Specific Page Access Combined with Membership Access

[kevinthomas]

I hope that s2members has this capability. I don't want to use membership levels. I want to sell a variety of e-books and video courses that don't need to be purchased sequentially, and are accessible through the membership area. So I would want the membership area to include all courses purchased by the member, and a list of those that have not been purchased yet. This way they can pick and choose products without having to buy them in sequence.

I understand the Specific Page/Post Access Restrictions instructions. But my question is, How do integrate all purchased products into the member area, so each member can login any time they want and have access to their purchased products? Thanks. KT

s2Member does not store information about individual purchases, because it assumes these individual purchases will NOT be tied to any particular membership account. That is one of the nice things about Specific Post/Page Access, is that it does NOT have to be tied to an account login.

I do understand what you're saying though. So I'll see about adding this feature in a future release. Until then, here is one way to work-around it, getting you almost there.

1. Allow Open Registration to your site.
See: s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration.

2. Provide potential Customers with a way to create an account.
You send them to: http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register
If you're using the s2Member Pro Module, you can create a custom Free Registration Form.

3. Setup your Login Welcome Page for s2Member, including a list of links that point to each of the Specific Posts/Pages that you're selling access to. Whenever a Member clicks a link to a Specific Post/Page, they will be denied access, UNLESS they've already been authenticated through the Specific Post/Page checkout process, for individual purchases.

This can be done using either the free version of s2Member, or with the Pro Module. Either will work fine.
