Hi guys,

Got a pretty urgent question.

I want to revamp the registration for for Buddypress as it's not the most user friendly.

It tends to strip out all of the info previously entered into it if a user incorrectly fills a field. My form is long and this is frustrating for users.

Gravity forms do a fantastic user registration add on but I'm not sure if this will work with S2Member?

If it doesn't would I be able to use an S2 pro form for registration without actually using paypal payments pro?

I just want to make the form more user friendly and nicer on the eye.

Do the S2 pro forms have any kind of client side validation so that the form can be checked for errors before it is submitted or will it still strip all fields if just one is filled incorrectly?

Would love some help!

You can use the free registration pro-form. Yes, it has client-side validation of the fields and I'm pretty sure the form isn't resetted after a mistake. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Free Registration

You can integrate with BuddyPress with the settings at the bottom of this panel WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Custom Registration Fields/Options

Does that help?

Thanks Cristian.

Would the free 'pro' form still be the form users would be directed too after Paypal if they had singed up for a premium level 1 account or would it only be seen by level 0 subscribers?

If it would completely replace the standard buddypress form then that would be great!

Ah, no, sorry, I thought it was for free members (at the level you want, but free). For Level 1 you'd use a Level 1 pro-form. And you don't need to send the person to PayPal first, remember that with PayPal Pro you can have the payment and registration happen in the same pro-form.
