Wow! Thanks for following up – I had gotten side-tracked with other issues but was planning to follow up myself. I really appreciate you doing this. I can rest assured now that things are okay. Thanks again…

YES! Excellent! One more question – the site is currently live. Any advice regarding the import? What should I be aware of / look out for?

FYI, I just sent you the information for you to login and check the logs. Appreciate your timely feedback!

Yes, it was for the same person, same transaction(?). I will send you the log info privately.

We have a Buy Now buttons as well as Specific Post/Page Access buttons. We don’t have subscription buttons.

FYI, here is the Buy Now button generated by s2member:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Canada 1 Year (2 Issues) - $30" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="CAD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.dorchesterreview.ca" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="30" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

Okay, I do see web_accept as the transaction type. I see the following (I edited out some entries via the [SNIP] string for brevity and deleted the confirmation email stuff for privacy reasons):

User-Agent:
array (
[SNIP]
‘txn_type’ => ‘web_accept’,
‘s2member_log’ =>
array (
0 => ‘IPN received on: Sat Nov 3, 2012 4:14:34 am UTC’,
1 => ‘s2Member POST vars verified through a POST back to PayPal®.’,
2 => ‘s2Member originating domain ( `$_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”]` ) validated.’,
3 => ‘s2Member `txn_type` identified as ( `web_accept|subscr_signup` ).’,
4 => ‘s2Member `txn_type` identified as ( `web_accept|subscr_signup` ) w/o update vars.’,
5 => ‘Signup Confirmation Email sent to: “[…]” […]’,
6 => ‘Storing `payment` for Subscription via ( `web_accept` ).’,
7 => ‘Creating an IPN response for `subscr_payment`. This will go into a Transient Queue; and be processed during registration.’,
8 => ‘Storing IPN signup vars into a Transient Queue. These will be processed on registration.’,
),

But what was confusing to me was the following log entry just below:

array (
‘txn_type’ => ‘subscr_payment’,
[SNIP]
‘s2member_log’ =>
array (
0 => ‘IPN received on: Sat Nov 3, 2012 4:16:06 am UTC’,
1 => ‘s2Member POST vars verified with a Proxy Key’,
2 => ‘s2Member originating domain ( `$_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”]` ) validated.’,
3 => ‘s2Member `txn_type` identified as ( `subscr_payment|recurring_payment` ).’,
 4 => ‘Sleeping for 5 seconds. Waiting for a possible ( `subscr_signup|subscr_modify|recurring_payment_profile_created` ).’,
5 => ‘Awake. It\’s Sat Nov 3, 2012 4:16:11 am UTC. s2Member `txn_type` identified as ( `subscr_payment|recurring_payment` ).’,
6 => ‘Updated Payment Times for this Member.’,
),

For this entry, the txn_type was subscr_payment. Can I safely ignore the recurring_payment string? Since it is within an or clause.

Many thanks! I will certainly check out the link! A pity that s2member didn’t have that functionality out of the box.

Thanks again,
Colin

Okay, you can forget my question about testing the EOT functionality – I figured that out and tested it and it seems to work fine. If you can respond to the rest of my questions that would be great.

Never mind. I figured it out. (Go to edit the user’s profile and manually add in “+10 minutes” in the Automatic EOT Time field).

Hi

I tried the “+10 minutes” example.

Where do you set this – this is exactly what I want to test!

Thanks
Colin

It certainly helps. I will do as you suggest – test with a live site right now!

You can enter an EOT time to the test user’s profile. To make it quicker, set it at some time in the past.

Where do I set that?

Also, what I am not clear on is the following: I just spoke to my client and they want to have a buy-now button WITH AN EXPIRY DATE of 1 year. I have 2 questions on this. First, does this mean that s2member will allow them access for a year, then demote them after that? I want to make sure that this option is possible with the Buy Now button (and not just the subscription buttons).

Secondly, as I said above, Paypal has the option of the dropdown for a single button (e.g. Canada- $30, USA – $40…), but when I look at the s2Member button code there are a ton of other variables — including expiration date for buy now buttons — that paypal doesn’t seem to have. Is it safer then to go with s2Member buttons, creating a separate button for each option? Or can we also set those variables in the paypal button in the Advanced variables section?

Finally, one more question – the client wants the expiry date set in our WordPress database. Is there a way I can achieve that?

I truly appreciate your help. Trying to get this site up and running today if possible.
