After three months of operation, I’m now getting hit with “open registration” turned on at level 0, captcha on for free registration. Don’t dare send out to my list. I delete the accts but they keep hitting me.

How can we stop this type of registration?

Posted: Wednesday Jul 31st, 2013 at 11:29 am #54513

Thanks Mike – how about the SSl certificate that you buy from your web hosting company.? Doesn’t that encryption matter

Posted: Saturday Jul 13th, 2013 at 2:16 pm #53402

Works like a charm. Thanks

Posted: Friday Jul 12th, 2013 at 8:59 am #53345

And would this technique be applicable for use in any paid S2 – Pro Form?

Posted: Friday Jul 12th, 2013 at 8:58 am #53344

I only use one Pro Form per page. So, if I understand you … since I have existing Pro Forms generated, I can just add the snippet of code to the end of my existing forms without causing any harm to the original form. Correct?

Posted: Friday Jun 21st, 2013 at 7:46 am #52334

Could you tell me where I add the code… to my e-mail? Seems logical that I should place it after ‘charges today’ but I don’t know enough about which code is parsed first.

****************************************************************

Here’s what I currently use:

Thanks %%first_name%%! Your subscription has been approved.

%%item_name%%

Subscr. ID: %%subscr_id%%
Charges today: $%%initial%%
Recurring charges: $%%recurring/regular_cycle%%

Thank you. I assure you that this function is very important and I know it’s a complex issue.

Being able to display that function is important for compliance and accurate reporting with Dept of Revenues that require vendors to submit sales tax and Use tax returns. Without being able to break down the sale, accounting programs can’t accurately make calculations for reporting purposes to the Department of Revenue. As it stands now, unless you find to the contrary, this would force a compliant company to manually break out each transaction by hand. How are your existing clients dealing with this issue?

Furthermore, when use tax is applicable, the customer needs a clear indication that ‘no tax’ was collected by the vendor. There are also several States that require vendors to provide certain disclosures on their website at ‘checkout’ and or in their electronic order confirmations. To make matters worse ‘annual total sales’ notices to each residence and to the Department of Revenue must be reported by these States. THIS WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE without some accommodation for detailing whether zero tax was collected or not.

Once again, thanks for your assistance.

Posted: Wednesday Jun 19th, 2013 at 7:27 pm #52248

Thanks very much. I’ll look into that solution.

Christian,

Any word back from Jason on this? I am ready to launch my business and can’t until I know my limitations here.

Thanks

I’m posting this information in case someone else runs into this issue. I created a Customer Center for a simple means for my customers to perform all modifications to their accounts.

The problem, as described in this thread came from trying to place two modification of subscription forms on the same page for any one subscriber.

Since I am not an expert on code, I did use short coding that worked beautifully in displaying the correct content to each subscriber. However, I am probably lacking in advanced html to make two forms display to the same subscriber on a given page.

If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.

Otherwise, simple linking for us dummies works fine.

Posted: Sunday Jun 9th, 2013 at 8:03 am #51697

Went through the trouble shooting tips. The problem appears to be in the design of the page itself. I recreated a portion of the page and it worked fine. I should be able to close the ticket later today.

Thanks

Posted: Friday Jun 7th, 2013 at 7:05 am #51593

Ok, I’ll try that over the weekend and get back to you.

Thanks

Posted: Thursday Jun 6th, 2013 at 7:12 am #51480

How should I start debugging this? Suggestions?

Posted: Wednesday Jun 5th, 2013 at 6:42 pm #51433

I appreciate it. Let me know asap since I really can’t go live without this fixed or a valid workaround.

Posted: Saturday Jun 1st, 2013 at 5:29 am #51125

Guys- is there a response or are we closing the ticket here?

Thank you.

Posted: Saturday May 25th, 2013 at 10:25 am #50625

Christian,

I like your product but please excuse my frustration here. While I appreciate the support , let’s stay on topic. I have repeatedly stressed ADDRESS. Every day we waste valuable time going back and forth in a round about way on fringe topics that are no concern. If they were, I would have mentioned them in the first place. Translation is the least of my worries and either is collecting tax.

