Enrollment Authorization

[loewenberg]

hi. i'm building a site for my client where website visitors will complete and submit a membership application online for secure, free access to protected data. we want to review and approve the enrollment application before sending an email with username and password to the client. S2 allows the user to pick a password or have wordpress automatically generate a password and email it to the client. we do NOT want to approve every applicant....

Is there a way to tell S2 to capture the information in the database and wait for authorization from an admin before sending the approving email?

btw, upon approval, the information gathered on the membership form will be sent via email to multiple recipients so they can record the new member's data in their systems.

We are using wordpress 3.2.1 and s2 member Version 111105. The site is in development and not available on the web yet.

Thanks.

Hope this helps.
Also remember to report back,
otherwise you leave me worrying.

Hi Eduan. Thanks for the quick suggestion. The role change strategy looks interesting in that it restricts access to the protected content. My problem though is that my client wants to review and approve all enrollment submissions, mostly because he does not want his competition to enroll and get an email back.

is there a hook in the code to let me hijack the enrollment process so that the confirming email is held up until approved?

Hi Mike.

Maybe this plugin does what you need http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-approve/ but I don't know if it's compatible with s2Member. Let me know if you try it.

I hope that helps.
