Detect when user in trail period ?

Hi,

Whats the best way in php/shortcode to detect if a user is in a trail period before first payment is taken.

Best regards
Steve

The way I’d probably do it is check with PHP what his paid signup time is and see if today is still within the period I give for free. The documentation here may be helpful: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Content Dripping[/hilite]

Hi,
Gave it a try and didn’t seem to do what I wanted it to do as the dates “level” and “level0” where the same.

In this particular case I have made the user signup to a recurring subscription, taking the credit card details etc, but with a 30 day trial before any payment. The user can then cancel within the 30 days for no charge. So I did a test signup this morning and got, both dates the same, even though no payment has yet been taken. (using paypal)

a:2:{s:5:"level";i:1373883640;s:6:"level1";i:1373883640;}

any suggestions, currently thinking of hooking the incoming recurring payment notification and setting a flag to say a payment has been made. (If flag not set then still in trial period)

That could work.

Or you could check the level1 time and if he’s still s2member_level1 and hasn’t been domoted after 30 days (after the first payment happens).