I would hope that S2 Member would already be aware of the details of using the Pro Form in a global enviorment. As such, I’ll explain it again and should we fail to connect this time let’s close the ticket and possibly your developer can get with PayPal or other shopping cart providers and see how their’s works to accommodate a greater audience than what is apparently becoming a US only form.

—————————–
Unless I have missed something, the Pro Form ‘for subscription levels’ is self generating (non editable for the field descriptions). Additional fields to the form are obtainable from “General Options – registration/profile fields & options” but these ADD information that may be required by users of software and are not a concern.

With that said, the best way to describe the problem is to view your own or someone else’s PayPal account and look at their form. You will notice that their form within the Virtual Terminal does not require a form field (by * asterisk ) for address. It’s optional information. Only a credit card number, credit card type and expiration date is required to complete any payment transaction. Pick any country and this holds true. If CV code is mandatory under S2, that’s not a problem.

This is exactly what I require due to the fact that neither I nor you can research every country’s postal designation and then come up with an all inclusive form. Since Pay Pal and most likely other cart developers have already ‘been there, done that’ it seems like the best solution. Users of your product should have the same customization options. Possibly we already do and I am not aware of how to do it or missed something on the forum or instructional videos. This may also require a hack but I don’t actively search for something that is normally beyond my scope of expertise.
—————————————
So how does one customize the Pro Forms to reflect this request? (also includes the free registration form)

Note: the request should also be supportive of any modification of subscription and update, change billing information request made by a customer and sections of S2 Member Pro.

I hope this clarifies the nature of this request.

Thanks in advance

Posted: Friday May 24th, 2013 at 6:59 am #50549

The complete billing address section of the Pro Form is subject to dependency of foreign address variations. Therefore, it may not work as a required field in Pro Form that is not recognized in a particular county could cause failure to accept the payment or worse abandonment of the shopping cart itself out of frustration.

Posted: Wednesday May 22nd, 2013 at 7:41 pm #50401

Thanks Bruce but that is not what I am referring to. As I said, some foreign customers do not follow the US Postal address system , ie City and State. How does one adjust for that when it’s a required filed? I have spoken to PayPal and their Virtual Terminal can process phone, fax and mail orders as a work around. However, that assumes customers are speaking English which is most likely not the case. Therefore, communication is a big problem and most likely eliminates this alternative. Thus, I still need assistance answering this.

Posted: Sunday May 19th, 2013 at 7:49 am #50197

Ronnie, thanks for trying to help. I understand currency versions. I’m referring to the form inputs that are required and seem to not be editable.

Posted: Wednesday May 15th, 2013 at 8:21 pm #50041

That already crossed my mind. I will try that but it will take me a week or so to get my SSL and PayPal account squared away for live transactions. Please leave the ticket open and I’ll update the status later.

Posted: Monday May 13th, 2013 at 7:34 pm #49891

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the follow up. Unfortunately the update v130510 has not resolved my problem. I followed the protocol for updating to the current version of S2 Standard and Pro. PayPal has enabled the transaction settings as you require. I’m still getting an Error #36. As I mentioned I’m working in the test mode. PayPal says that their bug fix that occurs in a test environment will not be active until June 1. Unfortunately, I’m not ready to go live with my site.

Can you suggest what is causing this error and a fix?

Posted: Saturday May 11th, 2013 at 12:09 pm #49744

Wp is asking for …. Your s2Member Pro Module must be updated to v130510+. Can’t find it on your site.

Posted: Wednesday May 8th, 2013 at 2:49 pm #49500

captcha=”clean” is already in the free registration form as it is self generating. This should be a simple process. The only thing I can think of is that when I got the key codes I used http://mikesinibaldi.com Is a possible cause of problem that I am still in development mode and using WP http://mikesinibaldi.com gridserver rather than mikesinibaldi.com?

Thanks
