Free Registration @ Different Levels

[Jason Caldwell]

s2Member deals with Levels [0-4]. These Levels are detected automatically during Registration. In other words, the Registration Form is adjusted automatically, based on the Level that a Customer purchases access to. As of s2Member v3.2.7+, you can also configure Custom Fields at different Levels, so the Registration Form will change in appearance if/when you have different Fields configured.

Now, if it's a free Registration, s2Member always defaults to Level # 0 ( a Free Subscriber ). So this works perfectly. However, in some cases, you may wish to offer Free Membership at multiple/different Levels, instead of Level #0 by itself. Since s2Member expects Levels 1-4 to be "paid for", you will have to link to the Registration Form in a more "advanced way" if you intend to offer these Levels [1-4] for free.

You can use this function to create a link that will allow "Paid Registration Access" for "Free" instead of requiring a Customer to go through PayPal®. This same function is often used by other gateways providers that intend to interface with s2Member, so you can adapt this to your situation; as needed.

Code: Select all

$link = c_ws_plugin__s2member_register_access::register_link_gen
($subscr_gateway, $subscr_id, $custom, $item_number, $shrink);  

$subscr_gateway = the paid subscription gateway code ( usually: paypal ).
$subscr_id = the paid transaction ID, or use time() if there was no transaction.
$custom = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] ( must match the domain hosting the s2Member installation )
$item_number = 1,2,3 or 4 ( the Level number that a Customer will go in as during registration )
$shrink = ( false ) return the URL in full format, or ( true / return a tinyURL for emailing ).

Sending a Customer to the link produced by this function, will ultimately set four encrypted cookies, that s2Member will read in automatically, and ALLOW registration temporarily ( one time ).

Additional details ( optional ).

$subscr_gateway ( possible values )
paypal, authnet, google, clickbank, alipay, ccbill
( or use a custom gateway value: my-gateway )
( or you can just use the word: none )

$item_number could also include
Custom Capabilities, and/or a fixed term length.

$item_number = 1,2,3, or 4
-- OR --
$item_number = level:custom capabilities:fixed term
( ex: 1:music,videos:1 M )

Which means:
Level #1 access, + music,videos as Custom Capabilities - account expires in 1 month.

Here is more of a real-world example of how this might be implemented on your site.
Inside the functions.php file for your WordPress® theme, insert a snippet like this:

Code: Select all

add_action("init", "register_level");
function register_level(){
    if(isset($_GET["register_level"])){
        $link = c_ws_plugin__s2member_register_access::register_link_gen ("none", "-", $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"], $_GET["register_level"], false);
        wp_redirect($link); exit();
    }
}   

Here are how the actual links would be formulated:

Code: Select all

http://example.com/?register_level=1
http://example.com/?register_level=2
http://example.com/?register_level=3
http://example.com/?register_level=4

The code samples documented above;
have just been updated for compatibility with s2Member v3.5+.

I've also done a video tutorial, showing an easier way to accomplish this with s2Member Pro.

Hi,

i´ve tried the code with OptimizePress, but get an error.

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/sczopp/public_html/webvideoakademie.com/wp-content/themes/OptimizePress/functions.php on line 1

If I try it with Profitstheme it works just fine. How can I fix it on OptimizePress?

Thanks

[Jason Caldwell]

Thanks for your follow-up on this thread.
This error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}'", would suggest there is a PHP syntax error in your code, and not so much an incompatibility with your theme. To confirm this, can you please post your full code for review?

That looks good from my end. If problems persist, please try this instead.

Remove the code from your functions.php file, and instead create this directory and file:

Hi, Jason,
I have installed s2Member free on my new website and set up everything per your instructions - except for PayPal, which we don't want. We want members to apply through the registration process - but we never plan to accept payment on online as membership applications need to be pre-approved - and there will be no charge in most cases. When there is a payment, it will be handled by phone or mail. If we don't integrate paypal, how do I get the registration/log-in form to appear? I created the form in the options area and designated the correct page, but nothing shows up.

Also, I know how to turn on the members in the member admin section - and have tested it with a friend's email - but I don't see any log-in area on the protected pages. Once a member is logged in, will they automatically have access to all protected pages at their level, or will they need to login to each individual protected page?

Thanks for your help.

With s2Member (free), or with s2Member Pro, you can always create User accounts manually in your Dashboard, and have the Username/Password emailed to them, which also contains a link to log in.

Either that, or you may choose to generate Registration Access Links manually with s2Member. Even if you're NOT running PayPal, you can still use s2Member's Registration Access Link generator, as seen in the screenshot below, under the PayPal Buttons section of your Dashboard.

In other words, you can make s2Member think that they've paid you, and that now it's time to register. This works regardless of whether a particular User has paid you, or not.
( click to enlarge )

When you fill in the Paid Subscr. ID field, make sure it's a unique value for each User. You can make up a value of your own if you like, just be sure it's unique. Once the link is generated, email that link to your customer (or whatever), and the Registration Access Link will allow them to register exactly ONE time on your site, at whatever Membership Level you configured them for.

In short, there are two ways to accomplish this. You can either create their account manually, and have WordPress/s2Member email them a Username/Password that you created for them. Or, you can generate a Registration Access Link with s2Member (as detailed above), and they can register themselves.

