Is there a timeframe on the WYSIJA integration? This sounds like a great feature to integrate.

Hello – I know this is an old topic, but I think it fits best here.

After reading about free memberships confirmations here:

Free Members Must Confirm Their Email Address

I was wondering if wouldn’t be possible to still allow the full registration form, and still use the same process you have in place.

Or another option to allow the full registration form, and upon activating the link in email, the user is taken to the member login page.

Or at the very least, allow a minimal amount of customization on the initial screen… personally, I like just email. Some like email/pass … others fname/email others fullname/email … others name/email/pass — you get the idea.

But now that I understand how you are using the free membership registration, I can proceed happily… just thought I’d pass along my 2 cents on the topic

And thanks for such a wonderful product!

To any one that’s interested:

I’ve been able to integrate eMember with SimplePressForums

Thanks to Amins upgrade of allowing new members to be added to any wordpress role.

I use a capability manger to create a role for free, silver, premium, etc

and then in SimplePress forum, I set the role of the forum/group

and in eMember, I set the users role based on what membership they are joining.

That’s brief, but I think you get the gist.

Guys –

As always, you have the professional answers for everything!

I definitely jumped the gun on this, and know better than to do it.

I never saw the sandbox/debug integration and that helped solve my problem. Somewhere in the instructions I missed that I needed to update my IPN settings…

Aweber I had just the list name (without @aweber.com), but wouldn’t work w/o IPN anyhow.

QUESTIONS:

1. For user integration, is there a way to have a user/pass created and sent? Rather than them having to create there own by coming back to the system? did I miss this feature somewhere?

2. IPN – Is there a way to setup IPN with PayPal for multiple domains?

3. You sent me an upgrade at one time to assign one of the default roles to new subscribers, is it possible to have this expanded to any role that is created (like via the Roles & Capability plugin) ? Right now it only allows for the 5 default roles that WP creates. Was this upgrade an official one that others can count on?

Thanks for all the great answers, and prompt responses.

Wow, that’s awesome…

The only thing that would need to be updated is to query for new roles, and not just the defaults that WP uses… ( so that custom roles with Role Manager can be used)

Thanks for updating this (and so quickly)

You guys rock….

One more quick thing… (tr. A few more last minute thoughts)

I just noticed that your store doesn’t set a user at all, but your membership plugin does (and hard-codes with builtin WP roles)….

Would it be easier/better for me to create a user/role on successful return from PayPal?

Is there a way to create roles from your membership levels, or use existing roles as membership levels with your plugin?

Thanks for taking the time to look at this….

Regardless of what solutions I’ve come up with, just remember that my problem is getting seamless integration of your plugin with a support forum.

Amin,

I checked into this further, and came up with some pseudo-code that should make this fairly simple for you to integrate…If this isn’t what you were looking for for code, let me know.

The code is obviously vague & generic, but you should see how it fits into your store plugin…

1. Display Dropdown

global $wp_roles;

$roles = array_keys($wp_roles->role_names)



if($roles)

{

foreach($roles as $index=>$role)

{

echo "<option>$role</option>";

}

}

2. On Save – Set per product option

$storeoption['prodnum']['role'] = $_POST['role_option'];

3. On User Create

$user = new WP_User($id);

$user->add_role($storeoption['prodnum']['role']);

Things to consider:

if a user exists (for another product perhaps?), then the highest role should be used.

If a product role changes (not a good idea, I know), then there should be an option to either change all users, or to set the new role from this point forward. (Or just pick one, and we can all live with it )

I hope that’s a bit more informative of what I’m looking for, and how you could implement it in your plugin.

If you intend to implement this, please let me know. Otherwise I’ll make plans to make due with a single membership forum.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I don’t have any code to share…

I do use the “WordPress Integration” option to create a new WP user with a default role of “subscriber”, but I’d like to have each product be allowed to be assigned a different role (product A is “subscriber”, and product B is “contributor” – or something like that).

Simple Press Forum already understands (and in fact expects) WP roles to be used, which makes integration on that end a breeze….

I think it’s just a matter of allowing each product to specify which role to use when it creates the WP user….

or I could be wrong

I think that others would benefit from this (again, I could be wrong), so I was envisioning a drop down in the product creation that would search the current roles in place (so that Role Manager plugin could be used), and allow the new users to be assigned that role when created….

I don’t know if this is a eStore or eMember modification though…

If you don’t have time to look into this, a few hints on where to look would be helpful as well.

Thanks

Matt
