Just taking a quick peek at the page source, it looks like they might be using bbpress plugin.

I’m not sure what (if any) updates or changes they made to it though as I’m not familiar with bbpress.

Here is the bbpress website:

http://bbpress.org/

Looking at the code, I don’t see any “push-button” way to do this.

There is no filter or hook that you can use to stop it either… mostly because that’s not the way most people want it to work. :)

However, you could probably create a function to hook into the auto_eot process before it starts, store the ccap options in a new variable, then run another function after the eot process that adds the ccaps back to the user.

should be simple… :) lol!

Dave

This option is available in the pro version (according to the s2member site).

From what I see in the pro documentation, it looks like it exports all the standard wp data as well as most if not all of the s2 data for each user.

I don’t use PRO so I can’t say for certain, but just based on research it looks like it can be done.

Dave

I don’t know if there is a way to make multiple registration forms with PRO but I know you can’t with the FREE version.

I would suggest what you already mentioned, using jquery to hide or show the fields that you want. So, you would create all the possible fields you want in the custom field creation section of s2member then filter them with Jquery.

Dave

To be sure, s2member is not for everyone. However, I would have to say that the evidence leans more toward the thousands of satisfied (non-programmer) customers that are able to use it every day.

If you have constructive ideas to make things better or if you have any specific questions, please feel free to mention them.

I see this is the only topic you’ve started, which means that you’re really not concerned about getting help or even trying to learn the product, but rather wish to blast it away just because it doesn’t do everything you want with one button push out of the box. lol.

I’m not saying that you are not intelligent or that you don’t have good ideas. But why not share them instead of just telling the plugin creator that they “lack clear thinking” just because you don’t see it the same way he or thousands of other users do.

Sorry to the rest of the forum for allowing this post to filter back to the top but it bugs me when people just blast something without using all methods available to get help.

Oh well, probably just a “Drive-by Poster” anyway… lol!

Dave

I just saw your other post about this and it looks like you want to use shortcode inside your shorcode for this function.

If so, you can change my function as follows and it should work to have shortcode in your text.

if( is_user_logged_in() && S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN == $user_id){
		$content = preg_replace('/(\[.*?\])/e',"do_shortcode('$1')", $content);
		
		return $content;
	}

Dave

OK

Well, let me say that PayPal does not make this easy.

1. They don’t allow trial periods over about 90 days if you are using the ‘D’ option.
2. They don’t allow second trial periods with no payment ($0.00).

Here is what, in my attempt, has to be done.

1. Create a trial period in MONTHS for the remaining months until July 1. Charge the full or reduced price, depending on the current month.
2. Create a second period in DAYS to run off any remaining days in June. Charge a $0.01 fee for paypal to accept the second trial period.
3. Set the standard rate and time period of 1 year that *should* start on July 1.

Now, to the code:

s2member doesn’t accept a second trial period. I don’t know if it matters if you add one or not, but it’s not an option in their button builder (at least not free).

NOTE: I’m on the free version of s2member and even then, the following code has only been minimally tested. I do not claim it’s perfection but it seemed to work for me in initial tests:

Basically, I’ve created a few functions along with a shortcode that you *should* be able to use to do what you want.

First, the shortcode:

[equal-time-pp full='' part='' code='']

This is the shortcode you use to place your buttons on the page/post.

3 Variables are available… really required.
1. full – This is the full amount you charge with trailing zeros. Example: 50.00
2. part – This is the partial payment you charge for Jan. – June registrations. Same format as above.
3. code – This is the s2member shortcode you can generate in the paypal button generator in s2member. NOTE: do not use the “[” or “/]” tags… just copy everything else in between them.

EXAMPLE S2MEMBER SHORTCODE:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="" ta="5.00" tp="1" tt="D" ra="10.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /] 

ONLY COPY THIS:

s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="" ta="5.00" tp="1" tt="D" ra="10.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button"

SO THE NEW SHORTCODE WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

[equal-time-pp full='50.00' part='30.00' code='s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="" ta="5.00" tp="1" tt="D" ra="10.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button"']

Clear as MUD? lol!

Now, you need to add this code probably to your functions.php file. It’s php code so make sure it’s inside the starting and ending php tags.

THE CODE:

function equal_time_pp_form($atts){
	
	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
		'full' => '0.01',
		'part' => '0.01',
		'code' => '[s2Member-PayPal-Button /]',
	), $atts ) );
	
	$full_price = $full; //full year membership
	
	$partial_price = $part; //half year membership

	$code = '['.$code.' /]';
	//This assumes full payment
	$first_trial_price = $full_price;

	//Calculate number of days through June 30.
	$month = date("n");
	
	//Get the number of days for second trial
	//Or first trial if less than 1 month
	$trial_days = trial_days();
	
	//Check what time of year current month is in
	if($month >= 7){
		//Add 6 months to first trial if after June 30
		$pay_months = (12 - $month) + 6;
	}
	else {
		//Months before June 30
		$pay_months = 6 - $month;
		
		//This is the short-term price for Jan - June.
		$first_trial_price = $partial_price;	
	}
	
