Hi Jim,

You may also want to make sure your server’s settings are set up correctly. If you could run this Server Check Tool that would be great. Also, if you are contacting your web host, please verify that there is nothing special going on with your server’s file_put_contents() function, as that is what s2Member is using to store logs.

On another note, it’s possible that your server’s configuration are not set up to allow PHP to edit files. If nothing else seems to help, you may want to check that.

Let us know how that goes. :-)

Hi there,

In the meantime, you can use the hack I posted to do this as well through PHP:

Hi Bill,

Sorry about the confusion.

This is a pretty advanced hack so I had only put up the basics originally to keep it simple. However, I now believe that it does make more sense to just list out everything that should be done.

Hi Bob,

My very shallow PHP experience gets me ~almost~ where I want to be. I need a little help getting the rest of the way.

Goal: issue an email to a user when an EOT demotion occurs.

I’ve gotten as far as seeing the action occur and extracting all the variables available. Yet, I haven’t been successful in correctly addressing the ones I want. I’ve been doing this by trial and error, grabbing a little bit as people let memberships lapse. In between the infrequency of such activity and the inadequacy of my own PHP skill, progress is very slow. A little help please?

I would strongly recommend setting up a local server for development while you’re working with hacking s2Member (or any WordPress plugin or portion of the WordPress framework). I myself have seen first-hand what working on a live site can bring on, and (trust me) it’s not pretty. I would recommend checking into EasyPHP and setting up a WordPress site with just s2Member installed.

I’m using the following code to collect available variables:

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_during_auto_eot_system_during_demote", "my_eot_hook_function");
function my_eot_hook_function($vars = array())
	{
		extract($vars);
		$headers = "---intentionally obscure---";
		$subject = "---intentionally obscure---";
		$to = '---intentionally obscure---';
		$message = "Demotion role: $demotion_role\n";
		$message .= '<pre>' . print_r($vars, true) . '</pre>';
		wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
	}
?>

From that, I get a very long response (920 lines) in which I see a lot that interests me. In particular, I would like to use “display_name” and “user_email” but don’t know exactly how to address them.

For example, how would I correctly code the functional equivalent of: $to = $user_email;

Essentially what $vars is giving you is everything s2Member has access to at the point that you are hooking into in array format because s2Member sends get_defined_vars(). Therefore, when you extract() this array, you’re then getting back all of the variables as they were within s2Member.

So essentially what you’re looking to do is something like this (I recommend just creating a new user with $user_id):

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_during_auto_eot_system_during_demote", "my_eot_hook_function");
function my_eot_hook_function($vars)
	{
		extract($vars);
		
		$user = new WP_User($user_id); # Get the user's data again
		
		$headers = ''; # You decide the appropriate headers
		$subject = 'Demoted from '.get_bloginfo('name');
		$to = '"'.$user->user_firstname.' '.$user->last_name.'" <'.$user->user_email.'>';
		$message = 'Uh-oh! You ran out of time! You were demoted from '.$existing_role.' to '.$demotion_role.'.';
		wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
	}

Let me know if that helps you out.

Hi Danny,

I created the function s2hack_get_user_checkboxes() that accepts an array of fields you’d like returned, and returns an associative array of these fields. It’s a quick and dirty solution but it should work just fine.

As it is set up currently, it is only var_dump()ing the data into your page, you can use the array with a <ul> or something similar to finish this up.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Danny,

I’m going to run some tests quickly and create a function for you to do this with.

I believe the fastest way to do this would be just to json_decode() the get_usermeta() value [wp->prefix]s2member_custom_fields and get the user field you’re looking for.

I’ll get back to you shortly.

Hi Danny,

If you have the function called anywhere (like in a mu-plugin) in your WordPress setup, this error will come up. Because this function already exists within the standard s2Member setup (the post you found was for editing the file directly, which is not recommended) you are getting that error. Try just changing your file to this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<section id="title">

	<article>

Hi Danny,

When PHP gives you that error, it means you have already made that function somewhere else. You can’t have 2 functions with the same name. Either rename the function, or find where you have that function declared somewhere else and delete it. :)

Hi Danny,

With the last code snippet you posted, PHP doesn’t allow you to set the default value of parameters with another variable. Do this instead:

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the confusion. I believe that Authorize.net is technically available in all countries, but requires US currency and a US Bank Account to use it.

I’m pretty sure Google Checkout and Clickbank do support European countries though. I’m not experienced with European payment gateways as s2Member is a US-based software.

If Google Checkout and Clickbank don’t work out, you may want to add an additional payment gateway to your WordPress setup. You can get a Freelance developer to do this for you using the information within Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration under IPN w/ Proxy Key ( optional, for 3rd-party integrations ).

You can also check out the s2Member Codex, and this section from the FAQs for more information.

Glad to hear you got it fixed. :)

Hi Michael,

BuddyPress takes over on the pages that you have set up within BuddyPress. You can protect these pages within Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions by user role.

Keep in mind that changing the slugs of these pages will nullify the restrictions you set up until you update your URI Access Restrictions.

Hi Charles,

Your theme should handle this by itself, as s2Member doesn’t set its own color attributes.

If you’d like to post a link to your Pro Form, I’d be happy to send you some CSS you can put within your theme’s style.css file. :)
