It would be appreciated if one could get the info otherwise i would ask my developper to work on it, but if it does come soon in the next release, then i would wait (although we are waiting since March for some features!)

In s2M, you have currently no way to send a reminder of any kind as it is not configured as a mailing list. However, there is a kind of way around it and that is what i have to do so far.
Integrate with MailChimp
Add a mergetag specific for your particular membership that will be a date
When a member pays, you enter the date manually in MC for that mergetag
Using the autoresponder in MC, you can send a reminder say 1 or 2 weeks ahead of time (or whatever is convenient for your particular membership) with a link to a hidden page with the “renewal” button
In your site, create a page that will not appear in the navigation and accessible only with a direct link (that will be provided in the email)
Use conditionals to make sure that the button to renew is only visible if the member is logged in and has the particular condition for the membership (either a level or a ccap). This means that only those who are currently registered can access that button, even if someone lands on that page by accident.
I know that the updating the date in MC manually is a PITA. It sure would be worse if you have lots of members and registrations and such. In my case, i have a manageable number of registrations. However, i am considering the development of custom coding for this.
Hope it helps, somewhat.

Which log should i look in?
Also, how can the Paypal subscription ID be the same or different? How or where is it entered?
|
|
|
Ah. I dont have a better answer for you. I guess you`ll have to wait for someone more knowledgeable.
|
|
|
Could it be associated with the same Paypal you are receiving money with? You cannot use the same Paypal account to pay yourself. Just a thought.
|
|
|
Well, something might not be right. The user UPGRADED her subscription with that button. The ccaps were changed correctly. I got a $15 payment (which i thought was the scheduled payment, upgraded) and a notification of a recurring payment being set up. That was Sunday. Today, a recurring payment of $10 goes through for that customer for the previous subscription (meaning she now paid $25 for this month). Somehow, it seems to have updated in s2M (with ccaps) but not in Paypal.
Any idea what the problem might be? I know she can now cancel the old subscription but i am unsure how it might affect her account in s2M with the ccaps.

There are several shopping cart plugins for WP. Just a quick search of plugins with “Shopping cart” as keyword gives several results. That might save him some $$ from having to hire a programmer.
|
|
|
First step i would suggest: know what you want to do with the plugin. From there, you can go down each category, in the plugin “dashboard” and set up each “box” as you go.
Then, you come here for the next question! :)
|
|
|
I might be completely off here, but since s2M can protect pages and anything that is directly inside a wp page, maybe you can use a standard Paypal button (not with s2M), or a WP plugin for a cart (i think there is one) and use it on a page that is accessible with conditionals based on s2M ccaps? That way, a user who has purchased an “access” in s2M could then see the option to purchase whatever else is on that protected page?
Just an idea.
|
|
|
I am not 100% sure it is the same thing, but i have a membership that one can purchase and will only start on the current month, onward. So if the user purchases the subscription in October, all the issues before that are not accessible, but anything from the time of the subscription onward will be accessible (as long as they pay). Is that the kind of subscription you are looking into?

Great! That will allow me to use one shortcode with the OR instead of having to rely on php! Thanks.

If you use the widget, it stays on the page so no separate registration page.
As for the MC registration code, in my page i had to install it with disabled javascript due to a conflict with some things hidden on that page, but otherwise, it would also stay on the same page.
So if, you want to avoid having to visit the registration page and then finding your way back to the link/page, maybe those would be an alternative?
Howeve, if you get a popup, it might still be a great addition to your site.
|
|

Do you really need a popup? You can use a widget with s2M pro that will allow the user to register directly on the page.
You can also use the registration form from MailChimp again, directly on the page if you add the s2M+MC plugin
(available here: http://krumch.com/2012/08/24/kc-bidirectional-integration-of-s2member-with-mailchimp/)
You can see how i integrated it on this page:
http://scrapbookcampus.com/free-calendar-making-class/
Just other options. But again, maybe you do want and need a popup for your particular site.

