I just noticed that there’s a WP role named “Author”. I’d make a note of the capabilities it has and then add them to the s2Member Level role you’re trying to have publish posts.

I hope that helps. :)

I don’t know…

Did you ask in the JW Player forums if they know why this may happen?

I’m assuming your video file is in an S3 bucket protected by s2Member. Did you try it with an unprotected S3 bucket to see if the same happens?

Could you post a link to the page with the video? Or send it privately: s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks.

I got your email.

Logged in to your WP but couldn’t see the admin side, got a white page with a 500 error.

I found some pages in your site that’d give me a “not found” error. They seem to have in common that they all seem to be children of another one according to the URL. If the slug is right /page it works, but if it’s /members/page or some other “directory” in the URL, then it gives the problem.

I could login to the FTP but couldn’t tell much from that. I see you serve everything over HTTPS, don’t know if that causes a problem or not.

I’d first try to get access to the admin area to then check the slugs for those pages that have the problem. Did you update other plugins when you started having the problem? I’d try removing those temporarily as a test, you can do it via FTP, and see if you can then access the admin side.

Yes, you should be able to. But if one of the things you used in your customization causes a JavaSript problem, the pro-form may not work correctly.

So one of the things you can test is deactivating other plugins one by one and refreshing the pro-form page after each to see if the problem is gone. Once you spot the plugin causing trouble, if there is one, you’d try to fix or replace it to prevent the problem it caused.

I’ll ask, will let you know when I get a reply.

Are you using live transactions when you test? It’s better to do live 1 cent transactions than using the PayPal Sandbox, which many times has its own bugs, which are pointless to resolve if they won’t be present in the actual service.

I don’t know if another plugin may be causing a conflict. Some weird problems were found to come from this, so it may be worth testing for it. Deactivate other plugins one by one and test after each to see if the problem is gone, please.

If you’re okay with it, could you send the login info to your WP and FTP to take a look? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Cool. :)

This is the ‘remote’ call that ends up with a 4020 return value. The PDT is fine and the tx is fine… can’t work out why it would fail?

If your PDT token is correct, then I’m not sure why the 4020. Maybe it’s a mod_security problem? I’m not familiar with it, but would be worth checking it to make sure it’s not part of this trouble you’re having. Knowledge Base » Mod Security, Random 503/403 Errors

Did I mention that I can’t change the ipn url for older transactions and hence can’t use the central ipn.

The way I understnad it, you’d put the central IPN script in the URLs that the PayPal subscriptions point to for IPN, then the script would forward it to s2Member in a way that they’ll work with s2Member.

I didnt know that you can | custom or i would have not hacked it that way LOL
anyway – what variables are the stored in after the PIPE? Are they accessable on ALL
RTN and NOTIFY scripts?

Sorry, since you were talking about the piped values, I thought you knew about them, so I didn’t think of mentioning it earlier. The whole string for the custom attribute gets saved in usermeta, including the piped values. Look here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants -> S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_CUSTOM[/hilite]

S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_CUSTOM
This will always be a (string) containing the current User's Custom String; 
associated with their s2Member Profile. Empty if not logged in.

<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_CUSTOM; ?>
This may output something like: www.yourdomain.com|cv1|cv2|cv3
(this is the input field value for the custom="" attribute in your Shortcode)

But that constant may not be available right when the user returns from ClickBank. It most probably will be available in the s2 Vars, though. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› s2 Vars (Explained)[/hilite]

Now, I haven’t checked if the custom attribute is sent by CB with each notification afterwards, like with the recurring payments or cancellations/refunds, you’ll need to test this. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to save in usermeta the CB transaction/subscr ID, whatever CB identifies the subscription with in its IPNs, and include the item’s number.

Knowing the item number you’ll be able to remove that level/ccap when the user cancels/refunds.

ccaps What are these and How do I use them in my implimentation above.

This video explains them quite well:

You will still want to read the documentation for them here:
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Custom Capabilities[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Custom Capability and Member Level Files[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› Capability (Buy Now) Buttons[/hilite]

That said, now that I saw your upsell path, I realize these are not subscriptions that you’d sell independently. One would be an upsell to the first one, so Levels will work fine for access, since it’s incremental too. Unless you plan to sell Level 2 without requiring Level 1, then you’ll need to separate them with ccaps.

So with that being said.. is there a way to create the registration somewhere so that when UPSELL LEVEL2
is presented.. atleast s2Memebr can function on its normal routines?

The funnel I’d try would be:

Level 1 -> CB checkout -> Registration -> Auto login -> Upsell Level 2 -> CB checkout

For the auto-login after registration I have a hack you can try:

wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php
[hilite pre_code]

[/hilite]

Then you can set the first login to redirect the person to your upsell sales page. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› One-Time Offers (Upon Login)[/hilite]

this code was really not though through in a marketing perspective I gotta say.

Right, it wasn’t. It started over 2 years ago as a simple plugin to restrict certain things and sell access to them through PayPal, but Jason is not a marketer. Since it was good, it became very popular and with feature requests, Jason kept expanding what it does, but always limited by what the original framework permits.

Year and a half ago I started working with him and I do have a marketing background, and being in charge of support I’ve dealt with what users have trouble with. So about a year ago we started talking about a rewrite of s2Member, and about 6 months ago he started working on it, the last 4 months almost exclusively on it.

The new version takes care of most of the known limitations s2Member has, permits to do what most users have requested, and opens up some possibilities that no one has even asked for yet. It won’t be perfect and we’ll still be improving it, but it’ll be a quantum leap from what it now is, and it already is quite decent even with it’s current limitations.

Ah, right, sorry I forgot to check that. Try this to only show the line if there’s an EOT time:

[hilite pre_code]
Membership expires on ' . date('M-d-Y', $s2member_auto_eot_time) . '

'; ?>
[/hilite]

To have it in a single line, I wrote it in a way I haven’t used before, so if it doesn’t work try this:

[hilite pre_code]
Membership expires on ' . date('M-d-Y', $s2member_auto_eot_time) . '

';
?>
[/hilite]

I hope it helps. :)

You can change the description to what you like, just try not to use fancy characters to avoid potential problems. :)

My fix was just to skip the paypal[‘custom’] check so it forced a domain (server host) match.

What did you change the condition to, something like just [hilite code]if (true)[/hilite]? I don’t see how that affects the item_number, but I haven’t tried it…

What about the question in the ps i.e. item_number not matching current system expectations?

Are these new purchases you’re testing or old subscriptions? What is the [hilite mono]item_number[/hilite] in the transactions that fail?

Yes I’ve gone through this already.

So you tried the central IPN script already? http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/error-4020-on-paypal-pdt/#post-18609

and not being able to export the whole database for analysis isn’t helping – any ideas on that as well?

No idea about that. Do you have phpMyAdmin? It has an export tool.

Hi Jonathon.

Yeah, it’d have complications, but it’s still doable. Here’s a thread that goes over this problem and a solution you could try: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/help-with-paypal-central-ipn-php-and-ipn/

I hope it helps!

we had the boxpay working with the Free S2 Member. Then I upgraded and it is not working. What can cause this?

The PayPal button doesn’t use JavaScript and the PayPal pro-form does. Maybe something is causing a JS conflict, causing your pro-form to not work properly because of it.

Can I send you a PM with the site access details and you can check it out?
