Fixed subscription dates possible?

Hi,

I’m wondering if it is possible to set subscription to fixed dates?

For example, there is only one kind of subscription, the active/current year -> jan 1st 2012 – dec 31st 2012, jan 1st 2013 – dec 31st 2013, and so on.

If member signs up in february/april/october/”whatever”, member subscription runs until dec 31st the active year and then member get a mail of renewal. Subscriptions must follow the fiscal year unfortunately. Possible to do in any way?

One week before december 31st, renewal messages goes out to _all_ members, no matter when they signed up.

There are 3 different access levels, but everyone has the same subscription, just have access to different pages.

If this i possible S2 might be of interest for customer!
Thank you for response,
Emily

Hi Emily,

Yes, this is possible with s2Member, but it will require that you calculate the current date and then set the length of the subscription to the number of days remaining in the year.

The s2Member shortcodes have attributes that define how many days the subscription is for and you can dynamically change those attributes. With a little bit of PHP code, you can calculate how many days are remaining in the current year and then dynamically set the attributes of the s2Member shortcode so that the button or form that shows up will create a subscription for that length (so that the subscription ends on the last day of the year).

For more information on dynamic shortcode attributes, you may be interested in this thread.

s2Member does not currently have a renewals or reminders feature, though that feature is coming in the next major release of the software. Until then, you can use something like AWeber or MailChimp to send a reminder email to all your members. s2Member integrates with both of those email services.
