Lock subdomains, non WP folders etc.

I intend to develop a separate front-end that doesn’t involve wordpress.

Can I easily send post-payment callbacks to this separate script?
Can I get a2 member details from this script? Just a currently logged in username would suffice.
Also what security issues could there be doing things this way?

If you can link me to some code and/or examples that would be great.

Thank you.

Hi Jake,

For sending post-payment callbacks, you’ll want to use an s2Member hook (probably one of the s2Member PayPal hooks).

s2Member currently uses the WordPress user base and authentication system. s2Member users are WordPress users with a specific role (one of the s2Member levels). Integrating external scripts essentially involves including the necessary files to load the WordPress plugin framework.

For integrating external scripts with s2Member, please see Knowledge Base » Protecting Non-WordPress Content with s2Member. You’ll also want to take a look at Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals.
