Hi Chodhry, Yeah, I can open up an API/function call so you can place a link on a page that generates a time encrypted link and emails it to the logged in member. will this do?
Hi chodhry, sorry for the delayed reply… I get way to many emails, comments, forum posts every day so I try to prioritize when replying to make sure critical issues and responses that doesn’t take long to respond are replied first. I develop and support my plugins on my spare time so I need to be very efficient with time management.
Anyway, this is not perfect but you can specify the membership level to the “Reference field” of any product and a membership account will be created for that customer when he/she purchase that item.
The affilate software and the eMember uses different database tables this is to keep them decoupled. Remember most people are not going to use these 3 plugins together. Lot of people use these plugins in conjunction with other products (the combination is endless). Depending on the need I may need to add a column in the database table of the affilate users for integration with a 3rd party product which is completely irrelevant to the eMembers member database. I understand your point of view but these plugins are developed independently so they can be used independently. Having dependency between products that are designed to be used independently can be disastrous… not to mention that it totally goes against the fundamentals of object oriented programming.
You can put the links of all the downloadable products on the homepage of each membership level (you can have a home page for each membership level and redirect the members to this page upon login). This way you won’t need to worry about link expiry (if you don’t want the links to expire then no point in encrypting them cause it’s essentially the same). You can have a section called new downloads in the home page and list the new downloadables there.
Yes, you can offer a free download that uses the encrypted link mechanism. It’s done through the squeeze page type form option of the eStore plugin. The following URL should help:
@bostonbiker, this happens when the PHP session on your site isn’t working properly. The documentation site of the simple shopping cart has many entries on this (see the comments section).
Please contact your hosting provider so they can fix you PHP session issue and it will work fine.
@dankobler, The WP eStore plugin doesn’t integrate with PayPal pro gateway yet. I haven’t implemented this cause most customers feel more secure to pay on PayPal as it is a trusted site.
Update: Check the following post:
@stephanie, yes, you can change any image that comes with the plugin and use your custom image. simply find the image that you want to change then give the same name to the custom image and overwrite it. All the image files used in this plugin are stored in the “images” directory of the plugin.Hi Stephanie, Please specify the URL of the custom button image in the “Button Image URL” field of the product (look under the additional product details section):
Yay! LOL…
All the links to the instructions can be found on the documentation site:
The specific link to NextGen Gallery integration instruction is:
Hi Sandymcc, this shouldn’t happen… I will send you an email to get further details and resolve the issue.
@lizallan, This forum is for TipsAndTricks-HQ products (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/products). from your comment it doesn’t sound like you are talking about the WP eStore plugin (I couldn’t find your email address in my customer database either).
Please let me know if I have misunderstood you.
Hi William, glad to hear you got the plugin up and running fast.
1) Two solutions to this:
a) You can uncheck the “Use WordPress Mailing System” checkbox so the plugin will use a simple PHP mailer to email and it will have you name correctly.
b) You can change the name that appears on emails going out from WordPress in your WordPress settings.
2) The shopping cart should automatically get cleared out when customers return to your site after payment.. if this is not happening then we will have to investigate what is going wrong. Most likely a post payment clear step is failing so it’s not clearing the cart.
Do you see any error or warning on the “Thank You” page after you return from PayPal?
@cableman, thanks for the info… debug file empty means the plugin is not receiving the payment notification from PayPal (the plugin won’t email the product out unless it receives payment confirmation from PayPal).
So this is the issue we need to investigate and fix (you can spend 100s of hours trying to get the email going but it’s not gonna help unless we identify why PayPal isn’t sending payment notification).
Here are the next set of questions:
1) Do you have the “Email Notification & Digital Product Delivery” checkbox in the settings menu checked? If this option is not checked then the plugin won’t tell PayPal to send IPN (Instant Payment Notification) to the plugin.
2) If #1 is not the issue then I have a feeling your site is blocking IPN from PayPal. There can be two reasons for this:
a) Your server has a firewall that is blocking PayPal’s IPN
b) You have a plugin that is blocking PayPal’s IPN (Bad behavior plugin one such pluign known to do this)
Please post a link to the page where you are using this plugin and I will be able to confirm #2 for you.
I get it… I have added an option to specify weight for each product under the “Shipping” section of the product. This way when your customers checkout the total weight of all the products that has weight specified will be forwarded to PayPal for shipping calculation.
We will handle this issue on this thread
