Registration Questions

Hello,

I am really confused with s2Member, it seemed comprehensive with its documentation but I am totally confused.

I simply want to achieve the following:

– to have the registration form on a page with membership options and the ability to pay with paypal standard, there is no need for all the other payment gateway options.

I have about 6 membership options.

– How does it work? Will the user’s account only get activated after the payment gets verified?

Your help is appreciated.

My guess is that you can create 6 different buttons (one for each available membership) and the user can just click the one they want to purchase.

The user will be sent back to the site, after the transaction, to create their account, if they don’t already have one.
If you have open registration allowed, then the member won’t be redirected to create an account (they already have one).

Would that address your situation?

Hi Cassel,

Thanks for the reply, Having 6 buttons on the page is not feasible for us.

The registration form is combined with the membership options, which looks like this:

Your answer does not address my questions, yet it touches upon each briefly, and I have figured something.

I have decided to “re-build” the registration form, either with the templates or stand alone.

The only concern now, if I take the stand-alone approach, is how to call the s2Member function that handles everything that happens after the approved paypal transaction on that page when the user returns from paypal.

Any tips are appreciated.

Unfortunately, I have never seen s2Member work with checkboxes or options like that. And if you want to use a form, you can only generate and use ONE form per page (otherwise it gets confused).

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me might give you pointers on coding more advanced stuff.
Good luck.
