Any kind of an update yet?

Note quite yet, we’re waiting on word from the Lead Developer. We’ll let you know when we hear :-)

Thank you for your inquiry.

s2Member allows you to create multiple payment plans for the same membership level. As far as how you allow your Users to select the plan they want, this depends on how you want to set this up, and how much work you’re willing to put into making different plan types. I’m not totally sure I understand what you’re looking for here, could you give an example as to the differences in plans?

when ever i export the database and import.. I cannot see the User Fields inside the Database.

What database are you talking about here? Do you mean s2Member’s Export file?

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User/Member Exportation

Or are you talking about your WordPress Database? If that’s the case, your registration fields are saved in the usermeta table, in one row for each User.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

I’m not seeing any mention of log files here. Do you have logging enabled? See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Log Files (Debug) -› Logging Configuration

If so, can you send us a Dashboard login so we can take a look at them?

Thank you for your inquiry.

You can run multiple free levels with s2Member Pro, but as you mentioned in your reply, there is no form to upgrade a free User to a higher level for free. You have to do this with the information here:

However that will not move your Users to the correct MailChimp list.

Actually, scratch that. You can use s2Member’s new Remote Operations API to modify your User to a new level, and it will fire all of the integrations when you do so.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API

This way you can use your multiple Membership Levels, and have Users be able to move up. You will need to have a developer set up this integration for your site, however.

I will talk to our development team about possibly making free modifications forms in the future, but I cannot confirm that this will be added in a future version of s2Member currently.

That should do it, correct?

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

the s2member-o.php file creates s2Member’s frontend JavaScript and CSS code. You can disable this using the information provided here:

Pre Sale FAQs » How can I prevent s2Member® Pro from loading it’s default CSS?

That should stop this error from occuring in the short term. I’m unsure what’s causing your issue exactly. It doesn’t sound to me like this is a problem with your database’s power. Are your permissions for the s2member-o.php file set to 775?

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’m not experienced with integration with AIM. If you or a developer want to try changing something in the s2Member source code to to do this, it’s totally okay. s2Member is open source. You can find the integration files for Authorize.Net here:

/s2member-pro/includes/classes/gateways/authnet

Thank you for your inquiry.

Why would it ignore an IPN?

The transaction type is “web_accept” — which after doing some investigation of the PayPal API, it sounds like this txn_type is for “buy now” type of stuff (and not recurring payments).. but then after more investigation, it looks like PayPal Pro with Payflow doesn’t support IPNs directly? So, instead it sends these “web_accept” transaction types for recurring payments?

When s2Member receives information for a recurring payment, there is no action taken. You could, in fact, not even pass these IPN notifications to s2Member at all and that would be perfectly okay. The things you do absolutely need to let s2Member know about are:

• The beginning of a recurring payment, so s2Member can upgrade/create accounts, and/or send a User an email to give them access to create an account.
• Subscription Modifications so s2Member can update account levels/Custom Capabilities
• Subscription Cancellations so s2Member can set the End of Term date for the next payment date.
• and Refunds/Reversals so s2Member can immediately demote a User

Otherwise, s2Member does not need to take any action.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Sorry for the delay in response.

As per our Support Policy, we cannot debug custom code, but I can give you some general guidelines to follow when you’re working with upgrading User’s roles.

The first is that you should always hook into something past the init hook if you’re doing the changes from within a Must-Use plugin. If you do not, the code will fire before WordPress has created the Current User’s object. This is the reason it began working in this edit:

I’ve just put this inside my Header.php file and it is now working. I fear it may have been something to do with my CRON Job, as I just set up email notifications within it, and I’m getting errors that it doesn’t exist, while I can access the directory in my browser.

Here’s an example of how your code should look if you’re giving all level 2 Users the Custom Capability product, and removing the Custom Capability sample.

<?php
add_action('init', 's2hack_ccap_changes');
function s2hack_ccap_changes()
	{
		if(current_user_is('s2member_level2') /* See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals*/)
			{
				$user = wp_get_current_user(); /* wp_get_current_user() get's a WordPress WP_User Object, giving access to the methods used below. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User */
				
				if(!$user->has_cap('access_s2member_ccap_product'))
					$user->add_cap ('access_s2member_ccap_product');
					
				if($user->has_cap('access_s2member_ccap_sample'))
					$user->remove_cap ('access_s2member_ccap_sample');
			}
	}

Thank you for your inquiry.

When a member sign-up as an employer there role is not defined with S2 member. Meaning they can’t access the #0 level protected pages. It only seems to recognize the default Job Seeker role. Can I have some help with fixing this?

You can assign roles specific capabilities with this plugin:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/capsman/

You can use the capabilities that you use with current_user_can() documented here in your Dashboard to give a specific User level access to s2Member level/levels:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals

Past that, I can’t really say what else you could try. I’m not experience with the plugin you’re using to sign Users up for your service.

Great, thank you for your response. Say I wanted to insert the ‘no-follow’ where exactly would it need to go in the link above? Appreciate your help!

When you create the link, you’d create an HTML anchor tag with the shortcode’s output as the href value. Then you can use the rel attribute to make the link nofollow as you see here:

Thanks for your thoughts.

I’ve taken a look into this and there is no Safari API to stop this from happening AFAIK. In reality, if you’re giving Users access to protected content there is nothing you can do to stop them from sharing this information. Even if you converted your content into downloadable PDF files, the ability to share that file is at the discretion of the User that downloaded the file.

s2Member can protect access to the content directly, but the only thing that can keep your Users from sharing the information once they have it is legal stuff (Terms of Service, Copyrights, etc.). We run into this issue even here on s2Member.com, as any User that downloads s2Member Pro has the ability to share the module with anyone. We manage this by protecting the upgrade process, and with our policies.

We’ll keep an eye out for the ability to keep this from happening but at the current time we can’t provide a workaround for this.

Thank you for your inquiry.

New members can choose to become member for 6 or 12 months. We should offer the exact content after login for both groups.

You can create multiple Buttons/Pro Forms for the same Membership Level / Restriction Access. You’d want to create 2 Buttons/Pro Forms, one Buy-Now form for 6 months, and one Buy-Now for 1 year.

Also when the membership is about to run out we need the possibility to automaticly email members asking them to renew their membership. Would this be possible and if so how do you suggest we do this?

s2Member doesn’t support this directly. We don’t have any immediate plans to add this functionality, but we have received requests on this and we’re considering it. If you absolutely need this functionality, you can have a developer set this functionality up using the information I provided here:
