Jeff Lewis, from YaBB SE and SMF?

I want the administrator to have the capability to add/delete new members and edit member information.

Yeah, you can the same way you’d create users with WordPress, only the form would have a few more fields added by s2Member. [hilite path]Dashboard -> Users -> Add New[/hilite]

There’s also the users import tool, if you want to add them in bulk, but this one comes in the pro version. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User/Member Importation[/hilite]

Regarding custom forms, am I understanding you correctly that the pro version is required to do what I described?

Yeah, only if you want to have the registartion pro-form in a page/post.

If you’ll use the regular WP registration form, you don’t need the s2Member Pro add-on. The custom profile fields will work with it too and are in the free version. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite]

Can I do this with S2 Member, and if so which version?

So, unless you want to use the pro-forms or the import tool, the free version seems to be enough.

Hi Slim.

Right, s2Member doesn’t have a manager for “products”, since it wasn’t meant to be used for that. Since it was first created, it’s evolved a lot and custom capabilities were added, but a GUI to manage them wasn’t implemented yet. This is something we’re improving in the new s2Member being developed.

You can sell the individual videos protecting them with custom capabilities. Files can be protected with them, as well as the pages where the videos get embedded.

Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Custom Capability and Member Level Files[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Capability (Buy Now) Buttons[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Frank.

This article may help with the role part: Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP

This post may help with setting the EOT via PHP: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10100&p=21197#p20785

If you use free registration pro-forms, you can specify the EOT and level there. You can also use PHP in the pro-form’s shortcode if you need it: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Randy.

You mean breaking down the registration form into several steps or just change the layout? In any case, it’d require you to create a hack to get it that way.

Are you using wp-login.php?action=register, or an s2Member registration pro-form?

I’m so sorry that PayPal had bad documentation on their site, that misled you to think you could use them in Australia. It’s amazing the amount of trouble I’ve seen PayPal give site owners and users in the past months… :(

I can understand your situation and I appreciate what you’re saying. Like I said, I emailed Jason about this, I don’t have more say over this, I can only try to find a way to make it work for you.

So far the only thing I think could work, is to start with PayPal Standard and later, when the PayFlow Pro support is released, upgrade to that. I’ll let you know when I hear back from Jason regarding this feature.

Hi Soosie.

There seems to be something odd with the double quotes in the line you posted. I think it’s best to not do those manually. If Excel won’t enclose the CSV values in double quotes, then you should try using OpenOffice’s Calc, which does. Then you can edit the CSV in the spreadsheet and save without worrying about fixing the format.

Let me know how it goes. :)

Hi Alissa.

Well, if you migrate the whole site, then all that info you mention will be included with the database tables, together with everything else. I don’t know much about website migrations, but I think most webhosts have cPanel and that includes a backup tool that you can use to create the copy, and then import back. You could contact your webhost about what the steps to migrate the site would be.

If you just want to export the users and the s2Member options, you can try the import and export tools here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export[/hilite]

If you keep the domain name you have now, you may have no problems, but if you change the domain name, I’m not sure if the subscriptions would need some kind of update or hack to update the access properly in the future in case of payment or lack of it. s2Member has a field called custom, with the site’s domain name, and if there’s a mismatch it’d cause trouble. I’ll ask Jason about this particular one and update you when I hear back from him.

Thank you for the details, Rebecca.

This seems to be on their side completely, it’s not something that seems to be caused by a problem with s2Member. I think you should contact PayPal support to find out what’s going on that their system returns that error to s2Member, but still charges the card.

Please let us know when you hear back from them, hopefully with an helpful answer. :)

Hi Deb.

That’s not available in the pro-forms yet, but you could probably create a hack that does it.

You could probably have the custom profile fields you created for that, hidden during registration, and then when the pro-form is submitted, pick up the billing address fields and populate the matching custom profile fields with those values.

I don’t have the code for that, but a decent developer should be able to code it for you. http://jobs.wordpress.net

I hope it helps. :)

Hi Lisa.

Did you also set the Membership Options page? Restrictions won’t work until that’s set too. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page[/hilite]

I see. So you want that if someone purchases with that plugin, he’s given the s2Member access to protected content and be demoted if he stops paying. Is that it?

In that case, I guess you’ll have to find how to integrate them. Here’s an article that explains how to integrate a regular PayPal button with s2Member, it may help you with this. Knowledge Base » Using PayPal created buttons

I hope it helps. :)

No, I’m talking about having a must-use plugin hack that checks if it’s the OSS bot and, if so, skip the s2Member restrictions. http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins
