Re: level 1 access via email activation link

Hi Ace. I got the html to appears in the email which is great. However, when I hover over the link, the path is wrong. It points to nowhere, meaning it's empty.

Also, is it possible to still use Cristian's hack to automatically log the user in when they click on that link you created, then navigating to a page to activate them using your code. The code for the hack I was using was in this file (s2hacks.php in mu_plugins):

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_configure_user_registration_front_side', 's2_auto_login_after_registration');
function s2_auto_login_after_registration($vars = array()) {
wp_set_auth_cookie($vars['user_id'], false, is_ssl());
wp_redirect('http://www.domain.com/welcome' . '?first');
exit;
}
?>

OR, is there a trigger in s2member for logging in the first time (only)?

I edited the post I did above with the link to allow HTML.

hi again Ace. The problem with the above code is that what if someone finds out what the id is for Admin then changes his role.

So only members who have level 0 privilege (they've signed which means they can log in) and who do not have admin role will be upgraded. Based on that logic, what can be changed on the following to make it so that if an admin hits that script on a page, he does not downgrade his role?

This does not seem to work:

[s2If current_user_is_not(administrator)]
[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level0)]
ID);
$user->set_role("s2member_level1"); ?>
[/s2If]
[/s2If]

Hi Ace. For some reason, that code above will not work now like it did a few days ago ...

if (!empty($_REQUEST['id']))
{
$user = new WP_User($_REQUEST['id']);
$user->set_role("s2member_level1");
}
else
{
//Regular content
}
?>

I'm just trying to hit that page via the url such as http://www.domain.com/page?id=50

But the user does not upgrade from level 0 to level 1 now.

Did any recent upgrade to s2member prevent that code from working. I have php execution installed and can run php on a page (tested in using hello world script).

Ah, yes. It looks as though you can't put forms into e-mails. Instead, use the $_GET method. Just use the replacement code %%user_id%% like this:

http://example.com/my-page?id=%%user_id%%

okay great. That worked, at least from the url. If I wanted to do that from a form though, I've placed the html into the new user email configuration but the email output is raw html code. Any suggestions on getting to work? does the new user email configuration recognize html code?

try the edited code from my earlier post, replacing $_POST with $_REQUEST... then if you're going to use the ?id=43, it should work.

I'd like to try to use your method and add in that html into that custom email field. Why wouldn't it recognize html code?

The code for the e-mail is HTML, so you don't need PHP for it.

What might be causing that is that you're using the $_GET method for it. If you want to do it like that, try using the $_REQUEST['']; function instead, which can be used for both post and get methods.

Okay, thanks for that but I added that html into the custom email area and inside the email was the html. Do I need to wrap php code around all of that?

Just to test it out, I tried it in the url using... http://www.domain.com/email-validate?id=43

But the level did not change from level0 to level1.

@seozones

Could it have something to do with an else function not being placed?

Hi again seozones,

This is mostly for those not as experienced with s2Member, or with PHP/HTML, therefore not directed at seozones himself, but those who may be interested in this for their own sites.

Here's a simple, easy way to get this working on your site.

There are 2 things that need to be set up in order to get this to work, the e-mail, and the page.

In order to get the e-mail set up, you first need to enable custom e-mail settings via Dashboard -> s2Member -> General Options -> Email Configuration

1.png

This is an example code that needs to be added to the e-mail.

(EDIT: in order to get this to work, follow the instructions in viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15226 to change the form to accept HTML)

Code:: To finish the registration process, click here.

This creates a link that cannot be replicated, and only works if used through the e-mail.

Then, the action="" part of the code should be customized to the page that is being used.

The page should contain this code, which can be customized to how you like it. Really, any page could be used, as long as the conditionals block the normal output.

This is the code that will bump the user to level 1.

Code:: if (!empty($_POST['id'])) { $user = new WP_User($_POST['id']); $user->set_role("s2member_level1"); } else { //Regular content } ?>

And that does it. If the user got the e-mail, they should click on the link, it checks to see if the id is posted, then, if it is, it bumps the user who clicked the e-mail's account to s2Member Level 1 whether they are logged in or not.

Cheers!

Okay, I just tried that but it keeps changing my admin role to level 1. Why would it be doing that. Is it because admin encompasses all roles?

Is there a code for is not administrator?

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-13T23:16:13-05:00

Try just
[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level0)]

then there is no chance of you having to go through that again.

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-13T23:13:01-05:00

Okay, so I have this:

[s2If is_user_logged_in() AND current_user_is(s2member_level0)]
ID);
$user->set_role("s2member_level1"); ?>
[/s2If]

If I'm logged in as admin, I shouldn't be affected, right? Only users who log in who have level0 access will be bumped up to level1 access. Does that code look correct then?

Well at least we know it works! ( )

This page can help you do that.
http://www.dnawebagency.com/how-to-add- ... s-database

Try using the current_user_is('s2member_level0') function instead.

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-13T17:42:51-05:00

Okay, now I've screwed myself

I added this bit of code onto a page:

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]
$user = new WP_User(wp_get_current_user()->ID);
$user->set_role("s2member_level1");
[/s2If]

I logged in as admin and it changed my role from admin to level 1! What do I change now to get my admin role back?

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-13T10:31:09-05:00

The email validation is possible. I found the code for bumping a member to level 1:

Code:: $user = new WP_User(wp_get_current_user()->ID); $user->set_role("s2member_level1");

You could wrap this in conditionals (Dashboard -> s2Member -> API/Scripting -> Simple Shortcode/Conditionals) to see if the user is logged in, and if they are already level 1.
This would be in a post or page of your liking that is private.

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-12T21:20:24-05:00

so is there an activation page or script built into s2member or s2member pro that can do this?

I guess I could set it up so all pages are accessed if a user is logged in. which of course would mean they registered and successfully logged in.

Okay, how about we disregard the email validation then. is there no other way to make it so that open enrollment can be bumped up to level 1 access upon a successful registration?

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-12T21:08:35-05:00

Not directly, it would need to direct a member to an activation page, which would then upgrade them to level 1.

Re: level 1 access via email activation link

2011-09-12T20:58:13-05:00

so an email activation cannot trigger moving from level 0 to level 1?
