Upgrading between free levels – Pro Forms

Hi,

Is there an upgrade form available in Pro Forms? Current ones only appear to support new registrations.

I have two free membership levels (0 and 1) and want to be able to display a form in the level 0 member area page that they can upgrade (for free) to level 1. This form will just capture their postal address details.
i.e. level 0’s register with name and email address for access, they can then upgrade for free to level 1 by providing their home address in the members area.

I have tried using the pro forms shortcode for free registration and changing level to be 1 in the shortcode but this asks for a new user name, email etc. – it appears to support new registrations only.

Is there a way of prepopulating the name, username, email etc and hiding them from the form completely for example?

Hi Lee.

No, there isn’t a free upgrade pro-form yet, the free registration one is for registrations only.

If you want to give free upgrades, you’d have to create a customization where loading a certain URL would upgrade their account.

These should help:
Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP
Knowledge Base » Hacking s2Member® Via Hooks/Filters

To edit their profiles you could show them to a profile form. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Member Profile Modifications[/hilite]

Maybe you could have your hack check if the person edited the profile and filled out the field you want to require for the upgrade.

You can check the custom profile fields with [hilite mono]get_user_field[/hilite]. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Cristián,

I’ll do this via a web form ‘thank you’ page then.

When I’m performing the upgrade/role change via php, is there a function I can access at the same time that would initiate the list server transitions as defined in the Mailchimp integration setup?
i.e. take them off a Mail Chimp list A and put them onto List B.

Regards

Lee

Well, first enable the transitions here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› Automate Unsubscribes/Opt-Outs[/hilite]

Then you’d use [hilite mono]process_list_servers[/hilite]. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/list_servers/c_ws_plugin__s2member_list_servers/#src_doc_process_list_servers%28%29
