Invitation Code Content Access - How To - Limit Codes to Four Digits
Limiting Codes to Four Digits
Quick Read
- You can switch between codes with four digits or long ones.
- It's not possible to use long codes when the four-digits code mode is on.
What is This Feature
It's possible to switch between two types of code:
- Long codes
- Four-digit codes
This feature was added in version 1.2.4. This mode causes some majors changes and this article will address them.
Settings
Head to Admin Dashboard → Invitation Code Content Access → Settings → General tab.
Only three settings are relevant to us, you can find them under the Code Specifications section: 
- Enable four digits invitation code - Codes will have four digits only. They are not case-sensitive. As such, abc1 is the same as ABC1.
- Show prefix before four digits codes - If enabled, four-digit codes created sequentially can have prefixes.
- Example without prefix: 0000, 0001
- Example with prefix: seq0000, seq0001
Prefix Enabled Changes Access Code Box
If enabled, the field "Enter prefix" will be shown too. For the code seq0000, the user will have to input seq 0 0 0 0, as shown:
- Four digits invitation code pattern - Only works if "Enable four digits invitation code" is enabled. You can choose which characters will be included:
- Numbers and letters (0-9 and A-Z)
- Numbers only (0-9)
- Letters only (A-Z)
What Happens When You Turn On Four-Digit Codes
- New codes will be generated with four characters only
- The code box will change and ask for four digits only
- Codes with more than four digits WILL NOT work
What Happens When You Turn Off Four-Digit Codes
This is important.
- New codes will be generated with multiple characters
- The code box will revert back to original
- Codes created during Four Digits Mode (with only four characters) WILL work
TIP: Choosing What Codes The Access Form Will Request
You can change the Content Access Form so that it asks either the long codes or the four-digit codes.
To do so apply the shortcode [cmicca_access_code] with the view parameter.
-
[cmicca_access_code view=four]- The form will ask for long codes -
[cmicca_access_code view=four]- The form will ask for codes with four digits
