Okay, I think i’ll integrate that with the Custom capabilities.

Lastly, I think I think I can streamline this more with some custom fields.

I think I will create a “Pay Per Post Settings” meta box where I can supply the price and a checkbox on whether or not to make it pay per post (still using custom cap). Then, in the template file, do a meta check for the checkbox, and if it’s true, then use the price I entered. Then, for the CC for the paypal button, I’ll simply make it unform soe something like “ppp_*post-id*”. Then, the user can purchase the CC through the PayPal button. The template will show content if current_user_can.

Then for the tracking feature, write some PHP to remove “post-” from the meta field, and add that to a user meta comma delimited value. When the user checks a custom page for the purchased posts, it will grab all the IDs, then query the posts according to those IDs and display the titles with permalinks.

Sweet. :) Hopefully it all runs smoothly.

Sorry Cristian, that post was done late at night after a long day’s work….

I am basically trying to add tracking for the buy now posts and here’s what I’ve come up with. For the code to be triggered after someone is brought back to the post from PayPal, for a Pay-per-Post transaction, I have come up with this:

– grab a post_purchase_count meta key from post purchased, add 1 to it, then resubmit to post data.
– grab user_id and post_id… Add the post_id to a user_ppp_access meta key.

Then, create a separate template page that will check for the logged in user, check the user_ppp_access key for any post_id values, then use those post_id values to populate a list of “Purchased Posts”.

Then, on the template for displaying theses posts, I’ll add a conditional that checks a) if user is logged in and b) if user has the specific posts ID in their user_ppp_access key. If both are true, it will display content.

I won’t need to rely on s2 hiding the content or protecting the whole URL (I wanted the URL accessible anyways), just using conditional and meta checks which is all part of WP core. Just using s2 for the ability to become a member and make the paypal purchase.

I realize I am typing “how I’m thinking” but I thought I’d write this out as a sort of code idea for anyone who is wanting to accomplish the same thing.

My other idea is to also incorporate, again via WP conditionals, a way for someone to have either a premium subscription or have purchased the post to view the content. Not so difficult as long as s2 properly writes the meta values after a successful purchase.

Can I request that as a feature? You see how awesome that would be right? Just like the envato marketplaces….

Imagine if you had a page that said it was purchased 4,000 times already… People would like it.

I’m trying to think how else I could do this. Adding some php to add it into the protected content I suppose?

Well, I’ve had 3 disputes so far… I offer a membership site that contains information. People can subscribe, claim someone hacked their Paypal account, then get refunded the money, but leave with all the knowledge from my site.

Sorry, I know the post seemed somewhat directionless, I was more or less thinking out loud… if there was a way to ensure that the users using the paypal account were the actual owners… but again, I think that’s impossible.

So the CSS has the same variables in the filename as the JS… Can I simply add it sans variables and it should be fine?

I suppose it is just CSS and not necessarily function.

That’s great news that they’re changing the filename variable dependency. Although people complain about not being able to minify with w3tc, they should just relax until its fixed, but still use the combine feature and serve from a CDN.. Being able to do so can drastically speed things up.

Thanks.

Thanks for both replies. I will use both.

I found the culprit, and I am going to suggest that maybe you guys look into a work around, as it’s a primary integration feature of your plugin…

Atleast for my setup, it was the “BP Template Pack” plugin… You know, the plugin they ask you to download that copies over template files making your theme BP compatible. It appears to be something with the JS/AJAX features, because when I actually check the option to “Disable BP Template Pack JS / AJAX” then the password check works for s2.

Also, I just tried the redirect for the wp-login.php… The password reset feature works fine, only issue is that if I use a login widget, and click “Log Me In” it must somehow pass something to wp-login.php and not let me login. I was locked out of my site for a moment.
