Can this method also be used to create a specific paid registration date? For example, if I want all memberships to begin on the first of the next month? I realize I'd have to edit the Paypal buttons every month but that would be no biggie.

Sorry for these three quick post but I found the answer here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=570&p=2325&hilit=specific+EOT+date#p2325

Sometimes you just need to know how to ask the question. s2Member continues to blow me away with it's abilities. An awesome application (more than a plugin)!!

PS this may be a better way of asking for what I need.

How can I set the EOT date to a specific date and not a set number of days, weeks, months or years from the date of registration? : )

Elizabeth, I apologize for the slow reply; I have been knee deep in other parts of our website.

If I understand you right you are saying this is controlled by PayPal. If that's the case I'm cooked or I don't understand the parameters. It seems that I can choose a set number of days, weeks, months or years, but that is still a rolling date; always whatever time period chosen beyond the registration date. I somehow need to define a specific date that "all" registrations expire. It seems baffling that no one else has asked this question.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Check out the HTML Variables for Subscribe Buttons this from PayPal:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables#id08A6HI00JQU
They have a variable:
p3 (Subscription duration. Specify an integer value in the allowable range for the units of duration that you specify with t3.)
Maybe you can use it with the Advance Button Code Generator for PayPal in s2Member?

Memberships all end on the same day

2010-08-09T10:03:08-05:00

Is there a way to have all annual memberships expire on the same day?

I belong to a photography club and would like to use S2member on our website but our annual membership is from Oct 1st to Sept 30th. And we need all memberships to expire on Sept 30th.

There is another issue as well. We have our membership push in August and September: we would like new members who sign-up anytime in this period to have their membership extend till Sept 30th of the year following sign-up. So if they purchase membership in Aug/Sept of 2010 their expiration date wouldn't be until Sept 30th 2011.

Plus any existing member who purchases renewal membership prior to expiration to be extended to the Sept of the folloing year as well.

Is this possible and if so how. I can only assume it's through the coding of the paypal button but have no idea how.

Thanks,
Chip
