Hide uploads from logged in users with conditions

#1 · July 10, 2022, 4:52 pm

Hi,

I’m trying to complete the behaviour of the functionality “hide_uploads_from_guests” by adding another case :
If a user is logged in but does not have a special permission (thanks to a membership), so he can’t see the uploaded files.

That is working in ‘forum-uploads.php’, after this IF

if (!is_user_logged_in() && $this->asgarosforum->options['hide_uploads_from_guests'])

by adding the following ELSEIF (including the permission check) :

elseif (is_user_logged_in() && $this->asgarosforum->options['hide_uploads_from_guests'] && [[SPECIAL-USER-PERMISSION]]) {

$uploadedFiles .= '<li>'.__('Please <a href="/link-to-upgrade">UPGRADE</a>.', 'asgaros-forum').'</li>';

Instead of the uploaded files, it displays “Please UPGRADE” with a link to the upgrade page.

—

In this case, the problem is that every uploaded files are hidden, even those uploaded by the current user. The current user should be able to see his own uploaded files.

I tried this, by adding in the ELSEIF another condition : When the current user browses another user’s posts, he can’t see the uploaded files.

elseif (is_user_logged_in() && $this->asgarosforum->options['hide_uploads_from_guests'] && [[SPECIAL-USER-PERMISSION]] && (get_current_user_id() != $author_id=$post->post_author)) { 

$uploadedFiles .= '<li>'.__('Please <a href="/link-to-upgrade">UPGRADE</a>.', 'asgaros-forum').'</li>';

But it does not work. I guess the code is incorrect :

&& (get_current_user_id() != $author_id=$post->post_author)

Could you help me please ?

How to show to the current user only his own uploaded files when he browses the forum ? Ideally just by editing the ELSEIF I’ve described.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Al.

The full function for the context :

public function show_uploaded_files($post_id, $post_uploads) {
  $path = $this->upload_path.$post_id.'/';
      $url = $this->upload_url.$post_id.'/';
      $uploads = maybe_unserialize($post_uploads);
      $uploadedFiles = '';
  $output = '';

      if (!empty($uploads) && is_dir($path)) {
    // Generate special message instead of file-list when hiding uploads for guests.
    
    if (!is_user_logged_in() && $this->asgarosforum->options['hide_uploads_from_guests']) {
      $uploadedFiles .= '<li>'.__('You need to login to have access to uploads.', 'asgaros-forum').'</li>';
    } 


                     elseif... (see code above)


                     else {
      foreach ($uploads as $upload) {
                if (is_file($path.wp_basename($upload))) {
          $file_extension = strtolower(pathinfo($path.wp_basename($upload), PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
          $imageThumbnail = ($this->asgarosforum->options['uploads_show_thumbnails'] && $file_extension !== 'pdf') ? wp_get_image_editor($path.wp_basename($upload)) : false;

          $uploadedFiles .= '<li class="uploaded-file">';

          if ($imageThumbnail && !is_wp_error($imageThumbnail)) {
            $uploadedFiles .= '<a href="'.$url.utf8_uri_encode($upload).'" target="_blank"><img class="resize" src="'.$url.utf8_uri_encode($upload).'" alt="'.$upload.'"></a>';
          } else {
            $uploadedFiles .= '<a href="'.$url.utf8_uri_encode($upload).'" target="_blank">'.$upload.'</a>';
          }

          $uploadedFiles .= '</li>';
                }
            }
    }

    if (!empty($uploadedFiles)) {
              $output .= '<strong class="uploaded-files-title">'.__('Uploaded files:', 'asgaros-forum').'</strong>';
              $output .= '<ul>'.$uploadedFiles.'</ul>';
    }
      }

  return $output;
  }

I hope there’s nothing to change into the ‘ELSE’…

Thank you for your help.
Al.

Hi @asgaros (and @qualmy91 as you’re a strong Asgaros Forum partner / contributor), if you have any concrete idea how to do, I’m available to discuss it. Tschüss !
