Hi

I've just finished my site, www.limtool.com

I've got S2 member pro. it works well BUT.. I want to have a form that looks good, connects with paypal and then connects back to s2 member. I cannot get S2 member to create a drop down box the way it does on this page

http://aspiren.net/LIM/buy-it-now/

I'm using Wufoo forms to connect from my site to Paypal.

Is there anyway I can get Paypal to respond back to S2member following purchase?

I'm sorry but I'm a real noobie at all this so please be gentle!!

(PS..If this is not possible can someone explain really easily how I can replicate the drop down list of customer choices. I've tried watching the Custom capabilities videos but am v v confused)

I really hope someone can help

Cheers

Hi Graham.

Is there anyway I can get Paypal to respond back to S2member following purchase?

What do you mean by that?

Have you configured PayPal on both sides (s2Member and PayPal)?

mmm....firstly, thanks for such a speedy response.

I did have it all working fine when I used the button created by S2. so i guess that means all was configured fine.

But I could not get my desired dropdown box and i wanted it to look as it does now.

So im using a wufoo form which is fully integrated the way I want it with PayPal. (I'm using wufoo as we have a number of forms on the site and I want them all to look as good as each other. Every form plug in I have tried doesn't look as good. (Again, probably my limitations....so open to suggestions!)

So... is there a way I can change where PayPal points to, in order for S2 member to work. (By the way, S2 member works extremely well. I love it. I realise I'm probably going about this a very strange and odd way!!)

Does any of that help?

Cheers

That's fine, you can use other forms, as long as they have what they need.

For example, some people use PayPal generated buttons with s2Member. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=309

Your form should be fine if it works to make PayPal process the purchase, now let's make it work with s2Member, which is what you seem to be having trouble with. Maybe the thread I mentioned above will help you too.

Make sure you have your PayPal settings well configured. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> PayPal Account Details, PayPal IPN Integration and PayPal PDT/Auto-Return Integration

To your form add the input custom, it'll be needed for some things by s2Member. If you rather not use PHP in your form, replace that part with the actual value of that variable.

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?>" />

Let me know if that helps.

thanks for so far

Sorry to be stupid but.... in the code for the form (I currently use a short code but I know howe to just copy in all the code) that you have shown me, do I need to change anything or copy it just as it is.

Dealing with ignoramuses like must be a pain!!!!

Oh, don't worry.

You mean a Wufoo shortcode, right? You'll need the full code to add that line I gave you.

Do read the thread I mentioned above, it'll help you making this non-s2Member form work. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=309#p1333

I hope that helps.

Thanks

What a star!

I'll try that over the weekend and let you know.

Cheers

Cool.
