Automatic Upgrades

Greetings,

I’m looking to set up a system that automatically upgrades peoples membership to the next level, up-to a maximum level we set. I know we could do something similar with content dripping, but this isn’t going to achieve the same thing we wish to do.

I’m curious to know if we’re able to use content dripping, to then upgrade membership over time. Something like this:

If Level #1 && Paid Membership for Level #1 >= 30 Days then

{ Upgrade to Level #2 using Php}

If Else Level #2 && Paid Membership for Level #2 >=  30 days then

{ Upgrade to Level #3 using PhP}

If Else Level #3 && Paid Membership for Level #3 >=  30 days then

{ Upgrade to Level #4 using PhP}

If this is at all possible, that would be great.

Please Note; We’re not looking to upgrade their monthly fee when they upgrade their membership level. We’re doing it purely as we wish to offer personalised content based on levels, rather then duration, and we’re looking to have people on different membership levels on different mailing lists.

Hey there.

Sure, you could do something like that.

See:
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Content Dripping[/hilite]
Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP

This would only affect their access, not their subscription. The subscription is handled by the payment gateway and the changes you make to the user role don’t affect it.

I hope that helps. :)

In the example listed on that page, I see this section:

if (s2member_registration_time ($user->ID) <= $_10_days_ago)

Is is possible to input a Paid Registration Time rather then a Registration Time, so something like this:

if (s2member_paid_registration_time ($user->ID) <= $_10_days_ago)

Update:

After doing some testing with this, I was wondering if I could get some help in building this up to do exactly what I want, because a few issues have arisen from this.

Firstly, it is setting my Administration Account to the appropriate levels during the processing, and I was wondering if there is a way to prevent that.

Secondly, I was wondering if I could maybe have this done multiple times. So, every 3 months, the user is updated into the next level up to a maximum level.

We have 4 levels that we want people to go through, and on the 5th level we want them to stop being promoted every 3 months. Is this at all possible?

Any update I can get on this matter?

Is it possible to get help with this matter? It is pretty vital to my website.

For example, for the first upgrade from Level 1 to 2, it’d be something like this:

[hilite pre_code]
= 30) {
$user = new WP_User(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ID);
$user->set_role('s2member_level2');
}
?>
[/hilite]

There are useful s2Member constants (like [hilite mono]S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS[/hilite] and [hilite mono]S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ID[/hilite] used above) documented here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants[/hilite].

I hope that helps. :)
