Force login register- Specific Post/page acce

Hello,

What we want to achieve are two things –

1) Level 0 (Free) – If customers want to access our “Free Video” section, I want them to register. on this page – http://hackertrading.com/free-training-videos/

2) Before they buy any product, we want them to register. This is specific because all our products are on “Specific Post/Page access”. So I realize that these pages are designed so customers can purchase without login/register. But how can we force a register/login ?

3) If a customer is logged in, then of course we don’t want them to register again. What are the cookies setup in s2member so the system recognizes returning members.

Thanks a lot
Hari

I have an update on this question – I restricted the Free Videos using “Page Restrictions”. So for 12 free videos, I restricted 12 pages because each free video is on its own page. But now, if itry to access one page, I have to login, and then if try to access another page, its asking to login again. This seems like its a cookie issue, but my browser is et for cookies. My cookies are working correctly on all other sites. How do we fix this ? It seems silly that a user has to login 12 times to see 12 free videos.

The second question still remains – how do we ensure login / register before a Buy transaction. Just to clarify – the Buy operation is being done a Specific Post/Page access product. This by default allows purchases without registration. But we want to force a login or registration.

Thanks a lot

Let me know if this article helps with that: Knowledge Base » Logged in but am considered logged out

The Specific Post/Page restriction is not compatible with the Levels restriction. What do you want to force login for, viewing the pages protected with Spec Page restriction? Or to purchase access to those pages?

If you’re going to require registration, then you can sell those individual pages with custom capabilities instead of Spec Page restrictions. Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

To create a free registration form in a page, you can use the free registration pro-form: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite].

To add a login form, as an option for those already registered, you could use the s2Member Pro Login Widget. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Pro Login Widget (via PHP)[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Cristian. I noticed that it is a Paypal Pro registration form. Does this mean we need to have Paypal Pro. We want to avoid using Paypal Pro. Pls clarify, much appreciated
Thanks

Hello Hari,

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Eduan,
Thanks for your help
Hari

If you don’t use PayPal at all and haven’t configured the integration for it, the free registration form may give a warning about this.

Just enter fake credentials and the warning will go away, but remember to update it with real ones if you start using PayPal services. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details[/hilite] ;)
