…. yes it does. The attribute is for a lightbox script. I also set the inline extensions to alway play this type of video inline (webm)….. but s2m still pops-up the download conf mssg.

THe only thing that suppresses it is implementing the global s2hacks.php file (muplugins). Any idea of how i might fool s2member into thinking it’s ok to play the file w/o confirmation?

MYSTERY SOLVED. sort of.

Do i get a prize for uncovering two bugs / anomalies in the system in one day?

1) see above for the possible excel issue w/import -export

2) Cris was right about the underscore character — i_does cause strange problems. It looks like all of my issues with some videos refusing to load/play in Safari +++ issues with the jwplayer reading a file embedded using the custom code provided on s2m (see above : refusing to load file) — have_all_disappeared!

I hope you can replicate these issues and revise your documentation. It’s bound to come up again with other users and causes a big headache. I lost more than a day on this, but now it looks good.

BTW it would be incrediblly useful to see a FULL example of a jwplayer embed using all shortcodes + advanced option blocks included – base 64 encoded! >> playlist with dual video resolutions, multiple captions, extra mayo.

yes, and I’ve actually decided to do -away with all underscores in the ccaps names (my site has several) BUT — now i cannot get the user import function to work! i have updated all pages (hundreds) to the new ccap names and now i simply cannot update the user accounts (>500) !!! this is bad. I have simply exported (using Default option), changed the ccaps column — nothing else — saved in same csv format and imported. Nothing. The s2member feedback confirms this: “Operation complete. Users/Members imported: 0.”

(I imported w/o including the admin line)

What am i doing wrong? I am really in a bind now that i’ve revised every page’s ccaps, The site will be down before i spend the hours to change again every page (~200).

Ok am trying that (it’s not cloudfront/amazon btw) — but i do not understand the instructions here:

your info says the path to the file within the player should be this:
{…. file: ‘/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2member-file-inline/’}

…. Does that mean i need to create and place the file in a dir named “s2memberinline” ?? What iof i’m using separate ccap folders? My current existing path looks like this:

domain/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/access-s2member-ccap-my_ccap

–???

nope — it’s still there. Open reg is turned-off but the registration link on the login page is still there. I tried emptying the cache (wordpress). Have a look and tell me if you see it:

http://www.semantica-portuguese.com/wp-login.php

… on the login page — there is always a link to register even with “open reg” turned -off! This really surprised me.

Thanks Bruce — I just wanted to make sure i wasn;t using the special post/page feature incorrectly (ie, newbie).

I’m doing it with caps now.

The name of the game is UN-facilitating sharing of content — making it less convenient. Studies show that people are far less apt to share when they need to lend a password or zip and ftp a file etc.

I would love to see an s2m feature that issues an expiring scrambled link to something within the protected files folder!

I want to be able to offer restricted page access as well as make it less EASY for the person buying to share the download link with the world.

In other words: The specific page/post is a url that expires — i thought that the url to anything linked as a download would be as well. That’s why I assumed I could link from within the s2member folder.

I realize that even if the download url were to expire, the customer could still download the item and post on the internet for all-time — but that is much more difficult than simply giving away the url to the customer — a url that will work as long as the file is on the server.

I guess I don’t get what the point is of restricting page access if the url to the downloadable — the main thing one wants to “restrict” is simply given away.

ahhhh now i see the reason — paypal uses a different page template for subscriptions vs. one-time purchases. Geeeeeeeez.

Yes, I was getting a 404 … now i see it! I’ve sent in a request to my provider asking them to increase the allocation. Obrigado Cristián!

You guys must *love helping non-coders ;-)
Ok, so now i have in my button shortcode, something like this:

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" level="1" ccaps="top_secret_content" desc="Press this button now or else" custom="online.semantica-portuguese.com|top_secret_content" tp="0" tt="D" captcha="clean" /]

….and then i am going to pick up this custom variable in the email message by calling up %%cv1%%

If that’s correct my only question would be, why do i need to do this when the button already knows that the ccaps is “top_secret_content” …. ?

It is enabled.
Very odd — especially in light of the fact that my other install of s2member — another sub-domain shows this column just fine.
