Hi Abner,

When the user enters the coupon, you should do the following (replacing the ccap “test” with whatever ccap you’re using):

<?php
$user = new WP_User(get_current_user_id());

$user->add_cap('access_s2member_ccap_test'); // Adds custom capability "test"

When the user presses the button and should no longer have access, do this (again, replacing “test”):

<?php
$user = new WP_User(get_current_user_id());

$user->remove_cap('access_s2member_ccap_test'); // Takes it away
$user->add_cap('access_s2member_ccap_test_used'); // Tells us that the user has used a coupon already.

Make sure to use something like this where you have your form to input the coupon (replace “test”):

<?php if(current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_test_used')) { ?>
	You are not allowed to input a coupon more than once.
<?php } else { ?>
	Normal Content (the form to enter the coupon)
<?php } ?>

Hi Marc,

What exactly shows up when you use a shortcode? Does the plain-text shortcode show up, or is there nothing at all?

Hi Emmanuel,

Knowledge Base » Protecting Non-WordPress Content with s2Member

The member will have access to any non-restricted content, like any other member, however, he has an additional “key” that you give him to unlock whatever content you protected with that particular ccap.

This is correct. Users will have access to all content for the specified level, as well as the content that you protect with the custom capability.

Charles,

To clarify, you’re putting this code into a mu-plugin, within /wp-content/mu-plugins/a-plugin-file.php, correct?:

<?php
function s2_login_ips_for($username)
{
	$ips = get_transient('s2m_ipr_'.md5('s2member_ip_restrictions_'.strtolower($username).'_entries'));
	
	// This returns an associative array containing all IPs the user has logged in with, over the last 30 days.
	// Array keys are IP addresses, and array values are timestamps.
	return (is_array($ips)) ? $ips : array();
}
?>

I just tested this and it seems to be working correctly.

Hi Ayurveda,

You can do this by simply creating multiple Pro Forms / Buttons at different prices for the same level. s2Member does not look at the price when verifying the transactions.

Hi Ben,

You’d need to do this with some JavaScript. Add a onsubmit action to the Pro Form and create some JavaScript to grab the data and use AJAX to send the data to a URL that saves the data.

You can check out the IDs for the s2Member Pro Forms in /s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/

Hi Christian,

Yes, I’m using all the integration settings from that article. The registration process worked fine, it assigned the new user to the right level, and returned them to the site after making payment so they could register. But it just didn’t set an EOT.

As for the logging, I didn’t have it enabled. I’ve enabled it now and will try again. Just to confirm, setting p3=1
and t3=Y in the advanced variables box in the PayPal button generator should pass the instructions to S2Member that the EOT will be 1 year from the date of registration?

To change the payment from recurring to One-Time, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve set “src” to 0.

With this, the EOT date should be 1 year and 1 day from when the user registered.

On other question which struck me regarding how to restrict content in relation to their payments – I use following script :

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS < 30 ){?>
    <h3>Ooops ! Acces to this content will be available after next months payment or if you are a lifetime member</h3>
<?php } elseif(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 30 OR S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL >= 4){?>
    Drip content to Members that started paying you at least 30 days ago or 
    membershiplevel =4.
<?php } ?>

And regarding this I need to know if the paid registration days also cover a 14 days trial – if so, how then I need to have 45 days instead of 30, however, this gives the next challenge, how do I then differ between a customer who has signed fully up from the start without a trial, as this customer only should have 30 days in. ?

You could try adding the custom capability “trial” to users that signed up with a trial, and not adding it to users that didn’t. Set a variable at the top of the page in PHP, and use that for content dripping instead.

Like this:

<?php
if(current_user_can('access_s2member_ccap_trial'))
	$time = -14;
else
	$time = 0;
	
$time + S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS = $drip_time;

if($drip_time >= 30) { ?>
	They should have access to month one
<?php } ... ?>

2) have all month 1 posts on the home page, with the excerpt, so that everyone can see what they can get
access to if they sign up as member

This is something you’ll have to set up outside of s2Member. You’ll need to edit the loop in your theme.

3) have all other posts sorted by month (and this could be the tag), however, they should not be able to see the excerpts on the home page for all the following month – if I could have a box where it says content month 1, month 2 …. and so on, and then when they click they can see the excerpts, however they should only be able to see the content if their payments are in sync with the actual month – however, the last item is easy to do with the former scripts I have got from you, so this is just a script in front of each post.

You will want to use the is_permitted_by_s2member() function for this.

Hi Charles,

We recommend putting this code into a Must-Use Plugin, by putting it into your /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create one if you don’t have one).

This Must-Use plugin should only house the function that Jason wrote, and not actually display any information.

For getting the user’s info I would suggest creating a Post/Page to display this data for users (a private post/page or draft), and then finding the user’s ID or username to use the code.

OR

If you’re comfortable with it, you can create a custom admin submenu page within your Must Use plugin to house this functionality. Find info on this at WordPress.org >> API >> add_submenu_page()

Hi Jakub,

I do understand this would most likely require storing user credit card information on our end, which I am guessing was the reason s2Member did not go down that path?

Yes, s2Member would be forced to save info other than the Paid Subsription ID, which could lead to this data being compromised if there was ever a way found to access this data outside of s2Member’s processes.

Hi Chad,

The success=”” attribute is enabled on the PayPal standard buttons when you have s2Member Pro installed.
