I assume that what you are asking is how to allow a user to select the type of post category they want to be able to view on the registration screen?

If that’s the case, it’s a little more involved than Jordan’s option, but still very doable.

Let me know if you need something more complicated. Otherwise, Jordans’s option should work. Are you charging for memberships or just free memberships?

Dave

Do you mean that it redirects to the registration form or that it shows the registration form in your page?

Essentially, the s2member profile form IS the registration form except the username should be uneditable and any custom fields show show or hide or be uneditable based on your settings.

Can you upload a screenshot or can you give a demo login for me to see?

Thanks,
Dave

LOL, I was trying to not do everything for you… lol!

Ok,

1. ‘find the right hook’ means we have to find the right hook… I don’t know off the top of my head but I’ll see if I can find it and update this post.

2. I don’t know if this will work but try this:

<?php
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_login_redirect','my_login_function');

function my_login_function(){
	//Check to see if there is a page with that title in the system.
	$sql = "SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = '".S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN."' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'page' LIMIT 1";
	$count = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($sql));
	
	if($count == 1){
		wp_redirect(site_url(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN));
	}
	else {
		wp_redirect(site_url('trial/profile'));
	}
}

?>

Let me know if that works,

Dave

That actually is the natural way it’s set up (at least the free version).

If you click on the button without logging in first, after payment, it should re-direct you to the registration page.

Though, I’ve not tested it with pro, so I don’t know if there is something that switches that in the pro version.

Dave

You may be able to circumvent the login redirect with a hook. Maybe something like this:

<?php
add_action('find the right hook','my_login_function');

function my_login_function($user_id){
	//put a function here to get whatever name or username or id or whatever you are using as the page title.
	$sql = "";
	$un = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql));
	$username = $un[''];
	
	//Check to see if there is a page with that title in the system.
	$sql = "SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = '".$username."' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'page' LIMIT 1";
	$count = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($sql));
	
	if($count == 1){
		//Change the username to a slug like the page
		$page_slug = strtolower($username);	
		$page_slug = str_replace(' ','-',$page_slug);
		wp_redirect(site_url($page_slug));
	}
	else {
		wp_redirect(site_url('profile')); //replace profile with your profile page slug
	}
}

?>

I haven’t taken the time to find all the right hooks and everything, but that might help do what you want with a little updating.

Dave

I believe the way I described above will do exactly what you want if you are loading them in a protected page/post.

My understanding is that the download_key part of the shortcode creates a single use key for displaying an image that is protected.

So is should show up in your protected page “as if” it were not protected, yet will still be protected from the outside by being in the secured folder.

So if you are going to post them on a protected page, which is a good idea, then I would make your links like the one above to make them show.

Sorry if that doesn’t make sense, I’ll try to re-word it, but I think that solution should work.

Did you try it?

Dave

Vincent,

There are probably several ways to do this, the question is what is best for what you want to do.

If you want the content to show up on the same page, based on registration date, use something like this:

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 30){ ?>
    Put your drip content to Members that started paying you at least 30 days ago here.
<?php } ?>

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 60){ ?>
    Put your drip content to Members that started paying you at least 60 days ago here.
<?php } ?>

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 90){ ?>
    Put your drip content to Members that started paying you at least 90 days ago here.
<?php } ?>

You will need to enable a php plugin such as this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-execution-plugin/

Also, if you want newer content to show on the top each time, just reverse the order.

If you wanted to do this with different pages, then you just add the correct code to each page.

However, You would have to have some page that also drips links to the new pages like so:

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 30){ ?>
    <a href="content-drip-30-days">View Newest Content Here</a>
<?php } ?>

Unless you can hook into the menu and add new content pages dynamically…

Hope that makes sense.

Dave

I believe the pro version has this option, not sure about the “gifting” aspect though. Otherwise you would have to custom code that, unless there is another plugin out there that will work with s2member.

Basically, you need to be able to create and store coupon codes in the db. Then you need to check them when the user registers.

You can do the coupon checking by hooking into the s2member registration.

Then you need to update the paypal button (possibly shortcode) dynamically based on the coupon code.

:) Sound like fun? lol

It’s really not as bad as it sounds but if you’re not a programmer you might want to look for a plugin that will help or find someone as its a bit more involved than a simple shortcode. lol

Hope that helps or at least answers your question.

Dave

I believe that the link you click on sets a cookie. If that is the case, have you tried clicking on the link from another computer and registering, or clearing your cache between registering?

If that works, then we just need to find a way to disable the cookie after registration… or… there is another issue.

Try that and see if it makes a difference.

Dave

I’m not sure if this will work, but try under s2member->paypal options->automatic eot behavior->Membership EOT Behavior ( demote or delete )?

Try choosing delete and see if it will delete the member’s account if they are level 0. The problem is that at level 0 (subscriber) they still have an active wordpress account, so they can still log in.

I would suggest setting your members at level 1 and our content pages at access level 1 as well if you don’t want to delete the accounts, then they should be demoted to level 0 at eot.

Hope that helps.
Dave

Well… lol

1 & 4. It all depends on how you are going to set up your “memberships”. If you are using member levels, remember that the standard use allows higher levels to access all content of lower levels. So a level 5 person could access level 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 content. You may be able to accomplish this by setting up your memberships as custom capabilities that can be purchased.

Check out this video for more information about selling memberships with custom capabilities:

http://www.s2member.com/videos/A2C07377CF60025E/

Wordpress will only let a member create one wordpress account with each email address. However, by selling custom capabilities as memberships then you may be able to accomplish what you want to do.

2. Username is created by the user when he registers and you can decide if you want him to choose a password or have the system auto-generate one.

3. Yes -> go to Users and select the user click edit. You have the option to send it to them as well.

5. Your welcome. lol!

Hope that helps,

Dave

EDIT: There are 3 videos in that link. the second one is the most relevant but you may need to watch all three to get the gist.

To my knowledge, this is not a built in function of s2member. However, wordpress itself has a function that is supposed to do this:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url

Basically, if your wp_logout_url() has a valid link, the user should be re-direced to that page when they logout.

<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url('http://yoursite.com/goodbyepage'); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a>

Hope that helps,

Dave

Well, I think you have a couple of options.

You could track down the file that S2 uses to create that file. I don’t know which it is. But if you change that file then update your version at a later time, you will have to re-do it again if it gets replaced by a newer version.

The second option is to hook into the paypal return hook and re-direct to your own page.

That can be done like this:

<?php
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_paypal_return_during_subscr_signup_w_update_vars','my_pp_return');
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_paypal_return_during_subscr_signup_wo_update_vars','my_pp_return');
function my_pp_return(){
	//do any processing if you want...
	$thankyou_page = site_url('replace-with-your-thankyou-page-slug');
	
	wp_redirect($thankyou_page);
}
?>

In case you don’t know, that info should go in a new (or existing) file here: yourwebsite.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php

There are other hooks that you could possibly user for paypal return that can be found here:
http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/paypal/package-filters/

Hope that helps,

Dave

PS. I’ve not done extensive testing but it should work. :)
