I just ran a search for [hilite mono]s2member_paypal_return_tra[/hilite] in the files. Look at line 222 in [hilite mono]s2member/includes/classes/sc-paypal-button-in.inc.php[/hilite].

I’ll wait for Jason’s comments, since he knows more about this than me.

What you need on the ClickBank side to set up a product is covered in their support docs.

In ClickBank you’ll need to enter two URLs that s2Member provides: the IPN and the than-you page ones, which you get from:

[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› IPN Integration[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Thank-You Page Integration[/hilite]

By test out, I mean I copied the Thank you page URL and pasted it in my browser “http://liveyourlegend.net/?s2member_pro_clickbank_return=1″

That’ll give you an error like that, because that URL is supposed to be loaded by ClickBank after checkout, which includes POST data, which will be absent if you just load the URL in your browser.

To test the ClickBank integration after you set it up, first enable logging and then, with a test card provided by ClickBank, do a purchase of the product. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

Also, do I need to use a clickbank button in order to integrate with clickbank or is that just an extra feature?

No, you can use another image if you want. There’s an image attribute in the shortcode for the button, which lets you enter the URL to your custom one. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> image[/hilite]

Thanks Cristián. For some reason I’m still having a ton of trouble setting this up. Unfortunately about the throw my hands up on it… Would love to make it work though.

We’re trying to make it simpler, but all those values on both sides are needed to make the integration work, that’s the way ClickBank works. If you keep having trouble, you can try hiring someone set this up.

I hope that helps!

Sorry, I forgot to answer your AWeber question. Yes, that’s what I’d do, just keep using AWeber to drip those, then you won’t have to migrate previous users or have to set something else up for the new ones.

You can integrate AWeber with s2Member. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› AWeber®[/hilite]

Here are a couple of articles that help with this in case you have trouble:
Knowledge Base » AWeber email parser for s2Member
Knowledge Base » Debugging the AWeber integration

To automate list migration based on the user’s s2Member Level, go here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› Automate Unsubscribes/Opt-Outs[/hilite]

I don’t know how previous subscribers in your AWeber list would be matched to users in your WordPress userbase. I’m guessing that based on the the emial address, but I’ll email Jason to confirm this.

To test I recommend to do real registrations, following the steps your user would instead of creating a user from the admin side.

To test the AWeber subscription, use a different email address each time, remember AWeber keeps track of the addresses and if you keep using the same one after unsubscribing and such, you won’t get the same experience. If you have a Gmail account, you can have multiple addresses off of it: yourname@gmail.com, yourname+test1@gmail.com, yourname+test2@gmail.com, etc. http://gmailblog.blogspot.mx/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-your.html

For the paid upgrade, do a live transaction, not a sandbox one, even if for just 1 cent to test it. This way you’ll avoid all the extra trouble the sandbox gives, and you’ll have the actual experience a live transaction will give to your customer.

I’ll have to ask Jason about the S3 permission to everyone.

Just remove that style, then the default height style will be used, which is fine.

Hi Ron. I’ll go ahead and answer the questions:

1. I have 100 blogs already up. I did see that when you post new content S2 gives you the option to set the security level for it right there. My question is how do I get all of the old blogs set up to show a snippit? Do I have to just go through one by one and add the short code?

If you use the more tag, then what’s before it will be shown in the list of posts as a snipet. Or maybe try something like the Auto More Tag plugin to save you from editing all the posts. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-more-tag/

2. If I am going to go edit each blog one by one, I may as well set the restriction level for each one of them right then. If I do that, do I still need to do anything under “Post Restrictions”?

You can protect all posts entering [hilite mono]all[/hilite] in the Posts Restriction panel. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Post Access Restrictions[/hilite]

3. I don’t quite understand what to put on the welcome/ logged in page. The videos are each set up on a private page on the site, which I link to in the aweber e-mails when they go out. The blogs are just posted as any blog. Does all this stuff show up on the members welcome page automatically? If not, what do I put there so that they see content when they log in? I hope this makes since.

You can enter what you want there, it can be a “welcome back” with a list of updates for members. Or a reminder to add your email address to their contact list to get your email course. Anything you want to tell users.

4. Is the welcome page updated dynamically according to the level of the person logged in? Aside from putting the short code for the profile update feature there, I’m not sure what to put on that page.

No, it’s not updated automatically, all s2Member does is protect it at Level 0 (logged in) and redirect people there after login. The content is like any other page’s, you put whatever you want there.

I hope that helps!

You’re welcome and thanks for the kudos! I’m glad I could help. :)

Yes, if you use the s2Member generated button, or the PayPal created button following the instructions so it works with s2Member, it should work fine.

Keep logging enabled so you it’ll be easier to find what’s wrong in case you have any problems with the transactions. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help a bit. :)

Thanks.

OK, when you say blogs, do you mean a multisite network? So you’d have a main blog that links to the other blogs in the multisite network?

It processes when the subscription starts. If your regular monthly payments start on the 5th, then every 5th. That’s why I’m suggesting that you use the initial term, which is separate from the regular ones, to end the current month and have the regular terms start on the 1st. So, if it’s a 17th, have the initial term be 13 days (if it’s a 30 days month) and the regular term will start on the 1st.

I see. Well, you can adjust the initial term in the shortcode too. http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

If you never got the emails, I’d test it removing the trial/initial term and doing a 1 cent buy-now to see if you get the confirmation email then. If not, you have a problem there that needs fixing too. Knowledge Base » Troubleshooting Email Delivery Problems

I hope that helps!

I see. Well, the log si quite clear about the reason. This is a problem with PayPal, really, there isn’t much we can do about it.

Since s2Member doesn’t have the info yet, it has to wait until later to get it and then send the confirmation email with the registration link for the user.

If you enter an amount, even 1 cent, for the initial term, then it may solve it. What’s your shortcode?
