It may have been an email delivery issue. Did you check your spam folder?

I’ll show this to Jason, in case he has some logs he can review to check that the email was sent to you.

Hi Jeroen.

You could do something like this, yeah. For the free registration use the free registration pro-form shortcode: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

Then, above the shortcode for the registration, you can have the link offering the paid subscription, which would take them to a payment page if you’re using a pro-form for that, or straight to PayPal if you’re using a button.

To have the user be registered in phpBB at the same time, you’ll have to research how to bridge/integrate WordPress with it.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Lisa.

It’d be best to contact your hosting service to help you work out the queries problem.

I hope they help you sort it out quick. :)

Thanks Jason! Great idea.

Dataca, if you notice the s2Member shortcode not outputting the URL correctly, try using [hilite mono]wp_loaded[/hilite] instead of the [hilite mono]init[/hilite] hook.

Also, that link in the email will always be sending the user to pay, so if he uses it again in the future, he may be asked to pay again incorrectly. Another thing you could do is just provide a regular login link, without any redirection, and in your hack instead check the user’s role. If he doesn’t have the paid role, redirect him to pay over at PayPal.

Hi Bob.

All excellent points. What Dave explained is correct too. s2Member started as a simple plugin for a specific purpose and it’s outgrown what its original code could let it do without major hacks or rewrites. So we’re doing that, rewriting the whole thing. Jason is almost full time on that, which is why he’s less in the forums.

We’re working on including most, if not all, of the things you mentioned. Although it’s about selling access to a website’s content, it’s now been wanted more and more by site owners that sell different contents in different ways, in the same site. So we want to have a cart, and a way for the user to add/remove stuff to one single order. And make it possible to have more than one subscription going for the same account. And be able to send notifications and reminders and thanks, at set times, for different things. And much, much more.

It’s been almost half a year in the making and it’s only weeks away from a beta version we’ll test as much as possible to then release publicly as soon as we can. There’s still a bit more to do, but we’re very close, and those issues you mentioned will be much less or none.

By the way, what you said in your first post is all correct, that’s how it behaves, yes.

Thank you, Frank, for the kudos! :D

Hi Simon.

Good question. I don’t know how the current s2Member handles that. I’ll email Jason asking about it.

Sure, you can add a variable to the URL, either in the querystring with a fixed value, or modify it dynamically with PHP. Please see: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Rakesh.

Let me see if I understand: if you have a Level 2 member paying monthly and he wants to change that to Level 3, how would it be done? Well, there’s the modification pro-form. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms[/hilite]

If you need to make adjustments for each user dynamically, then you can use some PHP to adjust the pro-form’s shortcode. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

I hope that helps. :)

Hi there.

That’s a great idea, but I’m afraid it’s not something s2Member does yet.

You can use an affiliate script like iDev to track who refers new members, but tying it s2Member to give him credit he can put toward a new purchase, is something you’d need to customize, either yourself or a developer you hire.

I haven’t studied how this would be done in order to advice you on the best approach, but I am making a note in our to-do about your request for it. :)

Cool. :)

Awesome Dave! That was great.

It’s gonna help users with the PayPal interface to actiave the recurring payments.

Thanks so much. :)

Hi RK.

No, sorry, s2Member doesn’t have invoicing and quotation features.
