Mingle Integration

Mingle uses a page slug for presenting the registration page, thus overriding the default WP registration process.

The easiest way to get s2Member integrated with Mingle would seem to be to change the new member registration processing (after payment is approved via PayPal) to redirect to the Mingle registration page.

Is this a good idea, and where would I make the change in the s2Member code?

P.S. An enhancement that allowed us to add a page id for a custom registration page would be fantastic!

I don't know if it'd work, but I'd try .htaccess.

I kept thinking about this and I believe that registering the member through Mingle may not save information that s2Member would and is needed to set up the membership access correctly.

You could check s2Member's registration form and see what input fields it has and compare them to Mingle's form. Then add to the latter whichever you find missing and try creating an account with it and see how s2Member behaves with that new user.

I was playing around with it and I think the best solution would be...

Let s2Members handle the registration process. Then let members complete their full profile. Mingle does a good job of pulling the standard info from the user's account, so you may be right. After all, content can be added to the profile later, so just make the signup for Mingle the basic...

I will need to try that out and see if it works.

Thanks for the suggestion.