So far, i dont thing s2Member can do it, however, you can associate your s2M with a mailing provider (i use MailChimp) and if you use the date the account is created in s2M and MC as the base date you can create an auto-responder in MC itself. That is what i do when i have my 6 month period that is about to turn to montly payment, so the member is informed of the upcoming change, and can cancel if they wish. That is to help prevent chargebacks in case they forgot they signed up for for that deal.
The application might need some tweaking, but it is feasible that way, not directly with s2M, at least not in the current version (maybe the next? we can hope).

How do i know someone DID, in fact, upgrade? Am i supposed to get a notification of subscription change from paypal? One member said she “paid” for the GOLD upgrade but i could not see the added ccap in her profile, and i didn’t get anything from Paypal either.
EDIT: the user tried again and it worked. Somehow, maybe she didn’t do it right. I got a notification of change, and also a notification of payment. I am unsure if the payment was due today (maybe it was) or if it because of the upgrade, in which case, it would be for less than a month. At least, i offer the upgrade to the members about 4 days before their next scheduled payment so it is close enough to one month.
I’ll update if anything seems odd, or if they get charged more than once.

A simple way might be to protect the content for one level above the entry level, and when you have a member register at level 1 (or 0 which is free), you can manually change the level to 2 so only after that “approval process” can the member access the protected content since level 1 would not be able to access it.
As far as getting a notification, check s2Member® API / Notifications > Signup Notifications . It might be just what you need.

There is kind of another way around it. I am using MailChimp and got a plugin developped where the member is actually registering through the MailChimp registration form and the plugin then uses the email address and creates a matching account in the s2Member installation.
The plugin is available here:
Bidirectional transparent integration/synchronization/bridge of s2Member® with MailChimp®
And if you dont need to use MailChimp, just ask the developper if he can skip that part for you.

Thanks. Silly question here, but can you use “week” and “weeks” interchangeably? Or is only one correct?
|
|
|
You said in another thread that i can replace “days” by “minutes” or “hours”. Can i also use “weeks” instead of coming up with 364 days or 84 days? It would be a bit easier to calculate to say 52 weeks or 12 weeks, and so on.
|

Darn, and that is what i was looking at too. Time to put on my glasses! Thanks for your patience!

Hum… not sure it matches what i was asking. If the only ccap i have for the Level 2 is “element”, can i just drip based on Level 2 registration date? If the user does not have the “element” ccap, the page simply would not display at all. Or maybe i am understanding it wrong? I was just looking at a way to take up less space!
And for the free registration, it is not a matter of being registered, but “be registered at Level 2”, so i was wondering if i could use
s2member_registration_time(‘level2’)
instead of
s2member_paid_registration_time(‘level2’)
Also, looking at your corrected code, you have
“element” ccap AND Level 1 OR Level 2 with the time delay
Does that really do the same as
(“element ccap AND Level 1) OR (“element ” ccap AND Level 2 with the time delay)
Or should it be something like this
“element” ccap AND (Level 1 OR Level 2 with the time delay)
to make sure that the “element” ccap is a necessary condition whether it is for Level 1 or Level 2?
I see the correction you did, but not sure it means the same thing i intended.

I was thinking today that whether the user is Level 1 or Level 2, they both have to have “element” as a ccap. Do i have to add it to this formula or can i just protect the page itself with that ccap?
Also, in order to give me the option to give a free membership, can i skip the paid_registration and only have registration? Otherwise, how would i be able to “give” a membership (say for testing, for showing someone around or for a contest prize)?

Do you mean that my code was correct?
Or do i still need to add whether the user is a subscriber?
|
|
|
Maybe it was not obvious in the code i made but here is the “English translation” for it:
if (the member is a Level 1 with “element” ccap) or (the member is a Level 2 with “element” ccap AND is a level 2 member since X number of days)
Display the content
Is that what the code was saying?

Cani use the registration time and not the PAID registration time? If i want to give a free membership to someone, the PAID part would not trigger the dripping. 90% of the time it will be paid memberships, but occasionally, it might not be. I had copied the wrong code and had paid_registration…. can i use just registration instead?
