Thanks. Can I see the shortcode you’re using for it?

Or are you using a button created over at PayPal’s site? If so, did you integrate it with s2Member? Knowledge Base » Using Buttons Generated @ PayPal.com

Also, did verify that your s2Member-PayPal integration is fully/correctly done? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options[/hilite]

Hi Paul.

You can register users at Level 2 for free using the free registration pro-form. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

Keep in mind that levels give incremental access, so the Business levels would have access to the Consumer content protected at Level 1.

if that’s not good enough, you can either edit the s2Member Level roles, or you can use custom capabilities instead. Video » s2Member (Custom Capabilities)

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks for reporting that, Randy. I’ll forward it to Jason to fix them. :)

please have payment adjusted because the module doesn’t work. in the previous post when i stated user signs up at www and gets “ACCESS” to member, it implicitly means that they get to login the subdomain after signing up on the main domain.

If the user registers with wp-signup.php and creates a child blog, then he’ll have access to that child blog as its admin, but even then, his login session in the main www blog won’t work in his own child blog, he’d have to login there as well. This is the way WordPress multisite works, it’s not handled by s2Member, so it’s not something not working in s2Member.

Can you do what you want with WordPress multisite without s2Member installed? Can you login to the main site and have that log the user into a child blog as well?

And the free version of s2Member already has the multisite integration, e.g. controlling how many child blogs if any, the user would get depending on the level. The Pro add-on doesn’t change the s2Member multisite features. The license is to use the pro add-on in the network, since it’d make it available to all user child blogs too.

To clarify what license you need to use s2Member Pro in the multisite network, could you tell me if member.mysite.com in your other post represents a single child blog for all users, or a blog for each user? Thanks.

Ah, I see what we talked.

Well, we weren’t talking about login sessions between blogs in the network in that other thread, which is the problem you seem to be having from what we talked in this thread. Login sessions are not managed by s2Member, but WordPress. You can test this even without s2Member.

That said, after re-reading your other thread, I realize I may have misunderstood what you said there. You mentioned sending the user to member.mysite.com, and I understood that member was a placeholder for each member’s name. That’s why I said that “if the users will have a child blog, then the blog farming license would be needed”.

Could you confirm if it’s a single members installation for all members, or if each member gets his own blog? If it’s a child blog for each member, then the Network Support license is fine. If it’s a single members blog for all members, then the Unlimited Sites license would be enough because you have two (www and members) and I’ll ask Elizabeth in billing about adjusting your payment.

it’s useless, nothing new appears at s2member registration form. So, what am I missing?

Pro-forms have templates which you can customize. See:

Knowledge Base » s2Member® Pro Forms » Customize
Knowledge Base » s2Member® Pro Forms » Custom Data

If you don’t have a mu-plugins folder under wp-content, then you don’t have must-use plugins and that’s not where the problem is.

I can understand you’d prefer to avoid creating a new installation for tests.

Yes, the htaccess code you show me there looks correct.

Okay, let’s see what your webhost says.

It would be very nice to be able to query custom fields with wp_user_query like you can for native usermeta fields.

In the meantime this may help: http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15658&p=48878#p48878

Hi Jino.

1] I am getting recurring = 5 in logs (It is taking the value of mc_amount3) even if I set recurring=1 in notify url.
Is this normal?

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll ask Jason about it because it looks weird to me too, but I’m not familiar with the IPN w/ Proxy Key.

2] If the above behaviour is normal, how do I process the recurring payments? Do I need to create a system to monitor and trigger the recurring payments?

These would need to be done by your payment gateway, since it’s the one that has the payment info, and notify s2Member.

Hi Emily.

If you’re selling with a single payment (buy now), you can let s2Member extend the access for you. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior -> Fixed-Term Extensions[/hilite]

If a user (level 1) has a membership ending 2013-12-31, and they renew, EOT should be updated to 2014-12-31. But it currently stays on 2013-12-31.

Is it being updated at all? You could test adding a unique date (one that would not have been added by your code otherwise) to see if it comes up in the profile, e.g.:

[hilite pre_code]
$expire_on = "2020-12-31";
[/hilite]

By the way, since it’s an extension, I’d first get the EOT time in his profile and then add the year to that.

Thanks for the kudos! :)

2. Orders are coming in through our shopping cart (1shoppingcart). The script above generates a user name with their FULL NAME. Problem is if the “email account already exists” as a member, it says API error, email already exists. In other words, the customer may ALREADY have an account, but under a different username (other than their full-name) with the same email.

You could first check by email address if the user is already registered.

1. For the test, i used custom capability, which I can use to deliver the protected content. But that’s not really how I want to deliver it. I want the give access to the protected Specific Post/Page link. Is there a line I can add in there for that?

You can use s2Member’s method to generate an access link dynamically. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/sp_access/c_ws_plugin__s2member_sp_access/#src_doc_sp_access_link_gen%28%29

Here’s an example: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/giving-my-level-1-customers-a-12-hour-link/#post-41816

The code there is all spread out so it’s easier to learn, you can obviously write it like this:

[hilite pre_code]

[/hilite]

Since you already register the user, though, I think custom capabilities are a much better way to go, because you can manage his access better. Access links can’t be cancelled, once you gave it, you can’t remove it before it expires, or without changing the protection itself (which would remove access for every other user too). With ccaps you can just edit his profile and that’s it, but ccaps don’t have individual expirations, so that’s a disadvantage.

Well, there’s a plugin that I think adds ccap expiration… http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/ccap-drip-timer-drip-multiple-courses/

I think it is a bug for s2member not to respect the activation setting of the bbPress plugin instead of just looking at files, but it works now, so that is what matters.

I’ll ask Jason. I know that he had to deal with bbPress’ recent change in the way they handle capabilities dynamically, which complicated things.

But now another problem has cropped up. i don’t know if this a bbpress issue or an S2 issue. I tried to create a new Administrator and was unable to login to the website as that new Admin. I could login with any existing Admin though. So I reinstalled bbPress yet again and all of a sudden it was working fine again.

That may be related to this problem reported recently: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/fao-jason-potential-bug-with-bbpress-2-2/#post-43918

I already forwarded it to Jason to investigate.

I would appreciate help with this. I don’t want bbPress on my site anymore. It’s part of my efforts to clean up unused plugins to speed up a site that’s starting to get a little sluggish.

That’s understandable. I’ll let you know when I hear back from Jason.
