide the content from the specified users. To hide content from the specified users, use hide=yes or hide=true.
Any other shortcode can be used inside this shortcode.
Examples
-
[eyesonly level=”administrator, customrole, moderate_comments”] Any kind of content. [/eyesonly]
This will show the content only to users with the ‘administrator’ role, the ‘customrole’ role, and the ‘moderate_comments’ capability.
-
[eyesonly hide=”yes” logged=”out” level=”subscriber customrole”] Any kind of content. [/eyesonly]
This will hide the content from all logged out users, and from anyone with the roles ‘subscriber’ or ‘customrole’.
-
[eyesonly username=”joebob, billyjean” level=”administrator”] Your content. [/eyesonly]
This will show the content to all administrators and to the specific users ‘joebob’ and ‘billyjean,’ whether they’re administrators or not.
-
[eyesonly logged=”in”] Content for logged-in users. [/eyesonly][eyesonly logged=”out”] Content for logged-out users. [/eyesonly]
This will show different content in the same location on the page depending on a user’s logged-in or out status.
-
[eyesonly level=”administrator”] Content. [/eyesonly]
This will show the content only to administrators.
-
[eyesonly hide=”yes” level=”administrator custom_capability”] Content. [/eyesonly]
This will hide the content only from administrators and from any role that has the ‘custom_capability’.
Eyes Only Nesting
- Eyes Only allows for nested user access shortcodes up to three levels deep. Example:
[eyesonly level=”administrator, editor, author”] Restricted content. [eyesonlier level=”administrator, editor”] Restricteder content. [eyesonliest level=”administrator”] Restrictedest content. [/eyesonliest] More restricteder content. [/eyesonlier] More restricted content. [/eyesonly]
- It doesn’t matter which order you use them in, just so long as you keep your nested levels straight.
Requirements
Screenshots
The Shortcode Generator Meta Box defaults to a closed position so as to be as unobtrusive as possible.
You’ve opened up the Meta Box. (That’s so Meta.) Behold! Options.
So then you choose some options.
Then you make it official.
