New subscription not replacing the old one

I wanted to update the other thread on this but it was automatically closed.

I tried using the shordcode for a pro-form inside some php code so i can use the hack to get the particular timestamp i need. I know the hack works but i need to incorporate it in the shortcode, and that is where i am stuck, since i dont know enough php syntax to do it properly.

Here is what Raam suggested:

1.<?php2.	$my_ccaps="example";3.	echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-PayPal-Pro-Form ccaps=" . $my_ccaps . ".... /]'); 4.?>

Here is what i have:

<?php
	$my_ccaps="wm<?php echo date('Ym'); ?>,element,forum";
	echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form modify="1" level="1" ccaps=" . $my_ccaps . " desc="Element Creation Tutorial - GOLD" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="scrapbookcampus.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="15" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]
?>

In short, if i had been using the php version of a Paypal button, i would have had ccaps = “wm,element,forum” but with the code above, i get an error with an unexpected T_STRING. I have no clue what it is, therefore i have no clue how to fix it. I suspect it is probably a tiny silly error. Can you see where i made a mistake?

BTW, if you can merge this with the initial thread here: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/help-new-subscription-not-replacing-old-one/page/2/ it might make the thread more logical for anyone searching.

Hi Cassel,

Try this instead:

<?php
	$my_ccaps= 'wm' . date('Ym') . ',element,forum';
	echo do_shortcode('&#91;&#91;s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form modify="1" level="1" ccaps="'. $my_ccaps . '" desc="Element Creation Tutorial - GOLD" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="scrapbookcampus.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="15" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /&#93;&#93;');
?>

Are those periods and spaces supposed to be there??

Hi Cassel,

Are those periods and spaces supposed to be there??

Yes, when you’re putting a function’s or variable’s data into a PHP string/variable, you want to concatenate the function/variable with the other parts of the variable/string. That’s what those ‘.’s are.

I still get the same error message with the T_STRING while copying your code.

Can you please copy the exact error that you’re getting?

Here:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/creas1/public_html/scrapbookcampus.com/wp-content/themes/headway-2013/library/core/functions.php(90) : eval()’d code on line 142

Hi Cassel,

There are no syntax errors in that code as-is. I suspect that the problem lies in that you have the tags, you do not need to have these tags when you’re putting the code in.

Does that fix your issue?

How about this complete code:

<?php
	$my_ccaps= 'wm' . date('Ym') . ',element,forum';
	echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form modify="1" level="1" ccaps="'. $my_ccaps . '" desc="Element Creation Tutorial - GOLD" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="scrapbookcampus.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="15" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]
?>

Hi Cassel,

You don’t have the ending ‘); on the third line, but otherwise it should be O.K.

I added the ‘); at the end, but i get the exact same error.

Ah, I’m sorry.

I got an error while I was posting one of my last replies. Try just adding:

$my_ccaps= 'wm' . date('Ym') . ',element,forum';
	echo do_shortcode('[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form modify="1" level="1" ccaps="'. $my_ccaps . '" desc="Element Creation Tutorial - GOLD" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="scrapbookcampus.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="15" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]');

My suspicion is that this error is being caused by the fact that you have the PHP tags in your code. Try taking them out.

I tried replacing this:
$my_ccaps= ‘wm’ . date(‘Ym’) . ‘,element,forum’;

by just this:
$my_ccaps= ‘element,forum’;

and i still get the error, so it is not in the function itself that the problem lies.

Checked with my developper and it seems that the theme does not allow such code to work. Any other way to have a php code for a Pro-form instead of a shortcode?

Hello,

Unfortunately I don’t believe there is any other way to call a Pro-Form. You must use the shortcode.

Maybe something to suggest for a new version? I might not be the only one who could use that.

We will keep that in mind. Thank you.
