This will require some custom coding, but there are hooks/filters in the s2Member® software to make this possible. Please see this file: /s2member/includes/classes/users-list-in.inc.php.

What am I doing wrong? Also, I think I might be going a bit crazy, because when I send a subscriber straight to paypal he/she doesn’t come back with a user account and/or membership level automatically. Right? Subscribers need to sign up again in our site, right? Or am I missing something large. I think I’m missing something…

That’s right, however s2Member® knows what they purchased access to, so you can use conditionals in your email message body as you’ve done here. However, you should have just this for the desired result please.

<?php if($paypal['level'] === '1'): ?>
You're gonna know this is email 1 designed for level 1, %%first_name%%, because that's how this muthafucka designed it. You can create your user and password here: %%registration_url%%
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($paypal['level'] === '2'): ?>
Hola %%first_name%%!  

Gracias por suscribirte a BCN MES. Ahora tienes acceso a totalmente tot. Have fun in there y no dudes de contactarnos con ideas para artículos, eventos, etc. 

Si tens preguntes, ja tu saps. Aquí estem. 

Big barna love,
BCN MES

@bcnmes

Sounds good. When you say dashboard you mean I can drop that php directly into the message box?

Exactly. Right into the textarea field for the message body.

@bcnmes

This is actually a bit easier in the latest release of s2Member®.

You can just use PHP code in the Dashboard when you configure your email messages.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email(s)

EXAMPLE

<?php if($paypal&#91;'level'&#93; === '1'): ?>
	Email for Membership Level 1
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($paypal&#91;'level'&#93; === '2'): ?>
	Email for Membership Level 2
<?php endif; ?>

@duzman2000

Remove the double quotes (change user_is to current_user_is); you should be good :-)

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1) OR current_user_is(4,s2member_level2)]
	This is content for all level 1 users and also the user with the User ID of 4 who is a level 2 access. (level 2 access to level 1 content has been cut off by in normal circumstances by the Capability Manager plug-in)
[/s2If]

Then what is the Special Redirection URL for?

This allows you to setup any URL you like (other than the home page). So for instance if you were running BuddyPress, you can create a dynamic URL using Replacement Codes provided by s2Member®; or if you have another URL on the site that is not necessarily a Post or a Page in WordPress® you can configure s2Member® to use that :-) Pretty much anything but the home page.

Mike, then why is there is a Special Redirection option? That tells me it gives the Admin the option of sending Users anywhere, and I’d like that to be the home page.

I want it to work like the Widget works.

This configuration option in s2Member® is a bit different from a simple redirection alone. While it does control the redirection upon login, it also designates a particular page on your site as being “THE” page where people access their account with you; and this page must not be visible to the public (e.g. s2Member auto-protects your Login Welcome Page). For this reason, the home page cannot be used. Anything else you like is fine, but the home page is never protected by s2Member® because it can cause much confusion and potentially make your site completely inaccessible by anyone.

@Alternatewords

This will most likely require a custom filter applied to get_user_metadata

Something like this perhaps.

Please create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php
(NOTE: these are MUST USE plugins, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins)
(See also: http://www.s2member.com/kb/hacking-s2member/)

<?php
add_filter('get_user_metadata', 's2_user_metadata', 10, 4);
function s2_user_metadata($current_filter_value, $user_id, $key, $single)
	{
		if(is_null($current_filter_value) && $key === 'user_url')
			$current_filter_value = get_user_field('user_url', $user_id);
		
		return $current_filter_value;
	}

Are you currently using PayPal® Buttons?
If so, you probably want to switch over to Pro Forms now that you have s2Member® Pro.
Please see: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Pro Forms

1 – Given the above information, we do not have any need for the Membership Options Page; Does S2member still operate without this page?

Yes, and I agree; you won’t need this in that scenario. You’ll still create the page, but you won’t need to put any payment details on it. Instead, I would just put up some details that explain the visitor has accessed a protected area of the site, and perhaps some details about what’s required to gain access.

2 – Do IPN Communications still work with Online Invoicing? i.e. Does S2member still notify us when a customer pays an invoice, or if there is a cancellation, refund or chargeback? Are there any additional configurations needed for this function to work?

Yes, just be sure to follow the instructions provided by s2Member® in the Dashboard. You’ll need to setup your IPN URL at PayPal.com so that your PayPal account is connected to your s2Member® installation. See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration

When you process an order, you’ll be doing it manually. Whenever you create and/or update a user’s account, be sure to choose PayPal from the list of payment gateways (e.g. when creating or updating a User in the Dashboard); and paste in the PayPal Subscription ID (or a Transaction ID) so that s2Member® and PayPal can communicate with each other.

3 – I understand that S2member uses the same login form/page for both the administrator and subscribers. Is it possible to have a separate, dedicated login form/page just for subscribers? How?

Yes, please see: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Login Widgets
Pre Sale FAQs » Is there a way to call upon the Pro Login Widget directly?
