Hi Jennifer.

Like Jason said, it may be that your s2Member Pro wasn’t installed properly. When you look for it in the admin area, do you see it listed? Check if you have this in the navigation: [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> s2Member Pro Info[/hilite]. If it’s not there, then you should do a re-installation, making sure that it’s done well.

If you do have it installed, then the problem may be with the shortcode parsing itself, which may be caused by another plugin or the theme you’re using. To find which, you can do the following tests:

– Change your theme to the default TwentyEleven one and load the page again, see if the shortcode is still there or the pro-form.

– Deactivate other plugins one by one and check after each if the pro-form is there, once it works you’ll know that the plugin you deactivated last, was the one causing the problem.

I hope that helps. :)

Jason posted a new video where he talks about the Amazon integration. Maybe it helps you find what’s wrong?

Thanks for the update. :)

Not yet. Coupons are a feature of the pro-forms.

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 4:40 pm #5526

Cool. You’re already very good with conditionals and ccaps, so I’m sure you’ll pull it off.

I suggest you write the flow in paper, with little drawings even, which may help you visualize the whole thing and know what conditions to put where without getting overwhelmed.

I’m sorry about the notifications. I guess the email account is still giving you a tought time, huh? :/

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 2:56 am #5467

Great! Thanks for reporting back. :)

I’m not sure about seeking streamed files, since you have only loaded what’s been streamed so far, and I don’t know if the stream can stopped and resumed from another point in the file. I’ll ask Jason about this.

Great! Thanks for the update. :)

So you used all in the Post restriction and it didn’t restrict the posts? At what level did you apply that restriction and what level was the account you tested with at? If you use the admin account, you’ll be shown all content. If it was restricted at Level 0, any free account will have access.

This video is helpful to understand some content restriction problems:

I’m looking at your custom attribute in the shortcode: [hilite mono]"example.com|event|' . $event . '|' . $num . '|' . $amount . '|' . $eid . '|' . $uid . '"[/hilite].

cv1: event
cv2: $event
cv3: $num
cv4: $amount
cv5: $eid
cv6: $uid

Now the notification URL: [hilite mono]tid=%%txn_id%%&type=%%cv1%%¤t_eid=%%cv4%%[/hilite].

tid = %%txn_id%%
type = %%cv1%%
current_eid = %%cv4%%

For [hilite mono]current_eid[/hilite] you’re using [hilite mono]%%cv4%%[/hilite], which seems wrong, I’d guess you meant [hilite mono]%%cv5%%[/hilite].

I’m not sure if there’s a similar issue with [hilite mono]type[/hilite] or this would cause your script to not work.

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 2:14 am #5461

Right.

Do you have this problem when you try registering an account from the default registration form? [hilite mono]/wp-login.php?action=register[/hilite] or that one works fine with Chinese characters in the username?

If that one doesn’t work, it’s a WP problem and you should post about it in their forums or search for other conversations on it.

If that one does work, then the problem would be with the s2Member API.

Let us know how it goes.

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 2:11 am #5459

Got it. Could you check out this thread and see if you find something there that helps you with this? http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15853

Also, what version of s2Member are you using?

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 1:55 am #5458

Hi Bill. Thanks for the kudos and the great suggestions! :)

They are very good ideas and some of them may make it in the next major release, which is planned to be released in a couple of months.

I’ll show this to Jason.

Hi Cassel. :)

I got a bit confused, but am pretty sure you could set something like that up using the custom capabilities in combination with conditionals.

You can also use the custom capabilities to sell the downloads. [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Custom Capability & Member Level Files[/hilite]

s2Member can be integrated with Amazon, but I don’t think it’d work in combination with EVP. [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> Downloads Options -> Amazon[/hilite]

I hope that helps.

Hi Debbie.

Have you tried the constant S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL? I guess it’s safe to assume that the Level he has is the one he got, right? [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> s2Member PHP/API Constants[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 1:24 am #5452

Hello Jeffrey.

I edited your first post to remove the API key from the URL.

Could you post the actual URL you tried in the Notification API? Also, please post the URL you used in the browser, that worked to insert the entry.

Thanks.

Posted: Friday Feb 17th, 2012 at 1:18 am #5450

Hello Michelle.

Thanks for the kudos! :)

No, s2Member doesn’t provide this kind of authentication. If you find a way to make SocialGo authenticate with a WP installation, then it could probably be made to work with s2Member.

I hope that helps.

First, is it safe to say that support for the payment processor JVZoo is just about done? I saw this mentioned in earlier threads and just want to know if this is good to go. JVZoo support is pretty much a must for my needs.

The JVZoo developer was working on this integration some weeks ago, but we haven’t heard from him since. I suggest you email them to find out if it’s almost ready.

Second, how difficult is it to setup integration with buddypress and bbpress? I have multiple products & programs I offer and I would like to have each customer have access to forums/groups associated with their purchase.

