Bruce,

Thanks. Then I assume that both you and Eduan are correct and the functionality discussed in this topic (independent custom capabilities) WILL BE included with the next major version (or next generation) of S2 Member, but not in the “current” version.

Thanks,

Brian Johnson

Eduan,

I am familiar with the screenshot that you provided. Unless I misunderstand, it does not address the problem. The EOT behavior above implies that when any one of the multiple, independent subscriptions is cancelled or expires, any (all?) of the custom capabilities for that user will be removed, not just the custom capability associated with the specific EOT event. In addition, the user would be downgraded to level zero, which would also prohibit them from accessing their other independent subscriptions.

This is not the desired behavior for multiple independent subscriptions, each of which would require level one access, and have their own independent custom capabilities.

The desired behavior would be for the user to remain a level one (assuming they had other active subscriptions with independent custom capabilities) and to retain all of their custom capabilities, EXCEPT the one related to the specific EOT event.

I hope that makes sense. The language in the screenshot suggests that the user will lose all custom capabilities and be downgraded to level zero when any one subscription has an EOT event.

Unless I am mistaken, this does not solve the problem; it does not handle EOT events for each subscription with separate custom capabilities independently.

Please let me know if this requires any further clarification or if I misunderstand the current EOT behavior for S2 Member.

Eduan (and other forum members),

I reviewed the other forum topic at the link you provided and it confirmed the S2 problem I described above. S2 Member Framework allows for the sale and configuration of multiple subscriptions with “independent” capabilities, but any single cancellation/EOT event for any of the subscriptions appears to terminate all capabilities for that user (and also appears to downgrade that user to level 0). I am a S2 Pro customer, but I am using currently using standard PayPal buttons with custom capabilities for subscriptions.

Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to implement a custom code solution, so please bring this issue to Jason’s attention and ask him if this flexibility could be provided in the future. It seems that all of your customers using custom capabilities would need to limit cancellation/EOT events to the specific subscription (and custom capabilities) being terminated.

Please let me know if you come up with a solution to this problem. In the interim, I do not see any option for using multiple custom capabilities with S2 Member.

Thanks,

Brian Johnson

Bruce,

Thanks, the screenshots helped. I will install the software and begin experimenting with the interface. That should help me get up to speed.

Thanks,

Brian Johnson
