Credit towards subscriptions?

I am creating a news site where I hope individuals will submit news. I would like them to get credit for each news that is published with their name. Then I would like to credit them $1 towards their subscription for each credit they have. Can this do anything like that?

Thanks,
Janell

Thank you for your inquiry.

No, s2Member currently cannot support this functionality. You’d need to add this in with Custom Code to get this to work correctly.

I’d recommend using a user_option value to store this. Like this:

update_user_option('user_current_credits', /* However many credits they should have */ 4);

See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_user_option

You could then use this value with some processes on your Membership Options Page to dynamically set the price of your package.

That’s about as far as we can go with custom code. If you need further assistance, we recommend http://jobs.wordpress.net, or another freelance web site where WordPress® experts are offering their expertise through a bid on your project.
