Add optionst to shortcodes

Postby srhsboosters » July 26th, 2010, 3:45 pm

How would I add a dropdown menu of options to the membership shortcode?

Say I have Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3

Sorry for the delayed response. It looks like I missed this ticket before.
~ My sincere apologies for that.

OK. So this is an excellent question. There is currently nothing built into the s2Member plugin that would build this automatically. However, if you choose to use the Full Button Code, an experienced webmaster can integrate those into a drop-down menu selection, and give your Customers a set of options in a more dynamic fashion.

That being said, a simpler way to accomplish this, is just to list a detailed set of features that you have available with each "option" ( i.e. Level and/or Custom Capability ), and provide each of these options on your "Membership Options Page", along with the associated PayPal Button that matches each set of features ( i.e. for different Levels ).

These video tutorials may also be of some assistance:

This was exactly the same question I had. To go a step further with that question:

I have been spending (literally) countless hours wracking my brain around permissions and such trying to get PayPal's subscription service working on my site regular. I finally gave up after months of headaches and choppy documentation. Then I discovered s2member! OMG a lifesaver. Installing WordPress to make it happen was worth it.

In all that time, I had created several buttons within PayPal using their generator. Theirs features a nifty single dropdown option so you can select a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4, and hit submit. Using s2member, it appears you have to supply a multitude of buttons, or have them progress through various levels of payment to get a higher level from the start.

(Sorry for rambling)
So my question: Is there a way to "sanely" modify the PayPal pre-generated button and blend in the table dropdown into the extended HTML code of s2member's?


And for the record, on a side note...

T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U !!!!! You have NO idea how much s2member has helped! I wish I had time to tell you, but instead, you'll have to be happy with me screaming thank yous at you guys! :lol:
