We REALLY appreciate this request Kezz.

So in that regard, I have a quick question. Do you think you would consider a private area of the forum for folks who have upgraded to the Unlimited or Network licenses? The reason I ask is I’d like to share with your other customers some of the code I’ve developed for this new site, but given it shows my site’s infrastructure ideally it would be great if I could do so and yet not have the code samples totally public. Just a thought / idea of course though. :)

Our Customer Forums can be “read” by anyone in the public, but it’s not possible to post and/or reply to any topic created in our Customer Forums without being a Customer yourself. This makes our Customer Forum a great place to share information with everyone, but without needing to address future questions/concerns about your post from just anyone out there in the public.

I can certainly understand your desire to have a private area though, completely invisible to the public. I’m adding this to our list of things to discuss in the next conference call. That being said, we want to keep most information available for “read” access from the public, so adding a private forum (if not done properly) could create a problem in that regard (i.e. too many folks posting things privately, without warrant). In the mean time, if you have suggestions on how to prevent the normal flow of information from being posted into a completely private area all the time, please feel free to share. We value your feedback.

So sorry for the delayed response.
~ I’m reviewing this thread again now. One moment please.

Hi there. Thanks for the heads up on this thread Raam.

@Jacqueline

I’m sorry, but that documentation is no longer available. However, we’ll be happy to assist you here in the forums with anything related to the s2Clean theme. I’m posting some examples for you below of s2Clean’s Easy Columns.

Two column layout example…
(be sure your last column has the additional class ‘last’, as seen below)

<div class="with-2-4ths-column-width">
	Column content.
</div>

<div class="with-2-4ths-column-width last">
	Column content.
</div>

Four column layout example…
(be sure your last column has the additional class ‘last’, as seen below)

<div class="with-1-4th-column-width">
	Column content.
</div>

<div class="with-1-4th-column-width">
	Column content.
</div>

<div class="with-1-4th-column-width">
	Column content.
</div>

<div class="with-1-4th-column-width last">
	Column content.
</div>

While the on-site documentation is no longer available, all of these CSS utility classes are available for your review inside: /s2clean/colors/default/utilities.css. I’m posting a copy below.

Hi there. Thanks for your inquiry.

First, let me start by saying that s2Member Pro makes this much easier to accomplish, because it integrates One-Time-Offers upon login, where something like this could be easily configured from the Dashboard.

However, to answer your question. This is how you would accomplish this via Hooks/Filters.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
( these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins )

<?php
add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_login_redirect", "my_custom_login_redirect", 10, 2);
function my_custom_login_redirect($redirect, $vars = array())
	{
		// If you want s2Member to perform the redirect, return true.
		// return true;
		
		// Or, if you do NOT want s2Member to perform the redirect, return false.
		// return false;
		
		// Or, if you want s2Member to redirect, but to a custom URL, return that URL.
		// return 'http://www.example.com/reset-password-please/';
		
		// Or, just return what s2Member already says about the matter.
		return $redirect;
	}
?>

You could try something like this perhaps. So instead of disabling transitions, you would allow them to occur, but change where the User/Member ends up in this particular scenario.

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_before_auto_process_list_server_removals", "my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions");
function my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions($vars)
	{
		if($vars&#91;"mod_new_role"&#93; === "subscriber") // Transition to a special list ID.
			{
				$my_demoted_members_list_ID = "sse4Kjseo"; // MailChimp List ID here.
				$GLOBALS&#91;"WS_PLUGIN__"&#93;&#91;"s2member"&#93;&#91;"o"&#93;&#91;"level0_mailchimp_list_ids"&#93; = $my_demoted_members_list_ID;
				// ^ Updating this configuration value temporarily during this particular scenario.
			}
	}
?>

Using a BASE HREF tag in your HTML file might do the trick.

Untested, but you can give this a shot please.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
( these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins )

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_before_auto_process_list_server_removals", "my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions");
function my_auto_process_list_server_removal_exclusions($vars)
	{
		if($vars&#91;"mod_new_role"&#93; === "subscriber") // Remove, but don't transition them.
			$GLOBALS&#91;"WS_PLUGIN__"&#93;&#91;"s2member"&#93;&#91;"o"&#93;&#91;"custom_reg_auto_opt_out_transitions"&#93; = "0";

With some purchases the user is receiving new ccaps and also having their level changed. Would you be able to let me know how to process an email in this circumstance?

Sure. Please use the instructions I posted here for the Modification Email Subject/Message.

After payment via CC through PayPal the customer is shown a link that says: “Return to ____@_____.com”

Sorry, can you please confirm for me…
You’re referring to PayPal Express Checkout through a Pro Form?, or through a Standard PayPal Button?

Hi Peter. Thanks for your inquiry.

All Users/Members (Free Subscriber or otherwise), are automatically redirected to the configured Login Welcome Page for s2Member. As with any Post/Page on your site, the Login Welcome Page can be customized with Simple and/or Advanced Conditionals, and other API Functions or Constants made possible by s2Member.

For instance, if you wanted to show Free Subscribers a special message on their Login Welcome Page, you might do something like this in your WordPress Page editor.

[s2If current_user_is(subscriber)]
	You are a Free Subscriber, with the Username: [s2Get user_field="display_name" /]
[/s2If]

See Also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals
See Also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants

So sorry, we don’t offer custom installations and/or custom programming services here at s2Member.com. However, it sounds like s2Member’s Remote Operations API is what you need here.

If you have a developer working with you, they might be able to integrate your existing shopping cart system with s2Member, so that each new customer you process will be given a Level #1 account in your s2Member installation automatically. This can be accomplished in the following way.

1. Have your developer look at s2Member’s Remote Operations API in the Dashboard.
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API

2. Ask your developer to write a custom script that creates an s2Member account for each new customer using the s2Member Remote Operations API. A call to s2Member’s Remote Operations API, to create a new User account, should occur each time you process a transaction outside of s2Member.

3. Protect your files with s2Member at Membership Level #1. New accounts created automatically through the Remote Operations API, should be created with Level #1 access.

Regarding that central IPN example file…
you might transform it a bit and do something like this.

1. Configure the top of this file (as seen below).
2. Upload this file to your server.
3. Configure your 3rd party integration to forward IPNs to this script.

Result… this script will receive IPNs being forwarded from your 3rd party integration. This script modifies important variables such as “custom” and “item_number” to a format that s2Member can understand. This script will then forward the IPN again (after having modified it a bit), over to your actual s2Member installation.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Interesting. It might be worth taking a look at your custom application again, to see what fields it is actually searching through in the database. This might be the difference you’re seeing. WordPress with s2Member installed will search only through the following details for each user.

user_login
user_nicename
user_email
user_url
display_name
s2member_subscr_id
s2member_custom
s2member_custom_fields

Hi Will. I’ve just taken a look at your site.

Interesting. I’ve not yet been able to reproduce the issue that you reported. I reviewed your log files, your existing userbase and even created a test account. Everything seems to be working properly from my end.

Your s2Member log files indicate that all customers are processing successfully, and that all Custom Capabilities are being applied properly. I also tested with username “TestWSInc”, and Custom Capability “asl_expansion”. Upon accessing the account page, I receive a link to that CEU. Upon clicking that link I am granted access.

Sorry, please let us know what we’re missing? Thanks!
