Hello All,

I'm trying to sort out the best way to do this. I have a client that wants to manage two types of clients.. "businesses" and "consumers" where consumers will have different access levels where the level will determine the content they will have access to.

Kind of like in phpBB where you can setup different types of users and show forums based on the user group permissions.

Are there any plugins that will do this in WordPress or is WP not a good option for this type of project?

Thanks in advance!

Nick
 


nick, it depends on how advanced you want this. They have user roles which allow you to restrict certain pages by access level, but in a realistic situation, this isn't enough. I just recently developed almost the same exact thing as a custom wordpress plugin.

If you simply need to restrict them such as: Page A, B, C everyone can see, D, E ,F customers can see, G, H, I only Businesses can see, you can try downloading a roles plugin. If you need a bit more customized, feel free to send me a PM and I can give you a quote on a custom plugin to fit your needs.
 
Cool Jack I might do that. I'm in "re-searching" mode right now. If I can't find anything that will fit our needs i'll come your way :)

Here's the basic concept. It's a job / training site for a very specific niche market.

The businesses can login and post jobs available and buy certain training packages (in bulk lets say) which they can then assign to different users (kinda like Skype Business Control Panel).

The consumers can login and look for jobs, post their resume and sign-up for training on their own, setup which business employs them (this is so the business can assign them training). There is a monthly and yearly consumer account, so we need the ability to disable them when time runs out.

Why Drupal vs Joomla vs Mambo vs WordPress?
