Hmm… If you can give the buy-now customers another level, then you could set the custom profile field for that level only. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields -> Edit field -> Applicable Membership Levels[/hilite]

Hi Andrew.

Well, you could create/upgrade the account manually for the parent once you receive the payment for tuition. Would that work for you?

Or, if you receive the payment via one of the gateways s2Member integrates with, then the upgrade would be automatic. Just say they’re paying for tuition and and membership access is extra, instead of saying they’re paying for the membership.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Megan.

1. Yes.

2. You can explain to them how to pay you by check, yes. Not sure what you mean by sign-up form to print. You can have the person register free and then upgrade his account manually after you get the check, though.

3. You’d create those separate access groups and then offer them to the user to purchase the one they way. You can use a separate button for each choice. You could customize the button’s code so the person can change the number of years.

4. No, s2Member doesn’t make this easy yet, we’re working on it. You could integrate with a service like AWeber or MailChimp and schedule emails to go out on those dates for now, though.

5. I don’t understand this one.

6. s2Member Pro has a User Export tool you can use for this. You can tell who’s expired by their user role, if they’re Subscriber/Level0, then he’s not a paid member, but if you allow free registrations then the role doesn’t tell if he was or wasn’t a paid member before. You can use the Notifications API to contact a custom script of yours that keeps track of members and their changes in status, too.

7. No, this isn’t possible with the current s2Member either. We’re working on making this possible too.

I don’t have a date for any of the features I mentioned being worked on, but I say it so you know we’re not ignoring those needs.

I hope that helps. :)

No, there isn’t a hack for it yet. You could use the payment notification to run a script that updates an EOT time in the profile, but if that happens, then I’m not sure if a cancellation of the subscription will update the EOT time, since there is one in the profile already, you’d have to check that too and change if it needed.

The major release that Jason is coding now, will allow for this feature you’re requesting. We wanted to have it ready a couple weeks ago, but it’s been a lot of work and it’s still got some weeks to go, I’m sorry to say. But it’s coming, that’s for sure, so look forward to it. :)

465 seems correct from what I’ve seen.

Kath, at this point I’m a bit confused about what is working and not working for you. Could you explain, after the recent changes you’ve made, what is happening when you make the test purchase? Give all the details you can, since I can’t see it for myself. If you can take screenshots, that’d be very helpful too.

Thanks!

You can change the order of the custom profile fields from here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite]

You can customize the pro-form’s template, if needed: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) -> template[/hilite]

I’ll let Jason know about your request for the video.

Here’s a thread that may help with the username field thing: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=14806

I hope that helps. :)

Are you using one of s2Member’s pro-forms for this? If so, it has a captcha, no need to use SI Captcha. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) -> captcha[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Yes, for 1st time visitors you could use the Offer on Login feature. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› One-Time Offers (Upon Login)[/hilite]

To know who’s registered while they’re logged out is not something s2Member has a feature for, though.

I hope that helps. :)

Cool. :)

Hmm… I’m not sure how to do that with buy-now buttons. It’d be simpler with the pro-form, cause then you use a customized one for the buy-now transaction, but then, if you don’t have PayPal Pro and use Express Checkout, the customer will be required to have a PayPal account, which is not the case in buy-now buttons.

What do you need different in the registration form for buy-now transactions?

When you say “a paypal module php script”, then you’re talking about a script ouside WordPress, right? Well, then you’ll not have the get_user_field function available to you if it’s not defined in your script.

That’s a function s2Member adds, and that happens in WordPress. You’d either have to include WP to your script or query the WP db directly from your script.

I hope that helps. :)

I’m glad it helps. :)

Ah, I see. So you want a sort of members directory?

Well, BuddyPress has something like that. There are plugins that let you do that too. You may need to do some customizations to those to display exactly what you want, but it’s not impossible. s2Member doesn’t have a user directory yet, but we have the intention to add it, although we don’t have a date for it.

You can also try using the get_users function to create the list, and filter it by user role to get the s2Member Level 1 users. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

I hope that helps. :)
