Hi Jason,
For sure, I totally understand – I hadn’t considered the element of things being posted in a private area that really ought not to be, like support questions where it helps to have the answers visible to as many people as possible. I can see how that could be a problem.
Perhaps then some type of resource sharing area could work rather than a general discussion room? Possibly with a directive that support queries should all be directed to the main Customer Forum? Potentially a spot where people using s2Member in their business (which I’m assuming most Unlimited & Network users do) could network and discuss with one another the strategic side of Membership sites in business moreso than the technical? Just thinking out loud though, so as to whether any of this is practical at all who knows. :-)
Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction re. the cbt field. Oh if only I could just use Website Payments Pro, but in Australia you must supply two years of trading history before you are eligible and hence my relatively new business cannot yet apply….sigh….
At the moment I run a series of conditional checks that go on to generate one of 11 possible strings which I then process as s2Member button shortcodes outputting URLs.
For e.g.:
$link = 'href="'.do_shortcode( '[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="'.$level.'" ccaps="'.$ccaps.'" desc="'.get_the_title().'" ps="_____" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www._____.com" ra="'.$price.'" rp="1" rt="L" rr="BN" image="default" output="url" /]' ).'"';
These URLs are dynamically generated for each product, and there will be quite a high number of products as I move forward, which is why I am using an automated process to create the buy buttons for each one.
I’m thinking what I could do is instead have the full PayPal button URL generated instead. However, I am really hoping to use s2Member’s encryption processes so people can’t change the values in the URL.
If I have a string generated for the PayPal button URL, would there be any way at all that I could still pass it through s2Member’s encryption functions?
I realize that I’m probably hovering on the border here of whats covered by your Support Services, so if I’ve stepped outside that line please just let me know.
Thanks!
