Next release

Hi, I’ve noticed a lot of people requesting the ability to set fixed-date/calendar year subscriptions instead of “period of time + reg date” EOT. (In other words, every member expires on the same day.) Are there any plans to include this in the next release?

I understand that if I purchase S2Member Pro and add some custom PHP, I can set a fixed expiration date…but my client will not be able to update this every year on their own, as they are not developers. I would really like to enable them to set the expiration date through the admin UI.

Please let me know if this feature can be expected! And do you have a release date yet?

Thank you,
April

Hi April.

I’m not sure if this particular option will be available in the new s2Member being developed, but thanks for reminding us of it. I’ll add it to the feature requests list just in case!

About the date changing with the years, you can make it update dynamically using [hilite code]date('Y')[/hilite] in your hack. For example, if you wanted the date to be Dec 31st of the current year, then you could do [hilite code]strtotime(date('Y').'-12-31')[/hilite]. http://php.net/date

I hope that helps. :)

Oh right, thank you! Also, I know you’re probably sick of this one but just wanted to confirm that subscription renewal reminders are being added soon, right? These are the two things I need to convince the client to purchase. Thanks a ton!!

Ah, just saw Bruce’s article from this weekend about that hack. Still, it will be nice when this is a true feature, I think. :)

Yeah, it’ll be nice. :)
