How can I set ap_user_can_answer to false conditionally?
I want to add some conditions in functions.php to limit some functionality. One thing I want to do is hide answer form if a condition is met. I found function ap_user_can_answer() but having a hard time making it work in functions.php. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Rahul, we use membership plugin. There are several types of membership. Membership plugin has a function ms_has_membership(X) and it returns true if user has membership and false if he doesn’t. What I want to do is disable answer box if user does not have proper membership level. I was successful at disabling comments and ask page. But I can’t figure out answer box.
Disable AnswerBox? you really mean disable theme?
No, sorry for not clarifying. WYSIWYG editor that is used to submit answer. I want to disable it, that’s why I was trying to use ap_user_can_answer() function.
Added a filter in ap_user_can_answer, use it to override the function.
Thanks Rahul. I updated the file from Github, but I can’t get it to work. Am I missing something?
function membershipAnsBox() {
if(!ms_has_membership(459)){
return false;
}else{ return true; }
}
add_filter( ‘ap_user_can_answer’, ‘membershipAnsBox’ );
The !ms_has_membership(459) condition works, if I simply echo something it does show. But I can’t get false to work.Thanks.
Hey Rahul, just wanted to follow up on this.
Tell us what you are trying to achieve.
