Hi Scott.

That’s a Unix time stamp.

What is the unix time stamp?

The unix time stamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970. Therefore, the unix time stamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch. This is very useful to computer systems for tracking and sorting dated information in dynamic and distributed applications both online and client side.

You can use the [hilite mono]date[/hilite] function to convert it into another format. http://php.net/date

I hope that helps. :)

You’re welcome! Glad I could help you. :)

Ah, I see what you want now.

Well, one thing you could do is have a form where the user enters his email address, which would email him the link to the actual registration page. It’d be a simple form to code and the process would do what you need.

I hope that helps. :)

I’m glad you got it working. :)

About the extra space, I noticed that you have a pair of parragraph tags between each field’s title and input. s2Member doesn’t have those by default, so it’s probably something you added by mistake?

Or maybe it’s a parsing problem caused by another plugin or the theme? Could you try as a quick test, to use the default theme? Or deactivating other plugins one by one and refreshing this page after each change?

I hope that helps.

Thanks Ben.

When I tried the suggested IPN URL, Apache gives no error, but a 200: OK. Do you have the rest of the log entries for this transaction, from the other log files in the s2member-logs dir?

Also, could you post the shortcode you’re using for the pro-form?

Thanks!

Hi Zoe.

I believe the billing address is not just asked for the tax calculation, but also for verification purposes when processing the card, and it can’t be removed for that reason, PayPal requires it. Don’t you have the billing address section even if you didn’t calculate tax?

Do you mean the New User email, the Confirmation email, or the Notifications API?

Hi Marco.

I think you could do something like this:

1) Ask the person to pick the Membership Type, clicking one of two links, which would take to a separate page each.

2) Ask the person to pick the right price, clicking the link for it, which would take to the registration page.

3) The registration page would be the same for all, but change based on the choices made earlier. Those choices would add variables to the URL when loading this page, which you would use to customize the shortcode for the pro-form to register. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

If you know AJAX, you can merge the first two steps into one, probably all three, but I’m not sure because I don’t know much JavaScript.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Marlin.

s2Member does better with Buy Now transactions in this regard, but not subscriptions yet. We’re improving it in the next generation, which is currently under development. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior -> Fixed-Term Extensions[/hilite]

s2Member doesn’t store the payment times yet, so they aren’t in the database to check that. If you use the Payment Notification you could create a custom script to store the payment times in usermeta for the user. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications -› Payment Notifications[/hilite]

Once you have the times, then the prorating would be calculated and your shortcode can be adjusted dynamically to reflect it. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Todd.

s2Member wasn’t designed to sell tangible products, but to sell and manage access to content in WordPress.

Despite that, I think some users have found ways to do it, where they sold the access to a page where the user would get access to a page and then the site owner would ship the product. I’m not sure how that’d work for you.

If you give some more info about your product and how you give a trial for a tangible product, I could maybe suggest an idea.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Paul.

Here you can see the code that prepares the merge fields for MailChimp. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/source/s2member/includes/classes/list-servers.inc.php/#src_doc_line_71

I think they’re these lines:
[hilite pre_code]
$mailchimp["merge_array"] = array ("MERGE1" => $fname, "MERGE2" => $lname, "OPTIN_IP" => $ip, "OPTIN_TIME" => date ("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
$mailchimp["merge_array"] = ($mailchimp["interest_groups"]) ? array_merge ($mailchimp["merge_array"], $mailchimp["interest_groups"]) : $mailchimp["merge_array"];
[/hilite]

So the default fields that get sent seem to be first and last names, IP address, opt-in time and MailChimp’s interest groups.

With the merge fields hack, using the filter for this array, you can add more. I guess that’s the hack you say having found in other threads.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Ken.

The Login Welcome page will always be restricted at Level 0, because it’s mean to be viewable by any member upon login, which includes free users.

You could have two Login Welcome pages, and protect the one for Level 1 users.

In the admin’s Login Welcome Page panel, instead of picking a WP page from the dropdown, you can enter a URL like

http://mysite.com/welcome-%%current_user_level%%

Then create the pages welcome-0 and welcome-1, and protect them with levels 0 and 1 respectively. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Welcome Page[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)