---

Your login page is always the following:

Code: Select all

http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php

This can be further customized with s2Member, in your s2Member -> General Options.

Once a member is logged in, will they automatically have access to all protected pages at their level, or will they need to login to each individual protected page?

Right, they only need to log in once, and that gives them access to whatever you've made available to them, based on your s2Member -> Restriction Options.

[RGIIEF]

Thanks for the prompt reply Jason. I'll give all this a try.

Thanks for your great answer! Now it´s working fine

[Cgoguen]

Hey Jason, Quick question! I put the above code into my functions.php which did allow me to get to the registration page. Unfortunately, once I fill out the form and hit the "register" button I get redirected to a blank page at mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register. Any thoughts on why this may be? I am up to date on my version of s2 btw. Would really appreciate any help you could throw my way.

Thanks in advance!

Chris

[Cgoguen]

I retract that last question. Turned out to be a plugin conflict. Thought I ruled it out but apparently I overlooked something. WORKS GREAT NOW!!!! Thanks a lot!

[Eduan]

Glad it works now!
What plugin was it exactly the one causing the conflict? Just thought it may help someone in the future.

[ajoslin103]

this method worked great, once

now I get this:

Your Link Expired:
Please contact Support if you need assistance.

what does this mean

[Eduan]

You're using specific post pages buttons right?

[ajoslin103]

the code is looking for GET not POST -- unless you are talking about putting the links on posts vs pages

these are links from a _page_ that [basically] says click here to login and click here to register (the problem is with the register link, of course)

I included the code into mu-plugins as described

Code: Select all

<pre>add_action ("init", "register_level");
function register_level ()
{
    if (isset ($_GET["register_level"]))
    {
        $link = c_ws_plugin__s2member_register_access::register_link_gen ("none", "-", $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"], $_GET["register_level"], false);
        wp_redirect ($link);
        exit ();
    }
}</pre> 

I've hardcoded the links as exampled: http://ndpproviders.com/11/?register_level=1

the resultant link is: http://ndpproviders.com/11/?s2member_register=fnIyOmIzM1luRWxzQUtqSUdNblBxaTFIV25MVEcxcjE3NE5IfBECvJwoChkCoy_TOxanKRRK-qen6SxdGS4F7x9VlrmDyMZPtnRetQGtC22VyZg9G-g5tAXQ--DYga_yYxuZmYzg2P_jX94-p7vE1G0AD97iOV0miFlIuRr4uCkASdD9m-Q5ZRIiRzd74hKopzgqRGyOKKwPPntxz49ARf4rDs2q

I've made sure there is no confusion between www and no www

[ajoslin103]

I think I have an answer -- based on the code it looks like using a "-" for the member id each time is saying "been here done that" -- so I substituted in a strval(time()) to get a never repeating value

I'll be back if this answer has other unforseen ramifications

Thanks for the follow-ups.

I think I have an answer -- based on the code it looks like using a "-" for the member id each time is saying "been here done that" -- so I substituted in a strval(time()) to get a never repeating value

Yes, that should do it. Make sure that IS a unique value.

This is a bit off-topic, but I wasn't sure where else to post this question.

I'm getting an error from the Google captcha service when I use

Code: Select all

captcha="clean"

on my free registration forms. I'm using the s2Clean Theme (and the "Dark Black" color scheme, if it makes a difference) and my captcha was working the last time I checked it (about a week or so ago). I'm using the following shortcode to display my free registration form:

Code: Select all

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form register="1" level="0" ccaps="" desc="Signup now, it's Free!" custom="www.yourwebsite.com" tp="0" tt="D" captcha="0" /]

Now, instead of showing the image as the captcha should, it displays the following error: "An internal error occurred: 4B219A41E3420.A144646.600A". For the time being, we have just disabled the captcha, but would like to include it on our registration form. Has anyone else recently encountered this error? Is this a Google issue or an s2Member issue (or an error on my part)?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regarding the captchya="clean" reply.
Please see this important thread. This will be fixed in the next release. But you can fix it now if like.

Hi Jason,

I couldn't find another place to post 2 questions, so I'll try here:

I have s2 member free version. My members pay through Paypal.

When they do, some are labeled s2Member Level 2, some are labeled Subscriber, even thought they all paid the same way.
Why? Is there a difference to them? The correct one is s2Member Level 2.

2nd problem: When they cancel, some remain on my wp s2member dashboard and my my AWeber list. How can I get them automatically deleted in both when they cancel?

Thank you,
Bess

Hi Bess.

Regarding the first, you probably have Open Registration enabled and then probably some users don't complete payment properly but still go to the registration page. Since registration is open, he'll be able to create an account, but since s2Member didn't get notified of a successful payment for him, is not giving him a higher level than the default Subscriber (level 0). WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration

If the person is paying and getting sent back from the checkout to register and then gets a Subscriber role, there may be something wrong with your setup. Please post the entries related to those that have this problem, x'ing out any private info. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details -> Enable Logging

Regarding the second, it may related to the above. If they were in the Subscriber role, they won't get an EOT behavior, because there isn't an EOT. Level 1 or above should get an EOT and the behavior you set. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Auto EOT Behavior

I hope it helps.
