Have you tried using lower case and underscore in your spaces instead of the way it appears on the screen?

<?php
	add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_force_default_role", "default_role");
	function default_role($role){
		$return = 'calendar_contributor';
		return $return;
	}
?>

Hope that helps,

Dave

EDIT: I believe you will need to pass the s2member level capabilities to your custom role as well. Not 100% sure, but I think so.

Are the changes in custom capabilities being done after payment or are you manually changing them in the admin form?

Dave

You might try this:

function dw_user_registration_stats($user_id){
	//Your functions that need to run.
}

add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_after_configure_user_registration","dw_user_registration_stats");

This hook should run after s2member has finished all of it’s membership option settings and before the registration is completed.

Hope that helps.

Duh… sorry I didn’t catch the wrong name value.

True, you can’t update the shortcode that way and you can’t realy encrypt your button if you are doing it that way.

The only other way I can think of if you need encrypted buttons is to create a form that then is sent to a function in your functions.php page which dynamically creates the shortcode based on the input from the form. :)

So, for encrypted buttons it’s going to be more of a pain.

You might be able to update the button shortcode (or replace it) with jquery… though even then someone who knows what they are looking at could see your jquery code and the shortcode you are using so that may not be a good option either.

Dave

EDIT: Just wondering if they are donations, why the need for encryption?

You have the right idea. Just make the input:

<input type="text" name="ra" value="1.00" />

Replace 1.00 with whatever you want as the default.

Well under s2member->general options->login welcome page you can select any page in your wordpress install, OR if you want, you can put in your own url to another (protected) page.

Avoiding the membership page is a little more tricky. The easiest way I know of is to “hook” into the s2member code with something like this.

Create a directory in your wp-config called mu-plugins (if it’s not there).
Then create a file called s2-hacks.php (if it’s not there).
Then add this code to s2-hacks.php:

<?php

function no_mp_redirect(){
	wp-redirect(site_url('wp-login.php?action=register'));
}

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_membership_options_page','no_mp_redirect'); //This is a hook
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_wp_redirect_w_mop_vars','no_mp_redirect'); //This is another hook in the same class... I'm not sure which is the best to use.

?>

That should do what you want. I haven’t tested it thoroughly though so let me know if something weird happens! :)

The best way I can think of off the top of my head is to use the button html code from the paypal button generator, then just make the amount field visible so they can enter the amount they want to donate.

If you generate the code in the level that you want, I believe it will work no matter what price they put into the input button. If you watch the some of the videos from s2member you will notice that they often use different amounts for the same level on some of their paypal buttons, especially if they are using custom capabilities.

Hope that helps. Maybe there is a better solution but that one seems the easiest to integrate.

Have you tried using custom capabilities within your membership levels?

You can set up membership levels that have multiple types of custom capabilities. You can add those capabilities to your paypal buttons so they are automatically added. This is a great way they’ve built in to get around only having 4 paid memberships.

for example…

Level 1 with no cc
Level 1(-A) with cc: a_posts
Level 1(-B) with cc: a_posts, b_posts
Level 1(-C) with cc: a_posts, b_posts, a_videos
Level 1(-D) with cc: a_posts, b_posts, a_videos, b_videos

etc…

There is a video tutorial about this here: http://www.s2member.com/videos/A2C07377CF60025E/

Hope that helps.

Dave

Have you looked into the custom capabilities option of s2member?

I’m not 100% sure I understand your workflow, but that might let you add access to certian sections based on user level and custom capabilities…

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Dave

Is this happening for the admin or just users?

Dave

Hmm the only reason I could think of for leaving them in there is just in case the are in use by some members when the plugin is deleted. Being linked to a non-existant role would probably cause some errors for users.

Anyway, I just tried this plugin and it looks like it works pretty well: User Role Editor

You can find it by searching the new plugins section of your wordpress install.

You can edit role capabilities but it also offers the option to create or delete user roles.

Hope that helps

You only need to add your paypal information if you will be using any buttons generated by s2member for membership fees or buying posts, downloads, etc.

If you are just allowing anyone to join then upgrading manually, set your registration to OPEN in s2member->general options->open registration.

That will allow anyone to register on your site, then you can use the “user” section in your admin panel to update their membership type.

You also would not necessarily need a membership page, just direct people to the standard registration page wich is usually found here:

http://yoursite.com/wp-login?action=register

Hope that helps.
