lol

Glad I could help. :)

I’m in the > API / Notifications and can’t seem to wrap my mind on it. I’m using https across the board. Will this work and I’m guessing now I need another separate page for this EOT?

I don’t understand this one.

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 5:43 pm #17305

Well i have found a useful plugin that just uses a simple shortcode for this EOT. This is the simplicity that I needed.

Yeah, that plugin makes it quicker to add the EOT time in your post.

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 5:42 pm #17304

Im in the user info on the profile test account and do not see an EOT.

If you set the trial, the EOT time should be in his profile. Could you send me login info to look at this and do a test registration? Please include the link to the page where you have the pro-form for the trial. Thanks! s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Is there a short-code for this where I can show this EOT in various areas?

When the EOT time is set in the user’s profile, you can use PHP to get it, there isn’t a shortcode. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

[hilite pre_code]
$s2member_auto_eot_time = get_user_field ("s2member_auto_eot_time"); # Auto EOT-Time for the current User ( when applicable ).
[/hilite]

What is wrong in the settings?

The problem there is that your shortcode doesn’t seem to be using the domain name of the blog he’s going to have the paid membership in. s2Member may work in a multisite network, but each blog has its own scope.

If you will sell access to Blog A, the button that you sell the access with has to be for Blog A, not Blog B. And if you want to use the Blog A shortcode in Blog B (I haven’t tested this), Blog B would need the PayPal integration filled out as well or the button will not be generated properly. Even if the button got generated properly, it may cause confusion if the user has an account in Blog B and is logged in to it, but then doesn’t have an account in Blog A yet, s2Member will tie the payment to the ID of the account he was logged in in Blog B.

In any case, it’s better to use the shortcode for the button in the same blog you’re giving the access. If you need to put the button somewhere else, it may be best to create a button over at PayPal, integrated with s2Member. This article explains how: Knowledge Base » Using PayPal created buttons

When everything is working fine is it possible to send a customer who has paid but did not went trough the complete process the thank you page with the download instructions? Does he see the url in that case? What about the settings number of hours to download? Or better give money back and ask him to order again?

When the user completes checkout, but before registration, s2Member sends him a confirmation email that includese a special registration link that tells s2Member what access to give him, and will work even if registrations are closed.

You can customize this email to personalize it and say whatever you feel best to the person. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email[/hilite]

s2Member also lets you customize the New User email, sent by WordPress when the account is created. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -> New User[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

I do have wordpress-mu installation and main site is pranayamayoga.tv

Are you giving blogs to your users or is this just to organize your content?

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 5:10 pm #17301

Yes, you can.

Disable Open Registrations and only those who paid will be allowed to register. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration[/hilite]

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 5:09 pm #17299

Cool. :)

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 5:07 pm #17298

Thanks! I took a look but can’t tell what’s wrong, so I forwarded it to Jason.

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 4:44 pm #17293

Then you’d have to restrict the paid content at Level 0 instead of higher, so that those paying members can see it, but then the trouble-makers would be demoted to Level 0 and still have access too. :/

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 4:40 pm #17292

It can be either one, button or pro-form. I mentioned them both because in (1) you said button, but in (2) you asked about Express Checkout, which requires the pro-forms. Either one can do Buy Now transactions, they both have the drop down I mentioned.

Hi Kristen.

We’re creating a new site which needs a membership solution that will allow us to add these pre-existing students to the site with subscriptions and levels set to match the classes they have already paid for.

Yes, you can manually give a user any of the paid levels, either from his profile page or from the users list.

You can also do it with a PHP script or with s2Member Pro’s export/import users tool.
Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User[/hilite]

We are willing to enter the user details for any of our existing students to get things going, but eventually would like to be able to integrate payments and registrations through Infusionsoft.

I know a user that integrated InfusionSoft with s2Member, I believe he used s2Member Pro’s Remote Operations API. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API[/hilite]

You may also find this helpful, a tip Jason shared to try integrating new gateways with s2Member: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3154

I hope that helps! :)

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 7:02 am #17275

No problem. :)

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 7:00 am #17274

Got the email with the files. I forwarded the email to Jason to look at it.

About the emails, they are getting to most other users. It’s possible that your email service is blocking emails from our server, for some reason that I don’t know. I’ve only known from a couple other users reporting this same problem. One of them would get them fine in one of her email accounts and never in the other one. Do you have another email account you could use for your account here?

Hi Ralph.

#1, if I could search your Support Forum I would have done that. But, you do NOT ( And I recomend you do have that in the future):

You can find the search box in the header of the page, where the s2Member logo is, but on the right. Still, I don’t remember your question having been asked before.

I have a unique situation where I have to “pre-qualify” members @ http://aqualifedealers.com/membership-application/

If I “qualify” a member, I want tto “push” their registartion info the S2member mysql datbase. Now, it is my undertanding that S2Member uses the wp_uers database. Is that correct?

