PayPal Pro Form Customizations

[lewayotte]

I don't really like the way the PayPal Pro forms look, not elegant enough (no offense). Is there any documentation for changing the forms? I'd like it to slim it down a bit and rearrange some fields. It'd also be nice if I could just have one form with 3 membership options to choose from. Like allow a user to select "10$/mo | 25$/qrt | 90$/yr"... not a big deal, but it'd be cool.

You can edit it using CSS so it's more compact, or you can customize the form's template.

Is it possible to modify the PayPal® and/or Authorize.Net® Pro Form templates?

Usually not necessary. But yes, if you really need to. Please check your /s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/ directory. You can take the default templates, and place some ( or all of them ) into your own WordPress® theme directory. s2Member Pro will automatically find your custom templates there. By placing custom templates into your theme directory, you can be sure they won't get overwritten in a future upgrade. Either that, or you can just use the default templates like they are, and customize them with your own CSS rules inside the Stylesheet for your WordPress® theme ( i.e. style.css ). If you're using a PriMo Theme ( for instance, the s2Clean Theme ), check your Theme Options Panel, under: Custom CSS / Style Sheet.

And WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Shortcode Attributes (Explained) -> template

template="" 100% optional. This can be a custom template file that exists inside your WordPress® theme directory. For example: template="checkout.php".

To change the pro-form, you could probably have another small form to select the product and reload the page to get the pro-form for it. You could use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] for that small form's action, and based on the option you'd show one pro-form or the other.

Does that help?

Interesting, I didn't notice the template argument, but I'm not exactly sure what it does from the description. Is there more documentation?

Thanks.

No, that's the documentation for it so far. You can put the custom template file in your theme's dir or the wp-content dir. The custom template can be a PHP file, not just HTML. Keep the IDs and such as they are so the JS works for the pro-form.

Let me know if you run into trouble.

Thanks... I'll give it a whirl

Cool.