In the s2Member framework you can find the integration there are for BuddyPress and bbPress:

[hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Registration/Profile -> BuddyPress[/hilite]
[hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> Other Integrations -> bbPress plugin[/hilite]

Also will menu items in wordpress be hidden for those who don’t have the right membership level?

Yes. Check out this setting:

[hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative View -> Nav Menus[/hilite]

Within my membership site lets say I sell & deliver 3 separate products (A, B C).If a person starts out and buys product A from me using JVzoo and then a month later buys product B using JVzoo will S2member know to merge their purchases under a single account login?

Yes, as long as the purchases after the first one are done while the user is logged in to the account, otherwise s2Member won’t relate the new purchase with an existing account.

I suggest that you use custom capabilities to give access to products like that. These would be added to the user’s profile, you can actually do it manually too. If you go to the profile you’ll see a field for this.

[video playlist="A2C07377CF60025E" width="663" height="400" start="0" show_etag="yes" /]

This works well for access paid one-time, not recurring. You can’t have two subscriptions, one for each product, yet. Also, if you have one be a subscription and the other a one-time purchase, they would expire together when the subscription ends. This is a limitation we’re working on and won’t be a problem when the next major release of s2Member comes out in about 2 months.

I hope this helps. :)

Yes, you can read the documentation for it here: [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> Downloads Options -> Amazon S3[/hilite]

Dev Note w/Technical Details: s2Member uses “Query String Authentication”, provided by the Amazon® S3 API. Documented for developers here. To put it simply, s2Member will generate S3 authenticated redirect URLs ( internally ); which allow Customers temporary access to specific files inside your S3 Bucket. s2Member’s Query String Authentication through Amazon® S3 gives a Customer 30 seconds to connect to the file inside your S3 Bucket ( i.e. the automatic redirection URL ). This connection period of 30 seconds is largely irrelevant when used in combination with s2Member. It just needs to be a low value, to further prevent any possibility of S3 authenticated link sharing. If you need to change this connection timeout of [hilite mono]30 seconds[/hilite] for some reason ( not likely ), you can use this WordPress® Filter: [hilite mono]ws_plugin__s2member_amazon_s3_file_expires_time[/hilite]. If you need help, please check the s2Member Forums.

Actually, I’d suggest using custom capabilities for this, which are available in the framework, no need for Pro to use this.

Hello J H.

Sorry, neither of those points is added by s2Member Pro. You can keep working with the framework and customize your WP installation with other plugins to add those features.

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Thursday Feb 16th, 2012 at 4:33 am #5346

We’re using the Free Registration Pro-Form. [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Free Registration[/hilite]

Right, pro-forms are available in s2Member Pro.

The free version of s2Member helps you customize the [hilite mono]wp-login.php?action=register[/hilite] form a little. [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Login/Registration Design[/hilite]

Posted: Thursday Feb 16th, 2012 at 4:27 am #5343

Hi Lyndsay. Thanks for the kudos. :)

Sorry, no, s2Member doesn’t add a private messaging feature for users. :/

Posted: Thursday Feb 16th, 2012 at 4:22 am #5342

Hello Akuta.

Are you trying to sell access to a bundle of videos online? Then you can use a Level 1 restriction to protect all the pages/posts where those videos are embedded and sell the Level 1 access to your users.

You can also protect the files with s2Member to require the person trying to download, to be at Level 1. [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> Download Options[/hilite]

Hi Wim. :)

No, pay-per-post is not something that’s availble in s2Member yet. This may be possible in a future release, probably in the next major release which may be in a couple more months, but I’m not sure yet.

If you’re in a rush, it may be possible for a freelance developer to hack this into your s2Member installation, after all, s2Member has its source code open to allow customizations. Here’s the source code documentation: http://www.s2member.com/codex/

Hello Gunter. :)

To be simple : what is the difference between free and pro ?
I mean I only want to offer Paypal to my members and nothing else !
So I am asking what is the difference between the 2 ver !

You can see a comparison between both versions here: http://www.s2member.com/pro/

Basically, s2Member Pro adds more features to those already available in the s2Member Framework (free).

How can S2 take control on a monster WordPress (over 500 posts published) without re-checking all the posts to turn them to a specific level (access) ?

Just go to the Post restriction panel and set it to “all” in the box for the Level you want to require. [hilite path]WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Post[/hilite]

Is there a service to install and set this up correctly as I am 1st french speaking …. 2nd I have installed the s2 and it doesn’t seems to work ?

We don’t offer installation at the moment, but you can find many freelance developers that offer that kind service. Try freelance sites like elance.com, odesk.com or jobs.wordpress.net.

I’m not sure why s2Member isn’t working. How did you install it? This video gives a quick example on how to install the free version:

[video playlist="D88E24985C62B23D" width="663" height="400" start="0" show_etag="yes" /]
