Hi,

Thanks for having this in the forum. I was getting paypal emails, but no sales recorded and no ipn debug log. Check one item off the first admin response on this thread and – things are better, but not right. On to the next problem – no membership emails.

Cheers,

Tim

Ok, using plugin exec-php and the PHP code provided, this works great!

<div style="float: right; margin-right: 30px;">

<?php

global $auth;

$user_id = $auth->getUserInfo('member_id');

if (!empty($user_id))

{

//User is logged in so add your conditional code here

$membership_level = $auth->getUserInfo('membership_level');



if($membership_level >= 3)

{

//Add stuff for this level

echo('Step 1');

}

if($membership_level >= 4)

{

//Add stuff for this level

echo('Step 2');

}

if($membership_level >= 5)

{

//Add stuff for this level

echo('Step 3');

}

if($membership_level >= 7)

{

//Add stuff for this level

echo('Step 4');

}

if($membership_level >= 

{

//Add stuff for this level

echo('Step 5');

}

if($membership_level >= 9)

{

//Add stuff for this level

echo('Step 6');

}

}

?>

</div>

Ah, and now I need to ask for more help!

When I use the [emember_protected for=3-4-5] [/emember_protected] code blocks things are great when the use is authorized to access the content.

But when the member is not authorized, what I’d like is for basically nothing to happen. What does happen is that a message is printed explaining that there is content on the page that the person cannot access.

What I want this to look like for my Level 3 member:

Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 <== These would be links – allowed pages.

Step 4 | Step 5 | Step 6 <== No links – member is not allowed to view.

What does display now:

Step 1 | Hidden content is forbidden for this membership level.

Please Renew your account.Step 2 | Step 3

Step 4 | Step 5 | Step 6

Is there another way to use this function so it does its checks, but does NOT print any error messages?

What I want to have is my 6 page links on every page. The pages a member can access will be enabled with a link; pages they cannot access will simply be text – no link.

Thanks,

Tim

Amin,

Thank you. I believe I can figure this one out from here.

I appreciate the nice, complete answer. And that was quick, too.

Very nice!

Regards,

Hi,

I am not able to tell what wpCommerce was trying to say. In my experience, the only effect I saw from “all pages” was one of PREVENTING access to all pages when I unchecked it. Checking it simply allowed the “manage content protection” setting to function. I believe wpCommerce agreed with me on that point above – “all pages” can be reduced using the content protection settings. So “all pages” does not mean all pages.

Ivy, what I’m asking for is specifics – the general “content protection” video lacks details, and is not going to help. But I will mention that you can see “all pages” and “all comments” are all checked in that video. But the video does nothing to help explain what those checkboxes truly do – and what a more appropriate name might be for those checkboxes. They are improperly named at this time.

At this current time, I seem to be ok. But there must be a reason those checkboxes exist. Without a bit of accurate documentation, though, we will never be able to benefit from them. They are simple “mystery buttons” at this time.

Can you get Amin to explain these? Or is there some documentation on them somewhere?

Thanks,

Tim

Please help with this confusion.

I did have “general protection” and pages enabled for view by my member levels.

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6 was set to view only Lesson 1.

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6b was set to view Lessons 1 and 2.

…

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6f was set to view all 6 lessons.

But – I could not view ANYTHING. Logging in as a user set to ANY of these member levels and trying to view any lesson page gave the error: Content is Protected.

---

Then I changed one setting, and things seem to work.

I check to enable “access all pages” for each of my 6 member levels. Now things seem to work.

Help!! What does the “access all pages” mean? (It seems *wrong* to me!! I do NOT want these members to access all pages; I want to them to only access the pages I have configured for member level access.)

How do we use the “Access To”…. “All Pages” “All Categories” “All Posts” “All Comments” settings? What does checking “All Pages” mean in this system? When do we want to enable each of these?

Thanks! Very confused now, awaiting clarification please!

Info Update –

I truly had no idea how this would work. So I thought I’d provide some of the missing info for those that come after me.

I have an auto-upgrade working for the 6 lessons of a free ecourse. My levels are:

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6b

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6c

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6d

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6e

The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6f

Each level is set to upgrade to the next level after 1 day.

When I look at my list of members, my test user added 3 days ago still says they have membership to “The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6”. But:

a. Log in as this user, and click on “members” – and it reports that their member level is actually “The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6d.”

b. Click to EDIT this member, and the details of their member info also reflects that their member level is now “The S.I.M.P.L.E. 6d.”

So my autoupgrade is working. And I have 2 ways to verify it is working for any particular member of my site.

Cheers,

Tim

@Mr_Luke – I edited eStore_process_payment_data.php, function award_affiliate_commission to catch the product and price and did an override on the commission there.

I also edited the commission calcs in paypal.php – the IPN script.

[IMGIGClub]

And now I’ve modified this to work as I wanted. So far the code seems rather clean and straight-forward. Nice!

[IMGIGClub]

Ouch. Thanks for confirming what I’d feared….

I’ve now got my second point for a “feature wish list” entry.

[IMGIGClub]

What was missing was you verifying that it works for PAID members. The basic info on how the upgrades happen was clear in the documentation. So you had misunderstood the point of the question.

Got the answer; now I need to go play and verify how that all works together. Just wanted verification that auto-upgrade plays nicely with paid membership.

[IMGIGClub]

Ok, I’m a little confused.

If “auto upgrade” has nothing to do with IPN, does that means we cannot have a paid auto-upgrade (drip) membership? Are auto-upgrade memberships supported for paid members?

[IMGIGClub]

Yes, Ivy, I discovered that “auto upgrade” is on the members tab. And that was before I realized you’d replied here.

Another question: What if the first membership is set up with a PayPal subscription? When the person is auto upgraded, is the PayPal subscription information carried on?

What I’m worried about is….Joe signs up for Drip-Membership-HooRah. 30 days later a PayPal IPN arrives for membership Drip-Membership-HooRah, but Joe is now on Drip-Membership-HooRah-12 – and the IPN script can’t figure out what to do?

Or conversely, prior to that second payment the paypal subscription is cancelled. Does eMember know how to identify this multiply-upgraded membership to cancel it out?

I can imagine probably 10 related questions as well – related to member level configuration details (expires / never expires). Is there any chance you’ve done another excellent video to explain “configuring a Drip Membership tied to a PayPal Subscription” ?

[IMGIGClub]

I was going to ask for the update that inclues the “auto upgrade” feature. But, it’s already there….

Just that the “auto upgrade” is in the “members” area, not the “levels” as I had expected.

Looking forward to getting this fully set up.

Thanks much!

Tim & Mike
