Hi…

It looks as if I’m having the same problem when trying to configure CloudFront. I get the following error:

—

Unable to auto-configure Amazon® CloudFront Distributions.
Error code: 400. Error Message: Unable to create Amazon® CloudFront Downloads Distro. Unable to create Amazon® CloudFront Downloads Distro. Bad Request

I managed to set up S3/CDN fine… that’s all working as it should.

I’ve double checked I’m using the right keys and followed the video tutorial exactly.

I amended the /s2member/includes/classes/utils-urls.inc.php file and /wp-includes/class-http.php file as above… but no change.

The only thing I can think it might be is the way the server is set up maybe? The site is hosted on Media Temple’s Grid Servers…

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Adrian… OK. This is what I’ve done and it seems to be working.

Step 1

I have 2 separate membership levels: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 can only access Level 1, level 2 can only access Level 2. Access to the levels are controlled by categories and tags, so if I either tag a piece of content with the tag ‘level1’ or place a piece of content in ‘level1’ category only Level 1 users will be able to see it.

I create ‘level1’ category and tag, and then ‘level2’ category and tag within WordPress

I’ll go on and explain how you get to sign up users and assign the relevant tags and categories to them.

Step 2

In the theme’s functions.php I added the following code:

—

#—————————————————————–
# Custom Capabilities
#—————————————————————–

add_action (“template_redirect”, “my_custom_capabilities”);

function my_custom_capabilities ()

{

if(has_tag(“level1”) && !current_user_can (“access_s2member_ccap_level1”))
{
header (“Location: “. S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
exit ();
}

else if(has_category(“level1”) && !current_user_can (“access_s2member_ccap_level1”))
{
header (“Location: “. S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
exit ();
}

else if(has_tag(“level2”) && !current_user_can (“access_s2member_ccap_level2”))
{
header (“Location: “. S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
exit ();
}

else if(has_category(“level2”) && !current_user_can (“access_s2member_ccap_level2”))
{
header (“Location: “. S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL);
exit ();
}

}

Step 3

I use PayPal Pro Forms to sign up members… Below is an example of the form/code I used in a page for signing up a user for Level 1 and again for level 2.

—

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="1" ccaps="level1" desc="£14.95 GBP / Monthly ( recurring charge, for ongoing access )" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="GBP" dg="0" ns="1" custom="yourdomain.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="14.95" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]

and for level 2

—

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="1" ccaps="level2" desc="£14.95 GBP / Monthly ( recurring charge, for ongoing access )" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="GBP" dg="0" ns="1" custom="yourdomain.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="14.95" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]

Step 4

I created a page called ‘Upgrades’

Step 5

In S2Member>General Options>Membership Options Page, I chose the ‘Upgrades’ page from the ‘Membership Options Page:’ drop down list.

Outcome

So now when a Level 1 member tries to view any content either tagged or categorised as ‘Level 2’, they get sent to the ‘Upgrades’ page… and vice versa.

To Do

Now I’ve just got to work out what to put on the upgrades page to upgrade a membership!!! Might have to do that process manually via payPal to increase the monthly sum and then add the additional tag/category into the user’s profile.

Hope that made sense!

Hi…

I too am looking for similar functionality and can’t seem to find a solution/option within s2Member.

Rather than products (as Adrian’s above) I have a number of different membership levels and have managed to split them up individually i.e. Level 1 membership has access to Level 1, Level 2 membership has access to Level 2 membership etc.

What I’m trying to do is if Level 1 tries to view some Level 2 content they get redirected to an upgrade page which gives them the option to upgrade to Level 2.

Also hope that makes sense. Don’t think it’s a million miles away from Adrian’s issue.

Any help greatly appreciated.
