Custom pay pal subscription button Huh

Hi all, Just a quick question we have a custom pay pal subscription button ,

The s2member system works ok if create a subscription button from within s2member

but if we make a custom subscription button and check out it dose not display the screen for the user to create the account after successful payment or even create a login.

, any ideas on what i have to do to get s2member to create the WordPress user account ?

Here is my button that works , what is missing ? as i have compared both

(I am logged out of admin and the payment button is not a protected also the pages is within the blog and clear the cookies are clear)

<input type="hidden" name="invoice" value="” />
<input type="hidden" name="on0" value="” />
<input type="hidden" name="os1" value="” />
<input type="hidden" name="on1" value="” />
<input type="hidden" name="os1" value="” />

<input type="hidden" name="p1" value="”>

Hi webboy.

Sorry, the code didn’t come through right. You need to post it between [hilite mono]<code>[/hilite] tags. It’s better to use the shortcode, though, because then the button can be encrypted.

I’m not sure I understood what the problem is. You have the button and it works fine, the person goes pay to PayPal and then comes back but can’t register?

Thanks, webboy.

So you’re using that button, do you have a PHP execution plugin installed? Otherwise the PHP in that button’s code won’t work.

And what exactly is the problem? I’m not sure from the first post. Are users checking out successfully but then not being able to register in your site? Are they not being allowed to register or they aren’t taken to the registration page?

Make sure you have logging enabled, so we can get more data from the transactions to help determine the problem, please. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

The code is with in a WordPress template file.

The problem is that the account is not created after a successfully transaction (eg dose not display the account creation form);

i have tested this with a s2member subscription button that works ok

so there must be a discrepancy with the above code

That code works fine, haven’t had reports that say otherwise. I suggest that you re-upload that file from your zip.

What are you having problems with, if the subscription button is working fine? A buy-now one? Could you post the shortcode you’re using?

Do you have logging enabled to see what happens after checkout? I want to see if s2Member is logging any errors that would prevent the person from registering. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

ok creating one now , to see what the problem is

The Message reads

I see. Well, the log si quite clear about the reason. This is a problem with PayPal, really, there isn’t much we can do about it.

Since s2Member doesn’t have the info yet, it has to wait until later to get it and then send the confirmation email with the registration link for the user.

If you enter an amount, even 1 cent, for the initial term, then it may solve it. What’s your shortcode?

no this is a custom html / php form, is there any way can i get his going

i dont use the short code as i have modified the trial period to count down to the end of the month

is there any other way i can produce this as i have never seen this work by me waiting for the email to arrive from s2memeber

If you enter an amount, even 1 cent, for the initial term, then it may solve it. What’s your shortcode? (i have it at 1c)
\’amount1\’ => \’0.01\’, <<

I see. Well, you can adjust the initial term in the shortcode too. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

If you never got the emails, I’d test it removing the trial/initial term and doing a 1 cent buy-now to see if you get the confirmation email then. If not, you have a problem there that needs fixing too. Knowledge Base » Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems

I hope that helps!

Hi

I see the problem between two
with the short code you encrypted the paypal_return path hence why it accepts the user registrations immediately and with the HTML code it fail

xxx/?s2member_paypal_return=1&s2member_paypal_return_tra=fnIyOlFSa3pPUG1obVlmc1NMTDZNNGpheGJZd1R5dThOYW9yOmZhYjZjYTA5MTZjNzhiZTdiMjJmOWI2ODVhZWUzNTVlfDFgTAgRpZs2mVW4cgGSiDgbWVkHkfA4Zom88YNmk8mtztIcAZB1lj9i64c6fwkj_eX9t4NWwAAYspMllwj5WUYMWIRPwI2NTf1wV8IkcVy_7UTsbMJg-EW4_DMw6L0ZV0qzcJoC5wrBR09sH_DPo9AWFVY1a22sJV57KigawFXHoJ4s9jTQeloUYNQICir9mmTrgC4NjisY89oV_cugvdpccraf8I2Fcci-dLlT4bcOzJIn5etZ8UQjTRg5pxZpCEfgbdsDsbfeFekJ2iWN4NJi6XLY0YZWiXy2acBebN3TneHXZBJ0mQiJMOLWwrs607tZ-YwHqbWrscxJCDujb61_aZHWiWnG-etsoBSwB6WYJKm1m0cs9neIWQKBAWK6Cw

is there a way i can call the return path encrypted vir php

You can see the return URL here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® PDT/Auto-Return Integration[/hilite]

In the button’s template, you can see the hidden input for it too:

[hilite pre_code]

[/hilite]

I hope that helps.

What the function call to generate encrypted code below as the html dose not

I just ran a search for [hilite mono]s2member_paypal_return_tra[/hilite] in the files. Look at line 222 in [hilite mono]s2member/includes/classes/sc-paypal-button-in.inc.php[/hilite].

What else get passed in to the encryption ?

and get the result

Hi Cristián, ok i manged to get the encryption working by using the short code but i need the trial date work using my php code (this just calculates how many days to the end of the month)

[s2Member-PayPal-Button

ps="paypal" 
lc="" 
cc="GBP" 
dg="0" 
ns="1" 
custom="x.com" 
ta="0.01" 
tp="<?php $z = date('t',gmdate('Y-m-d')) - gmdate('d'); echo $z; ?>" 
tt="D" 
ra="0.01" 
rp="1" 
rt="M"

Could you post your shortcode with the PHP?

I tried that PHP just now and it outputs 14, so it works fine.

please post your result forum

Trial period dose not work and you can have more than 7 Days for a Trial period (that’s your bug)

I unencrypted the info to see what you was passing and managed to hack the HTML vars for the paypal payment to pass the correct info

x,com?s2member_paypal_return=1
&s2member_paypal_return_tra%5Bta%5D=0
&amp;s2member_paypal_return_tra%5Btp%5D=0  <<<<<<< 0 when the value was set 7 (NOT WORKING)

TP ignored in the array and my I inserted the php value from the calc date ito pass to pay pal

Problem solved and i hope you have this fixed on the next update … thanks for the help Cristián keep up the good work…

What version of s2Member are you using? The trial/initial term limits for the PayPal buttoms have recently been updated in the release 120514.

(s2Member Framework) PayPal® Buttons. Restrictions limiting the number of days/weeks/months/years allowed in recurring periods for a PayPal® Button have been increased. Max days was increased from 7 to 90, weeks remains at 52 max, months is up from 12 to 24 max; years increased from 1, up to 5 years max.

So this shortcode should be fine for your need:

[[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Bronze Member / description and pricing details here." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="GBP" dg="0" ns="1" custom="x.om" ta="0.01" tp="<?php echo (date('t') - date('j')); ?>" tt="D" ra="0.01" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]]

ahhh ha

Version 120309

so would that of fixed the the problem

Yeah. Please update to the latest release. :)

Hi Cristián,

For the ability add PHP in the short codes is this only available in the pro versions as its just echoing the text and not parsing the the code.
