eMember and MyCred Plugin – show a page once to new (logged-in) member

[jurgenvt]

Hi, I have created a WP+buddypres+emamber site which works great.

one challange though.

all members get “points”when they become a member.

for this i am using the Mycred plugin [http://mycred.me]

i need some kind of page that is shown to a new (logged-in) member only once.

in this page (or function) i can do:

echo do_shortcode( ‘[mycred_give amount=”10″ log=”new membership points” ref=”newmember_points”]’ );

which will give the member 10 points.

is there a designated spot in the code where i can do this, or is there a setting i can show only once to an new logged-in member?

looking forward to your reply

edit: moderation of new members is required in this website, so i cannot log them in after registration right away.

There really isn’t any support for “once only” display of content.

The closest thing I can think of is…

1. They register to a “Welcome” membership level, that awards them their credits.
2. You then use the eMember API to upgrade them to a “Working” membership level:

3. Upgrading them prevents them from getting access to the previous “Welcome” level.

The best way to do this is to use after registration hook so the points are awarded after the registration is complete. It doesn’t rely on a user visiting a page (that can always be tampered)

Here is a sample/example snippet of code to show you what I mean:

add_action('user_register', 'give_member_registration_points');

function give_member_registration_points($user_id)

{

$ref = "newmember_points";

$user_id = $user_id;

$amount = "10";

$log = "new membership points";



//Give points here

$mycred = mycred();

$mycred->add_creds(

$ref,

$user_id,

$amount,

$log

);

}

Hi admin,

this seems really promessing

where do i put this code

thank you so much!

[admin]

You can add that custom code to your functions.php file of the theme.

sorry to bother again,

i seem to miss something, because when i put this in my functions.php

my website turns to white.

error log:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /…localpathhere…/functions.php on line 1394

code in functions.php

<?php

add_action('user_register', 'give_member_registration_points');

function give_member_registration_points($user_id) {

$ref = 'newmember_points';

$user_id = $user_id;

$amount = '10';

$log = 'new membership points';



//Give points here

$mycred = mycred();

$mycred->add_creds(

$ref,

$user_id,

$amount,

$log

);

}

?>

i understand there must be something wrong with then $mycred variable , my skills ar not sufficient unfortunatly..

i know this beyond your support, but im trying anyway..

thank you

$log = ‘new membership points’

There’s supposed to be a semicolon at the end of that line. I have edited your post and corrected the code.

i should have known that! thank you

and this works like a charm!, thank you so much!

problem solved!
