bump – is this a Customer forum or a Community forum ?

thanks – I see that

But, can we do recurring payments (subscriptions) and allow the user to pay with a credit card ?

Thanks – I am starting to develop a picture of what is and is not possible but its still not really clear.

At the moment it looks like, using a PayPal Business account, I could setup recurring payments with PP buttons – but the customers would have to have PayPal accounts to subscribe this way.

Google also supports recurring payments but seems as if one needs a Wallet account to subscribe this way ?

My question is therefore: is there any way to create a subscription service where customers can pay with a Credit card ?

Perhaps you guys could start a separate knowledge base to keep abreast of these issues ?

They are complex and changing and intrinsic to s2member pro usage.

this is my s2member

120309

Also, alongside this is the issue of the checkout accepting customer credit cards

I have got a PayPal Business account (not pro) accepting cards for one-off payments (via s2member buttons)

Can Google checkout accept subscription payments with customer credit cards ?

bump

Thanks – look fwd to reply

thanks for the advice.

darn

is there any way a site admin could achieve something manually ?

Cristian, is there a bug in this code – it causes my page to go blank when I include it like this (with a user ID)

function get_s2member_custom_fields($user_id = $theUserID) {
    $return = array();
    $user = get_user_option('s2member_custom_fields', $user_id);

    foreach ((array)json_decode($GLOBALS['WS_PLUGIN__']['s2member']['o']['custom_reg_fields'], true) as $field) {
        if (isset($user[$field['id']])) {
            $return[$field['id']]['label'] = $field['label'];

            if (empty($field['options']))
                $return[$field['id']]['value'] = $user[$field['id']];
            else {
                $field['options'] = strpos($field['options'], "\n") ? explode("\n", $field['options']) : (array)$field['options'];
                foreach ($field['options'] as $option) {
                    $option = explode('|', $option);
                    $options[$option[0]] = $option[1];
                }
                foreach ((array)$user[$field['id']] as $choice)
                    $return[$field['id']]['options'][$choice] = $options[$choice];
            }
        }
    }
    return $return;
}
  

I understand but if you keep user meta data in a serialised array you could help me to extract that data in a meaningful way – that’s after all, at least partly what the support forums are about…no ?

I have posted some custom code that has made an attempt to get the data I need but is clearly not the full solution.

What I am asking for is help completing what I have attempted to start myself. This is consistent with other posts where users have subsequently had a good level of support for their custom coding.

If you don’t want to help me can you ask Jason to post me an answer, as I am not aware that an answer to this specific question exists anywhere at this time in your support forums.

If it does, simply point me to it

Thanks

Thanks Raam

I had already read that thread – its not really aimed at what I am trying to achieve

Or, to put it another way, it relates to a method of searching users for custom fields and I am not clever enough to work out how to extract from it the information I need to:

Print/echo data from user meta fields (using an author ID)

I have tried this:

(it breaks the page)

and this:

(it returns ‘Array’)

buyer_country_usa is a multi-option checkbox field

Cheers

Can you help ?

I have managed to use the plugin: Developer’s custom fields, to register a custom field for an s2member role:

The new field now shows in the back-end edit-user screen for only that user role.

GREAT

I need to get this new field to be editable in the s2member front-end user profile management screen.

The answer is here in the plugin’s documentation, but I am not experienced enough to work out how to do it

http://sltaylor.co.uk/wordpress/plugins/slt-custom-fields/docs/

I know I have to edit the s2member plugin here:

s2member/includes/classes/profile-in.inc.php

But I need someone to tell me what code from the plugin documentation to add to the above php file

Help ?
