s2member business directory plugin

I’m looking to filter business directory searches based on s2member category restrictions. I’ve traversed through the business directory core files and have noticed a few places where i could maybe filter incoming arguments dynamically but i’m having a hard time figuring out what filter or action to use along side business directory to filter the results. From what i can tell when a post is searched they use something like this
```
function search($args){
global $wpdbp;

... some $arg and $query setup here...

$query .= ' WHERE ' . apply_filters('wpbdp_search_where', $where, $args);
$query = apply_filters( 'wpbdp_search_query ', $query, $args );
return $wpdb->get_col($query);
}
```
the reason i’m editing the core files is because s2member and business directory do integrate somewhat… the only place they do not integrate is during business directories search functionaility.

From what you post I see you can use ‘wpbdp_search_where’ and ‘wpbdp_search_query’ filters to modify the search query, means to add need SQL code to restrict search by category or something else. And better use them and create a hack in “mu-plugins” dir, instead to edit core files.

Thank you for your reply, I have realized that business directory makes the listings as a custom post type. This being said the categories created are custom taxonomies and when placing the category ids into

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Category Access Restrictions

there is no change in protection. I read here that custom taxonomies are not supported. However, that was an old post. Is there any way to get custom taxonomies working for category restrictions other than tags?

I have several custom post types on my sites, with s2member level 1 protection for posts and categories set to all, and it protects all these CPTs automatically.

However, if that doesn’t work for you, you could use the URI Restrictions feature in Restriction Options.

I also have all of that enabled but I need to restrict custom taxonomies to certain levels. I have already enabled URI restrictions which is great and works 100% when you are navigating around with links. But, when you search the URI restrictions are useless. I realize editing the core files is bad practice so i have moved to try and edit the template file displaying the posts. I edited this to no luck because as I have said before the categories are a custom taxonomy…
```
<div class="listings">
        <?php
            while ( have_posts() ) {
                        the_post();
                        $this_post_id = get_the_ID();
                        $category = get_the_category( $this_post_id );

                        if(!is_permitted_by_s2member ($category->cat_ID, "category"))
                            continue;

                        echo wpbdp_render_listing(null, 'excerpt');
                        /* added to keep list of what posts are on THIS page for google map */
                        $post_ids[] = get_the_ID();
            } // end while
        ?>
```

Have you set up Alternative View Protection? That stops any of my CPTs being accessible from a search. (I just tried it again after your comment, and it is working!)

I do have alternative view protection on. Keep in mind the search being used, as I stated above, is not wordpress search functionality it is a built in search with business directory plugin

Does this help?

thats unfortunately what i’ve been banging my head against to try and get to work. i can get the custom post taxonomy terms but when checking against that function it doesn’t work. i have the exact matching IDs in the category restriction section of s2member.
```
$this_post_id = get_the_ID();
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $this_post_id, 'wpbdp_category' );
       foreach ($terms as $thisterm) {
                 if (!is_permitted_by_s2member ($thisterm->term_id, "category")){
                                continue 2;
                  }

       }
```
btw thank you for you patience and help…

In that case, I really don’t know what else to suggest unless you have the Pro version, in which case contact Pro support at http://www.s2member.com/contact/

I actually got it to work, since the URIs are setup to be the same as the terms slugs i checked it to that and now search is properly being filtered. Here is the code in case anyone else comes across the same problem…
```
<div class="listings">
        <?php
            while ( have_posts() ) {
                        the_post();
                        $this_post_id = get_the_ID();
                        $terms = wp_get_post_terms( $this_post_id, 'wpbdp_category' );
                        foreach ($terms as $thisterm) {
                            //echo $thisterm->term_id;
                            if (!is_permitted_by_s2member ($thisterm->slug, "uri")){
                                continue 2;
                            }

                        }
                        echo wpbdp_render_listing(null, 'excerpt');
                        /* added to keep list of what posts are on THIS page for google map */
                        $post_ids[] = get_the_ID();
            } // end while
        ?>

    <div class="wpbdp-pagination">
```
