Hi Benny.

I had started a thread here http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/split-testing-two-sales-funnels/ which was closed for some reason

Oh, the forum automatically closes threads that haven’t been replied to in a certain ammount of time.

I’m not sure which code to implement and how to apply it such that it triggers a goal in the options above. I read through some of the options on the API/Tracking page, and am still at a loss regards how to apply this to my situation.

Well, I’m not experienced with VWO, so I’m not sure what they give you in order to track those things. Is it some JS you add to your page, or do you point your URLs to a script that tracks and then forwards to the actual page?

If it’s about adding a certain code that would load a URL of theirs to track things off-site, or locally if you VWO is run from your server, you could add that script/pixel to one of the boxes in the Tracking API when they are relevant to what you want to measure. You can also use the Notifications API, which has more options, but in those, instead of adding a script to your page, they’d load a URL you enter, which could have the code you need for VWO.

If you need to add the tracking to the form submission, when it goes in the actual form you’d need to edit the code for the pro-form, but if it can go after, then the Tracking/Notification API could do the trick. Or you can have the tracking code added to a custom success page you send the person to after checkout, for example.

Does that help?

Hi Susan.

I’m sorry you had that trouble with TinyURL. Did you know you can use another URL shortening service? There’s Goo.gl also integrated with s2Member, and you could add another one if you prefer it, like Bit.ly. Please check out this panel: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› URL Shortening Service[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Core.

You can find freelancers over at jobs.wordpress.net, or sites like odesk.com or elance.com.

Well, the values are enclosed by the double quotes, and they are separated by commas.

"value","value","value"

I’m glad the hack worked with the code I gave you. You can edit it all you like to accommodate your needs.

About the strings you have in your URI restriction, did you try without the [hilite mono]/members/?[/hilite] part? I.e.:

pid=5&pagetitle=save_searches
pid=6&pagetitle=privacy_settings
pid=6&pagetitle=skype_settings
pid=13&pagetitle=viewed_me
pid=13&pagetitle=i_viewed
pid=13&pagetitle=trending
pid=13&pagetitle=interest_cloud
pid=1&pagetitle=view_winks
pid=1&pagetitle=view_friends
pid=1&pagetitle=my_favourites
pid=1&pagetitle=my_matches
pid=1&pagetitle=alerts
pid=1&pagetitle=blocked

Hey there.

To add to what Cassel kindly answered:

The AWeber integration can be found under: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers[/hilite]

You may find this video helpful: Video » s2Member (API List Servers)

Regarding the language, s2Member doesn’t add multilingual features to WordPress, there are other plugins for that. I know that some users managed to make s2Member work with multilingual sites, but they needed to do some customization to achieve it.

WordPress wasn’t built with multiple languages in mind (more than one language in the same WP installation), and depending on a plugin that adds some sort of way to achieve it is risky, as I discovered when the plugin I had picked was not developed any more and stopped working after a WP udpate, forcing me to find a new solution and rebuild the site.

What I prefer for a site in multiple languages is to install separate WordPress blogs under directories/subdomains for each language (e.g. en., fr., /en/, /fr/) and deal with them separately.

If you just want it in French, then that’s fine, and a single installation would be fine. You need to use the French version of WordPress and translate s2Member to French. http://www.s2member.com/forums/forum/community/translations/

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Kenneth.

My problem is if I click on profile and go to that page there is no link in the profile to take me back to my login page.

You’d need to add a link to the Login Welcome page in your navigation.

Also I have a “Dashbord on the profile page called: http://legal-forms-kit.com/members/wp-admin/index.php and I cannot find anywhere to edit this page. What is this Page.

That’s WordPress’ dashboard, it’s not something s2Member adds. s2Member allows some control over the profile page, please read the documentation here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Member Profile Modifications[/hilite]

I hope that helps! :)

Hi John.

Right.. I just came up with an idea. I will built a checkbox option for those who wants to have multiple access. Any idea or tips/examples how to do this? I’m not really good on coding.

You’d need to update the form with the user’s choice of custom capabilities. You can use PHP in the shortcode. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

So, if you had a form for the user to pick his choices, then submit that to the page where the shortcode would be populated based on the user’s choice in the previous step.

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Thursday Aug 2nd, 2012 at 7:52 am #21000

That’s weird, because I got the string from the PHP file for the checkout form… Let me check…

Okay, I just tested the hack and it did change the submit button’s text.

Are you using a caching plugin that is not showing you the changed text, or using something else that may be preventing the hack from working for you?

Posted: Thursday Aug 2nd, 2012 at 7:37 am #20996

Hi Adam.

Are you using custom capabilities to give the access to the areas? If so, the upgrade could sell a logged in user the custom capability for the area they don’t have yet. Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

Does that help?

Posted: Thursday Aug 2nd, 2012 at 7:35 am #20995

Hi Tony. Thanks for the update!

That’s right, multiple pro-forms in a single page won’t work.

I’m glad you sorted that out. :)

Posted: Thursday Aug 2nd, 2012 at 7:32 am #20994

Hi Robert.

[hilite code]%%current_user_login%%[/hilite] won’t be in your URL, and the URI restriction doesn’t support replacement codes.

