S2member pro form compatible with Buddypress

Hello, I’m thinking of upgrading to S2 member pro so I can use the pro forms features.

I have a buddypress site and I need to be able to sort my members in different directories depending on what they have chosen during the registration phase, (for example teachers, students, etc).

Currently I’m using the Buddypress User Account Type lite plugin to accomplish that, so my question is will this plugin be compatible if I use the s2member pro forms for the registration process?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Jaime.

No, BuddyPress fields don’t integrate into the s2Member pro-forms, I’m afraid. :/

I see, one solution for me would be to have a set of users register trough the regular buddypress registration form with one set of fields and another set of user registering form trough the s2member pro from with other set of registration fields. Is it possible to have these two different registration options with the pro version?

Also is there a way to list users registering trough the s2member pro form on a page or list so users can view other members profile?

appreciate all the help.

Please let me know if the scenario previously explained works with the pro version.

Basically what im trying to do is to have two set of registration procedures with my buddypress site, teachers signing up trough pro form and students signing up trough the regular buddypress registration process. These forms would have different fields that would show in the users buddypress member profile.

Is this possible?

The second question I have is there a way to display users that have signed up trough the s2member pro from on a list, kind of a directory of members with links to their profile page?

Sorry for being impatient im on on a deadline with this school project and need to know if I should get the pro version or look for a different solution.

Thanks for the help,

Jaime

Hi Jaime,

In Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields there’s a section called “Integrate Custom Registration/Profile Fields with BuddyPress?”. You could try not integrating s2Member Custom Fields with BuddyPress (i.e., leaving those checkboxes unchecked) and that might allow you to have separate registration fields for BuddyPress and Pro-Form registrations. However, the best way to find out is to experiment and test it.

We don’t have experience integrating s2Member with 3rd Party Plugins like Buddypress User Account Type Lite, so it’s not possible for us to offer specific advice.

Regarding a member directory: s2Member does not have any member directory features, however this thread offers some alternative suggestions.

Hi Raam, thanks for taking the time to answer but it kind of confused me..its kind of hard for me to test it since I don’t have the pro version.

The ability to have a registration form with S2member pro-form, and another with the regular buddypress registration form with completely different set of fields would be the main reason for me getting the pro version.

So I would like to know if that’s possible with s2member pro before buying it.

Sincerely, Jaime

Hi Jaime,

I just tested this with my local test installation (using s2Member Pro) and after I installed the BuddyPress plugin I was able to register separately with BuddyPress (using the /register/ page that was created by BuddyPress) and also register separately with a Pro-Form (created with s2Member in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms).

So, you should have no problem pointing people at the two different registrations with s2Member Pro and BuddyPress.
