Well, test mode should work, but in the end it’s always best to test with live transactions, even if 1 cent ones.

After you test live, could you post the entries from the logs? The Auth.Net ones as well as the ones that say PayPal in the name, please, they’re relevant too.

Thanks. :)

Okay.

Please try the troubleshooting tips in the article I linked to. Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

Do you have a caching plugin? Make sure object and database caching are disabled.

Try to find out with them in what direction the communication problem may be.

Your logs that say ccbill or paypal in the name would be relevant. Look for entries after the 25th, see if there are any. You can send the FTP login and I can take a look at them to see if something jumps at me. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Hi Joe.

I’ll ask Jason about it, but regarding it being available from WordPress.org, yes it is, and updates would show in your installed plugins list when a new one becomes available. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-cache/

Mike, when it’s a subscription, the EOT time will be added to the profile when PayPal notifies s2Member that the subscription was ended. But with buy-now transactions the EOT time is set immediately.

Hi Iain.

The PayPal button will always take you to the PayPal site to pay. The ones that don’t take you off-site are the cards, but you have those disabled in the pro-form I see there.

Could you show me the shortcode you have now and the one you had before?

Hi Philip.

I’ll forward your feature request to Jason. :)

One of the reasons I think they cant cancel is because NOTHING shows up in the user paypal account about recurring billing to begin with.. The only thing that theY see in there account is the inital fee my site charges thats it. Nothing shows or says anything about recurring billing for my website in there account. I dont understand how on my end I can see it through my paypal manager account (users or members recurring billing) but the member who paid cant see any recurring statement on there paypal account and they are not able to cancel there membership from there own paypal account.

So the user is creating a subscription with their PayPal account? They login to their PayPal account to start the subscription?

Or are they paying for it at PayPal, but not logged in to their PayPal accounts? The latter would be possible if you have the PayPal recurring payments service that makes that possible (like PayPal Standard with ERP). If this were the case, then the subscription would be created outside of his PayPal account and could explain why it doesn’t show up in it.

When you see the subscription on your side, does it show as a PayPal user or not?

Now, if it’s actually paid from inside the PayPal account and not showing up there as an active subscription, then it sounds like a problem with PayPal. Did you try asking PayPal support about those particular subscriptions to find out why it may not be showing up on the customer side?

Hi Thomas.

i´m an absolute s2member fan and have the pro upgrade.
Have done many things with s2 – just everything regarding content access and restrictions along payments.

Thanks for the kudos! :)

Should i dive into custom fields etc..? (e.g. giving every external db field a wp custom field.. but to be honest i don´t know anything about custom fields and how they are used properly..)

Yes, you could use the custom profile fields to store the data, instead of a separate database. To import the values you already have, you can use the User Import tool. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export -› User/Member Importation[/hilite]

If the separate db is working for you, though, it may be best to continue with it and find how to tie it with WP.

Can s2member be helpful in retrieving external db data and display? (e.g. fetch field entry XY from ext mysql and display that entry for user A)

Not s2Member, but if you install a PHP execution plugin, you could have your own PHP queries right in the page/post where you need them.

Or should i look more into API etc..?

s2Member has the Notifications API that may be useful to send data to your script to store in the db. To retrieve data you’d have to use your own queries, or API calls, if your script has an API for data retrieval.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Marc-Andre.

There’s probably something affecting the parsing of the shortcode. Could you post a link to the page where the shortcode is so I take a look at the source code? I’d like to see if the button’s code is there. I’m guessing it’ll be, but corrupt, causing the button to not show.

Could you do the plugin and theme conflict tests? Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

cv0-cv9 are custom fields I deleted I assume?

Those are custom values that could be added in the shortcode’s [hilite mono]custom[/hilite] attribute. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> custom[/hilite]

How can I get rid of this?

To remove the other fields from the notification email, you’d have to edit the file where the email gets sent from. If you’re using the signup notification, then it’d be s2member\includes\classes\paypal-notify-in-subscr-or-wa-w-level.inc.php, search for [hilite mono]"( s2Member / API Notification Email ) - Signup"[/hilite].

Thank you very much and happy holidays;)

Thanks! Happy Holidays to you too. :)

Glad it helped!

Got ya, we’ll keep it in mind for the new generation of s2Member. Thanks for the input. :)

Hi James.

1. I want an initial registration fee to exist to have individuals become members (that I may choose to gift). The difference between a member and guest is simply ability to access ‘free content’.

Yes, you can do that. You can have Open Registrations for free users, and they’d have access to what’s public or protected at Level 0.

The paid content can be protected at Level 1 or higher, and those would be the levels you sell to the users to gain that access to content that isn’t free.

You can give a user any access manually editing their profiles without having them pay.

2. I would like the ability for people to pay to POST a new thread (similar to this one I am typing now), or reply / expand on a topic in a current thread. Can this be accomplished / integrated in a fairly seamless manner?

Here we’re using a customized installation of bbPress. WordPress normally doesn’t allow users to create pages/posts, and s2Member doesn’t add that ability.

s2Member can be integrated with bbPress to have some control over user’s access to the forums, although it’s not full control yet. You can read more about it here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress®[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Thank you Toyas, happy New Year to you too. :)
