An additional quick question here. In the pro-form, at the bottom, it has a checkbox with “Yes, I want to receive updates via email. ” What does it do? Does it add to my Mail Chimp list if they check it and NOT add it if it is unchecked?

Since everywhere else in the site, through s2M, whenever one would make a purchase, the name would be automatically added to the MC list, is there a particular reason to give the choice in the pro-form? If not, can it be removed?

(ok that was more than one question)

As i was driving today, i started thinking (could be dangerous at times) but i am not sure if it can work so i need someone techie enough with coding to tell me if it is possible with s2M.

Is there a way for a conditional to decide if a number is higher than another (i think it can) but then, also recognize a ccap as a value (numerical or alphabetical)?

If it can work (you will have to tell me about that), i thought i could assign the ccaps attributes to the individual workshops with a number (ex: 201201) and have a conditional that would determine something like “if the ccap is higher than the user’s “given ccap”, then the workshop is available”. And the “given ccap” would be determined based on the php idea Raam mentioned earlier.

Is that scenario something possible?

Hum.. i guess it must answer my question, but i’ll have to study this as i have NO IDEA what it means. :)

And while asking about the pro-form, will this “solve” the problem of a registered member not getting the ccaps automatically set if they are making a purchase without being already logged in? Will their email and username be checked against those in the database to apply the correct ccaps to the member (while now, i have to do those manually)?

No, in order to upgrade or add a ccap to his account, the user has to be logged into his account when he starts the order. That doesn’t change using pro-forms, it’s like with buttons.

I wonder if in a future version this could be used. Since the user is entering email and username, if they are new, nothing in the database would match but if they are existing member, then, it would be easy to compare (i say it is easy but i am not the coder). Unless something else is in the making for the next version to address this (any closer to the next version?)

Here are additional questions:

– in the pro-form, if i remove the credit card “pictures” with the css coding, doesn’t it become redundant to have the radio button under ONLY Paypal, and then a button with Checkout with Paypal?

– can the Checkout with Paypal button be changed to a custom button in a pro-form like it can be done for a button?

So, the Paypal option visible in the pro-form is the express checkout which will go to paypal whether one has a paypal account or not?

In light of this:

Starting with s2Member Pro v120608:
http://www.s2member.com/changelog/#s2-changes-v120608
It became possible for customers to checkout through PayPal Express Checkout, with ONLY a credit card, so long as the purchase does NOT include a trial period, or any recurring charges. In other words, it works with “Buy Now” purchases only.

..can i use that pro-form with Express Checout for subscription/trial period too?? If not, how can i use a coupon for that?

Yes and no.

1- Do i still have to remove the mention of the other credit cards as stated in the text above “*PayPal® Pro is NOT Absolutely Required*…..?

2- Can i still use the pro-form “as is” with a coupon, even if i sell a subscription with recurring payment if i dont have paypal pro but only paypal express checkout?

Maybe i am confusing myself by reading every detail!
