Register From A Different URL

[behladesign]

I'm wondering if it's possible to have a user be on one url: http://gapzip.com and then have them register for the members site which is on a subdomain: http://members.gapzip.com

I realized that I'd have to have S2 installed on both sites. I'm wondering if this is difficult or requires alot of custom code. I imagine that they need to start on the member.gapzip.com site for registration purposes.

If you won't restrict access to content at gapzip.com, then it's fine, because everything s2Member does would be needed in a single place: members.gapzip.com. The problem would be if you want them to register in one and have the accessed controlled in the other one.

We only have s2 member installed in members.gapzip.com and that is the member site with restrictions. Should i install s2 to gapzip.com and then my signup buttons, use the code that I have for members.gapzip.com for the signup? This is where i have the member signup now.

http://members.gapzip.com/subscribe/

Ah, got it. No, s2Member in members.gapzip.com is enough.

It's fine to sell members access to someone from gapzip.com if you use the button you created with s2Member in the members subdomain. Use the shortcode in members and then the HTML it outputs in the page, copy it to use in the main site.

Or you can create one over at PayPal following these instructions viewtopic.php?f=36&t=309#p1333

I hope this helps.

Thanks..i imagine I need to have S2 working on both sites, to get that to work?

If you want users to register an account at gapzip.com and have it work over at members.gapzip.com, then you need to make those two WordPress installations share the users and usermeta tables in the database. I'm afraid I don't know how to help you with that, you should google it.

Hi Cristian,

I'm trying to do the same thing that behladesign described here, only I'm using Clickbank instead of PayPal.

The problem is, when I copy the HTML from the button created by the S2 shortcode, I get an error message when ClickBank redirects me to the thank you page:

ERROR: Unable to modify Subscription.
Please contact Support for assistance.

S2Member is installed in a subfolder of my main site at /members. I have the sales page for the site located in the root, without S2Member installed.

When I loaded the shortcode button, I first made sure I was logged out of WordPress. I copied the HTML exactly to the sales page.

I've tried using the shortcode directly from within the /members installation and it works fine, as expected.

Any ideas about how to make the registration work from my root page?

If it helps, here is the HTML I copied from the shortcode generated button:

Hi Corbett,

The modification button code generated by s2Member includes variables specific to the currently logged in user (that's how s2Member knows what account to modify after the user completes the checkout). You cannot use modification buttons (or the resulting code they generate) for members who are not currently logged in:

*Important Note* Modification Buttons should be displayed to existing Users/Members, and they should be logged-in, BEFORE clicking this Button. Otherwise, post-processing of their transaction will fail to recognize the Customer's existing account within WordPress®. Please display this Button only to Users/Members that are already logged into their account ( perhaps in your Login Welcome Page for s2Member ), or in another location where you can be absolutely sure that a User/Member is logged in. s2Member's Simple Conditionals could also be used to ensure a User/Member is logged in, by wrapping your Shortcode within a Conditional test. For further details, please see: s2Member -> API Scripting -> Simple Conditionals.

Is that what you're trying to do, or did I miss something?

Hey Raam, good to see you here! I didn't realize you worked for Primo Themes.

Anyway, I got everything sorted out. Here's my full account on another thread:

Yup, I've been with Primo Themes for a few months now.
