Access to another site and vice-versa?…

I have an s2member-protected site integrated with CCBill. I’m building a second site (this will also use WordPress and s2member), and a 3rd site is CCBill, but not s2member/Wordpress. It just uses the standard CCBill .htaccess method. The plan is to tie all three sites together – join any of the 3 sites, get access to the other 2 with the same user/password.

Will this work? If not, can it be made to work? If not, suggestions?

Hi Shawn.

There isn’t a way to do this out of the box, you’ll need to create a hack to achieve it.

These may help:
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Signup Notifications[/hilite]
Knowledge Base » Building An API Notification Handler
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API[/hilite]
Knowledge Base » Remote User Status (Custom API)

Or maybe there are plugins to synch users between installations. I haven’t checked.

Thanks Cristián – before I dive into a hack like this, I’ll point out that I’m a web designer, not a programmer. With an understanding of HTML/CSS and some limited PHP, are any of these hacks within the grasp of someone with that level of knowledge, or am I going to have to hire someone to handle this?

Shawn

I can’t really say. It depends on what your limited PHP understanding is.

I’d suggest that you try hacking it and if it’s above you, then hire someone. Trying to figure it out, even if you don’t succeed, will surely teach you new things that will be useful to you in the future.

Can I request someone from the forums with S2member experience who’s capable of this to contact me about this, or is that against forum policy to seek out someone here for any custom work?

This is a pretty important issue.

No, we have no problem with that, but not many may see it. What you could try is posting the job in a freelancers website like jobs.wordpress.net, elance.com, odesk.com or freelancer.com. :)

Okay, thanks – I just imagined it was wise to start where people know s2member. Seems that’s a big piece. I’ll start with your short-list suggestions and see what happens. Thanks.