If you restrict [hilite code]/members[/hilite], you’re restricting all the others, though, so why don’t you try just that line? If you still want to specify the others, do:

Level 0+

/profile/
/settings/

Level 1+

/activity/
/messages/
/friends/

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Thursday Aug 2nd, 2012 at 7:27 am #20993

I can’t confirm that theory, because I haven’t tested it myself, since I don’t have BuddyPress. Have you tried protecting just /members/ with the URI restriction and seeing if it works? Also try another less sensitive URI string, to confirm that the restriction is working at all in your installation, please.

About the hack, I tested a few things and found that the fnmatch function was returning “false” although I had /members/ in the URI, so I changed it to a strpos and that worked.

[hilite pre_code]

[/hilite]

Could you try that and see if now works? Make sure to test with a non-admin account.

About the regular URI restriction and why it’s not working for you, I’m not sure. I emailed Jason and I’ll let you know when I hear back from him.

I hope that helps. :)

– 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?

You’d only have the button to submit the form, the one with the radio button won’t be visible, that whole section would be hidden with the style I gave you above.

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

No, this is required by PayPal in their terms when using Express Checkout.

Thanks for your patience. Now it is clearer and i will be able to use the pro-form woohoo!!

Great! :)

Sorry, there’s still isn’t a date for the new s2Member’s release. But the PayPal mention in that URL is not what’s causing you this problem.

I’d like to review your integration and do a test transaction to then look at the log files, if that’s okay with you. Could you please send the login info using the contact form, including a new test card and screenshots of your settings over at ClickBank? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks!

..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, you can use the pro-form for subscriptions and have the coupons work too. Since they’re subscriptions, the user will be required to have a PayPal account, though, just like with the PayPal Standard buttons.

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.

Hi Paul.

You could use the custom capabilities for this, giving each user his own custom capability, and protect this page with it so only he will have access to it. Video » s2Member (Client Portals?)

Another, simpler, thing you could do is user some PHP to show a different content in the Login Welcome page, so each user will get a different thing customized to him. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Sorry, I’m a bit confused, I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re experiencing. So your user keeps getting sent to the Membership Options page when trying to view a protected page, although he logged in? Or did I misunderstand?

Posted: Wednesday Aug 1st, 2012 at 7:23 am #20900

If we go with S2 can we pay for support to help with the setup?

We don’t give installation services but, once you get the Pro license, you’ll be able to post in the Customers Forum and we’ll be answering your questions when you have them, helping you along the way.

If you require someone to do this for you, you can look for a freelance developer from jobs.wordpress.net, or some other freelancers site, e.g. odesk.com or elance.com.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Marco.

No, don’t know why, but it’s probably something to do with your email account, because most of us do receive the notifications, so the site is sending them successfully. Did you check your spam folder?

Another thing you could try is using another email address if you have one.

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Wednesday Aug 1st, 2012 at 7:11 am #20898

Hi Alan.

But I can’t figure out what text to search for to replace. Using “Submit Form” doesn’t work for me.

That’s weird, because that’s the string. Could you try this in your must-use plugins s2hacks file? /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php

[hilite pre_code]

[/hilite]

I want to do the payment processing without the account creation in the first page, then the account creation on the next page. Does s2member require them to be done in a single go?

s2Member is not designed to do this yet, but you could probably do it with some hacking. Probably a simpler approach for a two-step would be to first register and then pay. You’d use the free registration pro-form and then show him the payment pro-form. That way the registration won’t have payment fields, and the payment won’t be a registration too.

[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Wednesday Aug 1st, 2012 at 6:59 am #20897

won’t that double my members?

If have the user’s ID in your CSV file, then he’ll be updated. If it’s missing, then s2Member will try to create a new one (although it may throw an error since the email address is already in use).

Posted: Wednesday Aug 1st, 2012 at 6:57 am #20896

Hi Marco.

Now I did notice that it shows some references to paypal in the first url, very strange

That’s because s2Member, after receiving the notification from ClickBank and processing the data a bit, it forwards it to the code that processes the PayPal transactions, because it was the first that s2Member had and ClickBank was added later. Sorry about that confusion, we’re improving this in the new s2Member being developed.

If I do a test for IPN notification I get the following reply from clickbank
The test notification failed to send.

Could you verify that you set version 2.1 for the notification API in your ClickBank options?

Thanks. :)

Hi Rakesh.

Those are profile fields, and will be shown in the pro-form when there’s a registration, but an upgrade doesn’t involved the profile, it’s just payment. If you need the person to fill those fields after an upgrade, you should send the person to his profile to fill them out.

You could use the success attribute to show the person a page where you ask him to do it and add a profile form right there using the shortcode for it. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Member Profile Modifications[/hilite]

[hilite pre_code][[s2Member-Profile /]][/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Wednesday Aug 1st, 2012 at 6:43 am #20894

If you disable every option but Express Checkout, the person will still be able to pay the Buy Now with a card over at PayPal. Your attribute in the shortcode is only saying what you can accept in the pro-form. If you accept Visa, for example, then it’d be active to charge a Visa card in your site with the pro-form, which requires PayPal Pro.

About the other options being greyed out, you can use this in your theme’s style.css file to remove the hide the whole section:
[hilite pre_code]
div.s2member-pro-paypal-form-billing-method-section {display: none;}
[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)