Yes, users are in the standard WP tables for users, so you can use the WP functions or your own queries to do it. You can google this, I’m sure you’ll find something that helps you with this.

s2Member Pro has an API you can try to create users: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API[/hilite]

Now, what may be simpler, is to just let the user register as a free user as part of the application process, using the s2Member custom profile fields to have the extra info you want them to submit, and then if they qualify, just edit their profile and bump the level to 1 or whatever. You can also change their level with PHP: Knowledge Base » Changing Roles/Capabilities via PHP

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Erik.

Did you double check that your Basic Downlaod Restriction, Amazon S3 and CloudFront settings are all properly set up?

Where you logged in when you tried the downloads?

Could you send your login info to take a look if the above doesn’t help? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Thanks. :)

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 4:55 am #17270

Where? The profile of the account you tested with? Did you check the EOT field there?

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 4:50 am #17269

I just wanted to confirm that I’m going to need to get an SSL certificate installed on the website in order to provide secure membership signup, correct? Or is security already provided in S2Member?

You only need SSL if you’re getting payments on your site with PayPal Pro or Authorize.Net. If you use the other methods where the payments happens off your site, you don’t need SSL. Pre Sale FAQs » Do I need an SSL certificate to use PayPal® Pro or Authorize.Net®?

Based on what you shared earlier, when a person goes back the following year to renew their membership, the fact that the person is already in the system will be recognized by S2Member, correct? (There won’t be a duplicate record issue.)

If the user is logged in to his account when he makes the new payment, then there won’t be a new registration required. If he wasn’t logged in when he paid, then s2Member will assume this was for a new account, it won’t relate the payment to the existing one.

Posted: Sunday Jun 24th, 2012 at 12:03 am #17267

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Actually, we are planning to eventually have short vid tuts next to each thing in the admin area for the new s2Member. And we may also include wizards at some point.

when I setup my first S2 Member site options, it took about 4 or 5 hours, though my second one only took about 1.

I know well what you mean, same thing happened to me when I started using it.

1) You say “Buy Now” transactions – where do I get the button for this? Under Paypal Pro Forms? (I want people to pay a once off $3 for a month access, non recurring)

You can generate the Buy Now button with the generators here:[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Membership Level # Buttons[/hilite]

In the dropdown where you select how often, go to the middle of the list, where the Buy Now options start.

2) How do I enable “Express Checkout”

If you use buttons, it’ll be PayPal Standard. If you use the pro-forms, you can use Express Checkout. Pre Sale FAQs » To use s2Member® Pro Forms, will I have to use PayPal® Pro?

3) Although I am logged in, it is not prepopulating the fields.

In the pro-form? What fields? Could you take a screenshot?

My goal is to have a paypal button for logged in users. They press button, there is popup. It has field for coupon code, and cost and a buy now. They press button and it let’s them express checkout without signing up for paypal.

The pro-form will be where you put the shortcode for it in WordPress. if you need it in a popup, you’d have to create the popup to put the pro-form in.

I hope it helps. :)

Posted: Saturday Jun 23rd, 2012 at 4:52 pm #17255

I see.

Well, if it’s a trial, I imagine you want to give them access to the paid content, which I’m guessing is at Level 1, not 0. And your trial period is not defined properly. Here, try this:

[s2Member-Pro-AuthNet-Form register="1" [hilite mono]level="1"[/hilite] ccaps=”” desc=desc=”Signup for a Free test drive for 7 days!” custom=”themassagecoupon.com” [hilite mono]tp="1" tt="W"[/hilite] captcha=”blackglass” /]

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Skip.

If you upgraded recently, it’s possible that you have the PayFlow edition of PayPal Pro. You should confirm this with PayPal and, if so, complete the s2Member integration with the PayFlow credentials. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayFlow[/hilite]

Make sure you have logging enabled, run a test 1 cent live purchase, zip up the s2member-logs folder and email me the URL to the zip file, please. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

Posted: Saturday Jun 23rd, 2012 at 7:22 am #17243

Hi John.

Yes, in s2Member Pro you have the free registration pro-form, which lets you give the free user Level 1 access for the time you specify, e.g. a week. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Saturday Jun 23rd, 2012 at 7:07 am #17242

But how do I make sure that only people who are Level 1 Members show up in the Directory?

I don’t know, you’ll need to hack BuddyPress a bit to have it behave like that. Find out with the BP guys if you can just list members with a certain WordPress role, instead of everyone.

Hi Harley.

We are using wordpress.com and just purchased s2Member Pro. The instructions show how to ftp by filezilla, but wordpress.com does not allow ftp. Will pro work or not?

No, you need FTP access to upload the s2Member Pro add-on. They don’t seem to let you add normal plugins just like that, either. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

Plugins are tools used to extend the functionality of the WordPress platform. However, they are only applicable to self-hosted blogs and web sites using the WordPress.org software. Plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons.

Please refer to our article on the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org for further clarification.

If you require plugins, you’ll need to acquire your own hosting. You can move all your content over by following this guide or by having a Happiness Engineer do the move for you.

I hope that helps.
