How the hell am I supposed to take a standard excel spreadsheet and “encapsulate” each entry with quotes when exporting to CSV?

I’m not familiar with MS Excel, but in OpenOffice Calc you can make each value be double-quoted when saving as CSV. It does it like that by default, but if I want to make sure or edit it, in the “Save As” window, I tick “Edit Filter Settings” and after clicking “Save” I get this:

Also, I need to set this batch list to have a certain member status. Level 2. How do I do this?

In the Role column, set the value to [hilite mono]s2member_level2[/hilite] for those users.

Could you show me the page where you have the ClickBank button you’re doing the test purchase with? I see you have a PayPal Pro form in your page, though. Are you trying to make the ClickBank purchase with the PayPal pro-form using the test card from ClickBank?

Also, to test the ClickBank button, make sure you’re not logged in to your admin account when you load the page with the button.

I didn’t change it yet, just found but didn’t want to edit your account. You need to edit it in ClickBank and test it, please. But I’m hopeful it’ll resolve your problem, since it’s definitely a wrong value there. :)

I think I found the problem after a couple of tests and going over the integration once more. In the IPN setting you entered the return URL instead of the notification one.

Posted: Tuesday Aug 20th, 2013 at 7:27 pm #56303

Let me take another look and do a test purchase. I’ll be back in a moment.

Posted: Sunday Aug 18th, 2013 at 5:21 pm #56115

Got the email, thanks for the info.

I reviewed the integration and found that your IPN URL is set to version 1.0, where it should be 2.1 for s2Member. Could you fix that a test again?

Posted: Sunday Aug 18th, 2013 at 3:37 am #56095

Jason confirms what I said above. I hope that helps clear it up. :)

Posted: Sunday Aug 18th, 2013 at 12:16 am #56091

If the product is active in your account and it can be sold, then it shouldn’t be a problem. Can you purchase the product? If so, if the integration is done correctly with s2Member, it should work fine.

Thanks for doing the troubleshooting tests. Could you make sure the integration is correct? I just shot a quick video on this: Video » s2Member ClickBank integration

After you verify that, if you found nothing to fix and you still have trouble, could you submit your site’s info, including ClickBank’s, so I can take a look? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Are you suggesting I use the trial period for the pro-rate part of the membership? Will this show up as a trial for the customer?

If you’re charging him for that period, then it’s an initial period, instead of a free trial. This would be a period that happens before the regular recurring ones.

Would I have to set the trial period in days so that the annual fee can start on the 1st May? If I did it using months am I right in thinking that the annual fee would be charged from the day they signed up on? (In May).

Both correct.

Do you have some sample PHP code that could calculate this for me?

Do you have a link to some documentation describing the different variables used in the PayPal forms?
E.g. ta, tp, rp etc.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll forward it Jason to review it.

In the meantime, could you submit your site’s info, please? s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Also when I use the code provided the image does not show up.

Maybe because it was in the subdir and you had not included it in the shortcode?

If you just use the shortcode, do you get a URL to the file? And if you open it in a browser window, does it open the file?

Posted: Wednesday Aug 14th, 2013 at 8:09 am #55759

Try adding it before the file’s name:

<img src="[[s2File download="bucket-sub-dir/your-protected-image.jpg" /]]" />

s2Member doesn’t add file upload. What you could do, though, is create a custom profile fields for the user to fill out his credentials, and then approve him upgrading his account manually.

See:
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite]
Knowledge Base » Free user review/approval process

I hope that helps. :)

For Express Checkout or PayPal Pro subscriptions, [hilite mono]rra[/hilite] set to [hilite mono]0[/hilite] means an indefinite number of attempts. It’s counter-intuitive, but many PayPal things are… You can see the [hilite mono]rra[/hilite] attribute explained here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes -> rra[/hilite]

Setting rra=”0″ means that you allow an infinite number of failed payments.

The PayPal Standard [hilite mono]rra[/hilite], does disable repeated attempts when set to [hilite mono]0[/hilite], though (unless they changed that recently). [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> rra[/hilite]

I’ll ask Jason to confirm this, so we can clear up any confusion.

Could you please try all these? Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

I’d start with the server scanner one.

Posted: Wednesday Aug 14th, 2013 at 7:44 am #55753

Yes, you can have a bit of PHP to calculate the months until May, and charge that in the initial term, then the regular yearly terms will start after it. This will help: Knowledge Base » Using Variables In A Shortcode

Thanks for the updates. I’m glad you have it working again.

About the encryption, do you have it enabled in the other sites where the checkout is not being a problem?

Could you create a test installation of WP with just s2Member, configure PayPal and try an encrypted button there to see if you can reproduce the problem in a clean installation? Thanks!

Andrew, /registration is not a standard WP registration page. Do you have BuddyPress or something that may have added it?

When the deactivation safeguards are disabled in s2Member, all s2 data and settings will be removed by s2Member. If there’s anything left, then you probably didn’t disable the safeguards; did you make sure you saved the changes after changing that setting?

Posted: Wednesday Aug 14th, 2013 at 6:13 am #55749

Thanks for the update! I’m glad you sorted it out. :)

Posted: Wednesday Aug 14th, 2013 at 12:15 am #55722

Excellent! Thanks for the update. :)

Colten, some months ago another user had a similar problem, and this is what Jason said:

This could happen if we are unable to reach the API for some reason.

@file_get_contents(rtrim($_g['site_url'], '/').'/?s2member_s_badge_status=1')) === '1'

So for instance if their site is down; or is refusing connections for some reason; or if the resulting badge status says something other than just 1. (i.e. there is a PHP error or something like that also).

And the user confirmed he did have a server problem. Maybe you’d want to check that. Also try these: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

I hope that helps. :)

Posted: Tuesday Aug 13th, 2013 at 10:20 pm #55711

No problem. :)

Posted: Tuesday Aug 13th, 2013 at 6:57 pm #55704

Ah, I see. Well, you will need to learn one HTML tag, the one for images.

Here’s a very basic example:

<img src="[[s2File download="your-protected-image.jpg" /]]" />

Here’s more information on the img tag: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

Could you show us a screenshot of what it looks like in PayPal after you click the PayPal Express Checkout button in the pro-form?

Have you tried completing the checkout to see if the charge is actually successful? You can do a 1 cent test.
