I’m trying to set up scenario 3.1 (“must be logged in to buy”) which works on other parts of my site but currently not with a 3rd party plugin – Learndash LMS – which has its own paypal gateway that is coded in the footer that protects the course/lesson materials.
What are the correct settings / considerations for eMember and/or eStore to grab or intercept the Learndash purchase so that a member has to register?
Since their paypal button is coded into their footer, the eMember “selected protection” codes unfortunately don’t work.
They did say I could modify the paypay button .gif code but not sure what, where and how I would change it.
Can eMember be inserted into or immediately after the Leardash purchase to require a free and eventually a subscription based membership?
When you say “their footer”, do you mean a page that is on your site (part of your WordPress installation). Or is this a page outside of your WordPress install.
Good question Admin. I am mostly sure that it is part of the LearnDash plugin installation versus the footer area on my theme that I can modify. I hope that answers your question!
When one visits the course post (“course” post is a part of their install, not something that I set up) up for a course, the user sees a PAYPAL button that is not visible to whomever is editing the course post.
I discovered that I can redirect the buyer to a signup page AFTER they process with PAYPAL but I would rather the transaction work like the other eMember settings (that require a sign in BEFORE a purchase/paypal page appears).
Also, the LearnDash developer gave me instructions to change the actual PayPal button via uploading a new file. Assuming I can figure out their instructions, is there an eMember link of some sort that I can add that will achieve harmony with eMember and eStore? Thanks again Admin.
In that case I can’t see any good way to do what you are after. When it is an external site, eMember doesn’t have any control in terms of protection. A WordPress plugin can only protection content that is inside your WordPress install.
Clarification is good! Thank you Admin.
Here is what the developer said about their paypal button:
“The code is at line 316 in “enhanced-paypal-shortcodes.php”. You will see a link for the button ($buttonUrl = “https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif”). All you have to do is upload a new image to your WP install, get the direct link and replace the PayPal gif link with it.
You can specify a page that a user goes to after purchase in the Options for Courses page.”
My question to eMember … WHAT eMember “direct link” would I need to use to route their button to eMember?
Thank you. That seems to only tell you how you can replace the default image of their PayPal button. I don’t think you can use to that send the user to a different URL. So I don’t see how you can do what you are after using that instruction.
How are you sending the user to their site/page? Are you using a link somewhere on your site to send the user to their site?
Thanks, it is helpful to learn limitations so I don’t hit my head so hard or so often against the wall.
Since it (LearnDash LMS) is a Plugin, users don’t go to anyone else’s website – except PayPal when they checkout. So no, there is no link that sends a user elsewhere that I am aware of. Does that help?
I still can’t wrap my head around the setup you have with this other plugin. It’s not one of our advertised features so we will have to handle this via a custom job. Please fill out this form so you can get in touch with me and I can take a look at your setup to understand what we are up against:
