Free Registration @ Different Levels

[knowlesy27]

Hi there,

I have setup 3 different level, free, standard and premium. the standard and premium levels login to there default page that is setup which is called account details, but when i login as the free user it reverts to the dashboard(http://website.com/wp-admin). can you tell me what i need to do to get it to go to the account details when logged in.

Also is it possible to configure the premium login widget to display different option for user level?

Thank you, Cristian, but I have never allowed open registration.

At the path you noted: WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details -> Enable Logging, I had checked: Yes, enable debugging, with API, IPN & Return Page logging.

The entries that currently pay AND are labeled "Subscriber" are Nicole Gelinas (no paid subscriber ID) (administrative notes say: "Demoted by s2Member: Thu Jan 6, 2011 7:00 pm UTC") : I didn't do that, and she still pays through Paypal, uninterrupted and no refunds.

And Rich McCoy (paid subscriber ID: I-05PTT45F6HYV)

There were many others who have quit the Club. Half were labeled "Subscriber", and half were labeled "s2Member Level 2" . A few were labeled :None". They all went through the same payment process. Is this why they cancelled?

Frank Rader, Cathy Fry, and Denise Sadberry, and others have cancelled their Paypal payment to the Club, yet are still listed on my wp dashboard as "s2Member Level 2". How can I fix this?

An immediate problem I have is Basel Slatter just wrote me: "Please cancel my coaching membership and pleas refund any moneys paid. I am unable to open this web page on my iPad." : The new registration link I generated and sent him (his old one expired) is:
http://www.mlmmillionaireclub.com/membe ... n=register
Why can't he open this link on his iPad?

I'm losing members.

Thank you, Cristian, but I have never had Open Registration. People all pay the same way, yet some are labeled

You say <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> but I can't figure out how to do that.

One example is Nicole Gelinas, who continues to be billed regularly through Paypal, but is labeled, "Subscriber". It says she was "Demoted by s2Member: Thu Jan 6, 2011 7:00 pm UTC" Why is that?

Jennifer Eskina Fields is labeled "None". Why is that?

This may be why I'm losing members?

I have many members labeled "s2Member Level 2" who have stopped paying but are still on my wordpress s2member user log. Why is that?

*** My most immediate problem is a member who cannot access http://www.mlmmillionaireclub.com/membe ... n=register on his iPad. (This a registration link I generated when his expired.) Why is that? He wants a refund if he can't access the site. Is this a iPad/wordpress problem or an iPad/s2Member problem? Also, where do I go to change the expiration date for registering, and how do I do it?

Thank you.

I'm sorry to post repeated questions, but they do not show up on the forum. Thank you, Bess McCarty (512) 569-1139

Hmm... This video may help you with that: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2837

You could configure different login welcome pages based on level. For this, use the replacement codes avaialble for the special redirection URL for your Login Welcome page. WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Login Welcome Page -> URL

Like http://mysite.com/welcome-%%current_user_level%%
Then create the pages for each level and protect them at their level. E.g.

http://mysite.com/welcome-0 protected at Level 0
http://mysite.com/welcome-1 protected at Level 1

I hope that helps.

Yeah, the existing items can be configured and you have a box to add any code you want. You can see a screenshot of the widget settings here: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2781&hilit=widget+screenshot

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Please update to the latest release of s2Member. I think your problem may be related to a bug that got fixed in the v111206 release.

If you have registration closed (WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration) so that only paying members can register, then the user must either register from the same browser after he paid because after return from checkout, s2Member will create a cookie in the browser to know it has to let him register. Other wise, when going to the registration page he'll be told that registrations are closed. This may be happening trying to do it from his iPad if he paid from his desktop, for example.

The other way to register is using the link that s2Member sends by email after the payment, this would work from any browser. The URL you said you sent him is not going to work if Open Registration is disabled. You need to generate a special link that will let the person register: WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Buttons -> Registration Access Link

I hope this helps.

Hi there, thanks but how do you hide certain items under different levels do i need to use the code %%current_user_level%% in the code somewhere in the login in widget?

[Cristián Lávaque]

Hide items that you'd add to the code box of the widget? You can do that with conditionals. WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals or Advanced/PHP Conditionals (for this one you'll need to have a PHP execution plugin installed.)

Jason,

Thanks for your awesome plugin. Once I get my site running, and CAN upgrade, I most definitely will.

If I need Level 0 to be free, subscriber, with 0 sites...
Level 1, free, with 1 site...
Level 2, paid, with 1 site...

So using what you have below, if I wanted to use graphic buttons to link to the appropriate registration pages for each...

for Level 0 I'd link to domain.com/register (I'm using BuddyPress)
for Level 1 I'd link to http://domain.com/?register_level=1 (after inserting that code below into my functions, which will allow Level 1 to be free)
for Level 2 I'd link to the generated PayPal shortcode or link created through the PayPal Buttons panel

Is that right?

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

Thanks for the follow-up.

for Level 0 I'd link to domain.com/register (I'm using BuddyPress)
for Level 1 I'd link to http://domain.com/?register_level=1 (after inserting that code below into my functions, which will allow Level 1 to be free)
for Level 2 I'd link to the generated PayPal shortcode or link created through the PayPal Buttons panel

Is that right?

Yes, you've got it!
Please be aware however, these code samples are provided for clarity. I would recommend that you harden security against the register_level variable in some custom way, so that a visitor could not simply change the level number and perhaps register for access at a Membership Level you did not intend for them to have. For instance, you might require this value to be encrypted, and your PHP function would decrypt it, testing it for validity.

I'm getting the same PayPal bookmarking error as mentioned in one of the previous posts in this thread-

You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.

I have tried clearing my cache entirely, but that hasn't resolved it.

You can see the page here: http://yourcrimesite.com/join/

I would paste in my PayPal button links but I think they might have some code in them that shouldn't be public?

[Jason Caldwell]

Thanks for the follow-up. Are you using the recommended PayPal Button Shortcodes provided by s2Member, or have you built custom links to PayPal checkout? I ask because it looks like that page on your site contains links to PayPal which are corrupted.

[AMEEKER]

I used the instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16962&p=61347&hilit=paypal+link#p61347 to generate links for the buttons (replacing the shortcodes "button" output with "url" then grabbing that outputted url for the pricing table's link field.

Did I miss something along the way?

[Jason Caldwell]

Yes, your PayPal link is corrupted. I'm seeing this in the source code of your site, for this link to PayPal. It's possible that your theme is modifying content filters in WordPress which is causing this as a side effect, but it's difficult to know for sure.

You might try the raw HTML plugin to see if it helps.

Strange link corruption here.

Thanks, Jason - that worked.
