[Plugin: User Access Manager] Feature Request: the_content

I was wondering if the_content hook stil works with UAM and it does not as a like it.

Why am I asking: If you write a plugin, that does some custom content rendering using this hook you don’t want this to effect access issues. But actually UAM overrides the content of a post when no access is granted. So it depends which plugin is ‘faster’.

For example, imagine some plugin code like

add_filter('the_content', 'myplugin_the_content');
function myplugin_the_content($content){
  return "my custom output";
}

If a user has no access to a post there will most likely show “my custom output” up though!

I am not sure how to fix this problem nicely. Maybe UAM can suppress the ‘the_content’ filter for posts with no access…

A solution that you can implement in your third party plugin is the following:

add_filter('the_content', 'myplugin_the_content');
function myplugin_the_content($content){
    global $post;
    global $userAccessManager;
    $access = true;
    if (isset($userAccessManager)) {
        $uamAccessHandler = $userAccessManager->getAccessHandler();
        $access = $uamAccessHandler -> checkObjectAccess($post->post_type, $post->ID);
    }
    //if UAM says access denied, do not continue!
    if(!$access) return $content;

    //otherwise go on with you processing
    return "my custom output";
}
