I believe an old customer may have used a “saved” or cached copy of an old paypal button to the old site. So the error message may have stemmed from that. (We notified all our old customers. Converted them to the new site manually and had them all sign up with the new paypal buttons with new pricing plans etc. There is always one – and I think this is was the error that caused this odd message:

Ah, I see.

I do not have another plug-in for anything Paypal or subscription related. So I’m not sure how to solve this issue:

I’d ask PayPal about it… Maybe it’s not in your IPN setting, but in a specific subscription. You could ask them to help you update that URL to the right one.

While you have these privledges can I also get your help in setting up the S2 Badge on the Website? I’m down to the last setting that requires me changing some internal WordPress file

wp-config.php? Okay, do the edits, make sure you’re not missing any other, and the badge should turn green.

I don’t know if you need it to be a different pro-form… I thought the renewal would only be possible in November, then a pro-form wouldn’t be available the rest of the time. But if payments were possible the other months, you can have a different pro-form show up in the same page using the conditional: if it’s November show this pro-form, if not show this other one.

Re the default fields – those options only seem to take effect if the field is visible to the user. This is pure metadata and is set to Invisible during and after registration. The default value is set in the options, but comes in as an empty string in this filter.

Okay.

Re the date – thanks, I’ll change that to call empty(). Out of interest, what’s the advantage of a second call to date() in the assignment, rather than just using $today, which is already assigned?

Ah, I didn’t even define [hilite mono]$today[/hilite], since it’d only be used in a single place.

What’s really odd is the last call to get_user_option() uses a different array ($dField[]) and does load the correct data. But it only seems to persist like that until the end of the function. The userlist on WP still shows 2012-12-19 for that user. I can change the ‘Start Date’ from the Edit User page on WP, and then it does stick.

Yes, that’s strange… Do you have object/database caching?

I’m very glad you sorted it out. Thanks for the update. :)

You’re making progress, we’ll figure out what’s missing so you can get all payments successfully. :)

Could you please show me the log entries for that transaction? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

So you have PayPal Pro PayFlow Edition? And you filled out all the PayPal and PayFlow credentials in s2Member? Did you double-check to make sure they are all correct? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options[/hilite]

Hi Darren.

Do you mean this post? http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/using-authorize-net-and-s2m-in-the-uk/#post-30431

No, this hasn’t been implemented yet. I’ll email Jason asking about it.

1) How can I set this up so that students can cancel or modify their membership in an alumni group (leave, upgrade, etc.)

You can have a page called My Account, or use the Login Welcome one, to add the cancellation button if the user has a subscription, or offer the upgrade if he doesn’t have a subscription yet. The modification button would be needed if he has a subscription and needs to modify it.

Now, since you sell ccaps, keep in mind that if the user then gets a subscription and ends it, the demotion would remove all ccaps, including those that weren’t gotten when they bought the subscription. You’d need to hack the EOT behavior to avoid this. Not sure if this’d be an issue in your setup, though.

2) Is there a better ‘best practices’ way to set up this system with respect to the shortcodes, ‘buy now’ vs. recurring, etc.?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Could you please explain some more?

Below is a shortcode for a WORKING spot in a class (each class comes with it’s own custom capabilities).

Below is a shortcode for an AUDITING spot in that same class:

Since those are not recurring, and you’re not using the trial/initial term, it may be better to make them buy-now instead of a non-recurring subscription. Chage the rr to [hilite mono]rr="BN"[/hilite]. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes -> rr[/hilite]

I don’t remember if you have PayPal Pro or if you’re using Express Checkout only… If the latter, then selling a buy-now instead of a subscription, would let the customer pay with just a card and not be required to login to his PayPal account. Also, with a buy-now the EOT time is set immediately, but I’m not sure if you have a use for this.

I’ve been using S2Member for over a year now, and I just want to thank you guys so much for all your ongoing help. This plugin and your support are amazing. It WORKS. And it’s FLEXIBLE. And SIMPLE. And I am very thankful.

You’re so nice. Thank you very much for the kudos. It means a lot to us when we get such a nice comment like yours. :)

Happy Holidays to you too!

Where can I go in S2 to resend … can’t seem to find that and until they click the link they aren’t added to the members list.

There isn’t a resend button, but you can generate a link for the user to register, and email it to him. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Registration Access Links[/hilite]

Also, when doing an import can a reg email be triggered?

No, emails aren’t sent on import to prevent trouble with this. Please see this post: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/free-memberships/#post-27391

Hi Tom.

If the user is at Level 0 and has no subscription running at that point, then there’s not billing to modify. You should just use a s2Member Level pro-form/button.

If you’re selling a subscription, the EOT won’t be set, that’ll happen when the payment gateway tells s2Member that the subscription was ended. A buy-now transaction would have the EOT set immediately, though.

I hope that helps. :)

Yes, that’s looks correct. :)

You need to do that because there isn’t a replacement code for ccaps available in the email.

Could you have them confirm with PayPal what service they have exactly? To receive on-site payments they need PayPal Pro. They should confirm they have this, and if it’s the PayFlow Edition or not. And to sell subscriptions, they should also make sure they have DPRP.

Hi Desmond.

You’d have to modify the hack a bit, so you can add a variable to the URL for the product, to tell it which of the two.
