Brilliant :-) I haven’t used these custom roles before and didn’t want to inadvertantly break s2member!

And what would happen when their subscription ran out? i.e. how would it know to demote to a role that was still had author role capability?

Yes but what happens when their subscription changes?

I’ll try to simplify… I want to list one of my subscribers as an author of a post… how do I do this?

No mod_security on the server (I manage a dedicated).

I’ll take another look at the IPN and use a redirect for it.

Could you ask if that args packet looks right for a new subscription post vars call?

the S2member stores the domain at the front of the custom field. For older IPN’s from Your Members, the custom field does not contain the domain at the start and hence the server host check fails.

Here is an array of txn_type, item_number, custom fields – firstly a current s2member one

'txn_type' => 'subscr_cancel',
'item_number' => '3',
'custom' => 'www.newdomain.co.uk',

and now an older one

'txn_type' => 'subscr_payment',
'item_number' => '314',
'custom' => '14_3_GBP_2049_858ba4765e53c712ef672a9570474b1d_D_subscriber_78.143.213.237_0',

or

'txn_type' => 'subscr_payment',
'item_number' => 'buy_subscription_7_2678',
'custom' => '14_3_GBP_1808_858ba4765e53c712ef672a9570474b1d_D_subscriber_90.218.6.193_0',
 

The central IPN script would require that I change the url on each transaction which I am unable to do. Instead I have rewritten the requests to point at the s2member url and forced a match on server host.

I am occasionally getting error messages now that read

0 => 'IPN received on: Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:42:32 am UTC',
1 => 's2Member POST vars verified through a POST back to PayPal®.',
2 => 's2Member originating domain ( `$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]` ) validated.',
3 => 'Ignoring this IPN request. The `txn_type/status` does NOT require any action on the part of s2Member.',

alhtough some IPNs with the same txn_type and status are going through.

My concern now is the 4020 codes coming back from paypal when a new subscription is going through. The error suggests POST vars could not be verified but the IPN system is happy verifiying post vars with the same PDT.

I’m putting in some more logging and testing again but if you have any experience of new subs going to the ‘grey’ page with the ‘post vars could not be verified’ I would really appreciate some ideas..

Jason?

I’m still getting an error when people subscribe (post vars problem) and the error when IPN updates come through (non matching item numbers). As time goes by the amount of manual fixes I’m going to have to make is going up (and not being able to export the whole database for analysis isn’t helping – any ideas on that as well?)

Yes I’ve gone through this already. What about the question in the ps i.e. item_number not matching current system expectations?

What does your IPN log say about the transactions? Could you quote the entry for one of the transactions with the problem? (x’ing out any private info, e.g. emails)
