Yeah, you can adjust the number of levels. It’s explained here [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Levels/Labels[/hilite].
About the payment options for the same access, yeah, you’ll have to use different forms for now. You can do it in the same page just changing values to the form before displaying it, no need for separate pages. This article will help: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604
It may not be impossible to do it in the same page with an option in the form, but it’d involve some JavaScript and I don’t know how to do it.
You could control the navigation in WordPress to show/hide depending on the user, but that won’t prevent someone from going to the forum if they get the URL for it.
I imagine you’ll have some kind of integration between the vB and WP to share users, right? If so, you could hack the vB a bit to query WP and find out what access he has, and tie that to the vB permissions in some way, which are what control access to the forum areas and features. This is more advanced, but not impossible.
What comes to mind to do that would be integrating with a service like AWeber or MailChimp and create a list for the level you’re upgrading them to, and the first email in that list’s sequence be the Welcome one. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers[/hilite]
John, although s2Member supports PayPal’s Sandbox, I personally don’t recommend it because it’s not exactly the same as the actual service, and it has some extra problems of its own that you wouldn’t need to deal.
I suggest that you do real transactions for 1 cent in your tests and get it running that way, then just change the amount to what you’ll actually charge.
George, you can do something similar to what I described above.
With the pro-form you can use PayPal Standard if you use the free registration pro-form and the [hilite mono]success[/hilite] attribute pointing to the PayPal URL generated from the button’s shortcode. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Custom Return URLs Upon Success[/hilite]
Kelli, it would be simpler with Pro, because you have the free registration pro-forms and the redirection after submission that you can do…
I can’t think of a simple way to do it with the free version. You can’t customize the registration fields based on the level you’re selling, because s2Member has no way to know that without first having the person pay for the level (or using a pro-form where you can set it).
Leaving the level based custom fields, you could do the redirection to PayPal after registration based on the choice they pick. Use the [hilite mono]redirect_to[/hilite] var in the link to the registration page and point it the PayPal URL. The URL you can generate it with the PayPal button’s shortcode, with output URL. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> output[/hilite]
It’s a bit simpler if you have two browsers: one to remain logged in as the admin and the other to login with the test account. From the admin account you can even keep changing the role for the test user, and then refresh the page in the other browser to see how the page changes depending on his role.
If you go to your list of posts in the admin area, to the right there is a column for s2Member which, when the post is protected, shows a lock icon. If you hover the pointer over the icon, it’ll say what protection it has.
Sorry I didn’t see this before because I don’t go to the Community forum often, so I moved this to the Customer Support forum.
About the login redirection problem, have you watched this video?
It’s most probably a redirection BuddyPress does, but I don’t have BP, so I don’t know if they have a setting that lets you control it, or if it’s in the BP theme and you have to edit that.
Dar, did you put that link in the menu? It’s pointing to /login-sign-up/, which is not a standard page in WordPress, someone had to create that. In WordPress you can edit the menus here: [hilite path]WP Admin -> Appearance -> Menus[/hilite]
I don’t have BuddyPress installed to test this first, but could you try using the URI restriction for that? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions[/hilite] [hilite mono]/register[/hilite]
Well, you could use the [hilite mono]redirect_to[/hilite] var in the URL to your login form, and get the URL for it from the Membership Options Page variable. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)[/hilite]
We’ll try to make this easier in the future, I’ll take your post as a request for it, but for now you’ll have to customize it from that.
Cassel is right about you being able to create suffixed coupon codes for affiliates, but they can’t be created by the affiliates, and it won’t adjust commissions based on their discount either.
s2Member doesn’t manage the affiliate program, it just sends some information to the affiliate solution you integrate with, e.g. iDevAffiliate.
If the aff script can do that adjustment to the commission based on a var you pass to it, then you may be able to do it. The affiliate coupon codes can also be with the aff script, here’s a screenshot of the interface (click to enlarge):
Actually, PayPal Pro subscriptions have changed recently, so I’d wait on that, or just use Authorize.Net, if you’re not going to be accepting PayPal accounts anyway.
Well, if you get them in the subscription and not give them a way to modify it until the 3rd month, although they should be able to cancel it, there wouldn’t be an interface in your site for it. And you’d have to only do it with cards, not PayPal accounts, because then they’d have an interface to manage it.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Cancellation Forms[/hilite]
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Content Dripping[/hilite]
I’m not completely sure, but I think they don’t have an interface other than the cancellation pro-form you give. I’ll email Jason asking.
I’d worry about complaints to their banks about it if they wanted to cancel and they couldn’t, and you having trouble for it, though.
I hope that helps.

When the term has an amount (i.e. is not free) it’s charged immediately. Then, when the initial term is over, the first regular term is charged in advanced.