	//Set Trial Info
	if($pay_months == 0){
		$first_trial_time = $trial_days;
		$first_trial_type = 'D';
		$first_trial_amount = $first_trial_price;
		$second_trial_time = $trial_days;
		$second_trial_type = 'D';
		$second_trial_amount = '0.01';
		$normal_time = '1';
		$normal_type = 'Y';
		$normal_amount = $full_price;
	}
	else {
		$first_trial_time = $pay_months;
		$first_trial_type = 'M';
		$first_trial_amount = $first_trial_price;
		$second_trial_time = $trial_days;
		$second_trial_type = 'D';
		$second_trial_amount = '0.01';
		$normal_time = '1';
		$normal_type = 'Y';
		$normal_amount = $full_price;
	}

	/* REPLACE SHORTCODE INFO WITH TRIAL INFO */
	$code = preg_replace('/ta=".*?"/','ta="'.$first_trial_amount.'"', $code);
	$code = preg_replace('/tp=".*?"/','tp="'.$first_trial_time.'"', $code);
	$code = preg_replace('/tt=".*?"/','tt="'.$first_trial_type.'"', $code);
	$code = preg_replace('/ra=".*?"/','ra="'.$normal_amount.'"', $code);
	$code = preg_replace('/rp=".*?"/','rp="'.$normal_time.'"', $code);
	$code = preg_replace('/rt=".*?"/','rt="'.$normal_type.'"', $code);
	
	//Add Hack to Include 2nd Trial
	add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_sc_paypal_button','edit_paypal_form');
	
	//Run modified s2member shortcode
	$pp_form = do_shortcode($code);
	
	//Remove Second Trial Hack To Keep From Affecting Other Forms
	remove_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_sc_paypal_button','edit_paypal_form');
	
	//Send form to browser
	return $pp_form;

}

add_shortcode('equal-time-pp','equal_time_pp_form');

function edit_paypal_form($vars=array())
{
	//Second Trial Variables
	$second_trial_time = trial_days();		
	$second_trial_type = 'D';		
	$second_trial_amount = '0.01';
	
	//Extra Code Added To S2Member PP Form
	$extra_items = '  ';
	
	//Replace With New Code
	$new_code = str_replace("",$extra_items,$vars['code']);

	//Upate PP Form Code
	$vars['code'] = $new_code;
}

function trial_days(){
	
	//Get number of days left in June
	$day = date("d");
	
	if($day > 30){
		$day = 30;
	}
	
	//Have to use 32 to make Paypal work right... I think.
	$trial_days = 32 - $day;
	
	return $trial_days;
}

Whew! That took a lot longer than I thought and of course, no guarantee it’s perfect but it seems it can be done… somehow.

LOL!

My opinion…

I would put it on the back-end site… however, that brings up the question of button generation, since you want the buttons on your other site.

I’m not sure if s2member has any ability to do this automatically or not.

My suggestion would be to create a button via s2member install on your back-end site, put it in a test page, load the test page and copy the html from the “view source” of that test page.

This is because s2member will add some data dynamically to the button from the system, such as notify and return urls.

By copying the source of your test button(s) you should be able to get all of that posted on your second site without any issues.

It’s kind of a pain and there may be a better solution that I’m not aware of with s2member, but that’s my 2 cents.

Dave

Sorry to hear all the issues with Siteground.

I’m sure it would be a pain to move, but I might be able to help you out. Feel free to contact me at dwelch @ itelves.com. (hopefully that’s allowed here)

I’ve been hosting on Hostgator for years and have never had any problems with outdated software or reps who blame the scripts, especially when the developer states their requirements.

Dave

Well, That’s basically what you are doing if you are using payment buttons (especially paypal) you can set the term, like $5 for 1 month or $20 for 1 year, etc.

Buttons can be set up for each membership type in s2member -> Paypal Buttons.

So, yes it can work that way. It doesn’t list the EOT (End Of Term) in the user profile by default, but the system does track it and there are settings for what happens when the EOT occurs in S2Member -> Paypal Options -> Automatic EOT Behavior

Hope that helps,

Dave

If someone is not registered, they shouldn’t be able to access your login welcome page. It should be auto-locked by the system.

What is the link to your login welcome page. I’ll see if I can access it without logging in.

If you don’t want to post it, you can e-mail me at dwelch @ itelves.com (don’t look at the old crappy site… lol).

Hopefully putting my e-mail in doesn’t get me booted… I didn’t see any rules posted. :)

Dave

try adding this in your function…

function dw_custom_redirect($vars = array()){

	//This redirects to the registration url (assuming it's a standard install)
	if( !is_user_logged_in() ){
	wp_redirect(site_url('/wp-login.php'));
	}
	exit();
	
}

Dave

Well, I don’t know if there is a plugin, but you could write a fairly simple script that reads the following variables:

%%current_user_login%% - username
%%current_user_logins%% - number of times the user has logged in.

Maybe a link like this:
http://yoursite.com/members/login-redirect.php?username=%%current_user_login%%&logins=%%current_user_logins%%

Then your php page could do something like this:

$username = $_GET['username'];
$logins = $_GET['logins'];

if($logins > 1){
//redirect to secondary page (you could add a function here to check a member's 
//option setting if you integrated that as mentioned in your post.
}
else {
//redirect to the profile page.
}

Something like that. lol :)
