List server transition

Hey s2member.

I have two list servers with autoresponders in mailchimp, a free newsletter and a paid newsletter.

If a user upgrades, they get transitioned from the free newsletter to the paid newsletter. Great.

However, if they cancel/are demoted, they get put back in the free newsletter. Which is a problem because then the list starts sending them autoresponder emails to upgrade again, which is not what I want to do.

Is there any way to transition upgrades, but just remove them for downgrade? Or for downgrade, move them to another list (e.g. I could create a Ex-Members list)

Thanks!

Hi Ryan.

That’s a great question. The current s2Member doesn’t have that, so you’d need to customize it with a hack. s2Member’s codex can be found here:
http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/list_servers/c_ws_plugin__s2member_list_servers/

I hope that helps!

Cristian,

Thanks for the help. I’m looking at the codex and am a bit confused on how to code this hack. Would I be using this?

@attaches-to “add_action(“ws_plugin__s2member_during_collective_eots”);“

How could I stop the list transition on EOT and instead put in a hack to go to another mailchimp list?

I already have my s2 hacks file all set up so if you could help me with this code that’d be great.

Thanks for all the help.

Untested, but you can give this a shot please.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
( these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins )

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_before_auto_process_list_server_removals", "my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions");
function my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions($vars)
	{
		if($vars&#91;"mod_new_role"&#93; === "subscriber") // Remove, but don't transition them.
			$GLOBALS&#91;"WS_PLUGIN__"&#93;&#91;"s2member"&#93;&#91;"o"&#93;&#91;"custom_reg_auto_opt_out_transitions"&#93; = "0";
	}
?>

Jason,

Awesome, thanks. I’ll give this a try. Any idea on how I can instead transition them to another custom list? (e.g. a Deleted Subscribers list on Mailchimp so I can try to get them to sign up again with a coupon or something)

You could try something like this perhaps. So instead of disabling transitions, you would allow them to occur, but change where the User/Member ends up in this particular scenario.

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_before_auto_process_list_server_removals", "my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions");
function my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions($vars)
	{
		if($vars&#91;"mod_new_role"&#93; === "subscriber") // Transition to a special list ID.
			{
				$my_demoted_members_list_ID = "sse4Kjseo"; // MailChimp List ID here.
				$GLOBALS&#91;"WS_PLUGIN__"&#93;&#91;"s2member"&#93;&#91;"o"&#93;&#91;"level0_mailchimp_list_ids"&#93; = $my_demoted_members_list_ID;
				// ^ Updating this configuration value temporarily during this particular scenario.
			}
	}
?>
