Group Questions

I know s2 doesnt support groups, and I am more than happy to use the Gift Code feature. Here is my clients wishes, and I am wondering if/how I can make it work.

What we have now:
Purchase 1 membership = 100$ per year recurring.

They would like to add another user at 50$ per user.

So if you go to the form it would say:
1 provider = 100
2 providers = 150
3 providers = 200
ect…

I cant really wrap my head around this approach. Any help would be great!

what do you mean by groups?

  • is that discussion groups (forums)
  • is that multiple members

when you refer to providers - what does that mean?

  1. well they call them groups, they want 1 person to pay for everyone else. so , i have my CC and i pay for 4 more members (group of people).

providers = subscriber. Thats the name they use.

I think @krumch’s KC Groups Management plugin add-on is what you are looking for. See http://krumch.com/2013/07/09/kc-groups-management/

Does the KC plugin fit with an existing single subscriber workflow or will I have to remake the wheel?
Basically I just over the one level ($100 per year recurring) demoted goes to free subscriber. Will effect stripe payments? Do I remake shortcode? Any one out there using it?
Thank you!

Why don’t you PM @krumch or send him an email?

Can not understand your question… Please ask with another words.

Not a problem, can use any s2M payment gateway.

No, if you mean the payment shortcode. Actually, payments are as usual with s2M, per levels. You can set different number of allowed submembers to each level, not to a user. In your case you may need to set 100 levels with increasing number of submembers each. It will need additional code to make all your schema on a single level and with dynamical sum. Well, I am curious to create that, call me if you want such customisation.

I may ask several of existing users of my plugin if the are OK you to contact them, but can not promise will they agree…

Thank you. I will try to explain what my client is looking for.

The website is http://sandiegobirthnetwork.org/.
I am using s2 member to display users that have signed up using s2member. Its a directory.

They would like subscribers to go to the website and choose a group subscribe.
They would the payment to work like this:
1 user = 100$
2 users = 150$
3 users = 200$

  1. for payment shortcode i understand that I will base it on levels. Is it possible to create a new level and have groups be level 3 as opposed to 2 just to keep the seperate? or because i only offer 1 level currently would it be easier to just set the submembers to 5000, only to increment when i come close to that level?

  2. How does your plugin effect s2 member shortcode?
    here is my providers view page shortcode if the subscribers are in a group can i still use this?

https://www.sandiegobirthnetwork.org/members/

[s2Member-List link_display_name=“http://www.sandiegobirthnetwork.org/member/?ID=%%ID%%” limit=“10” levels=“1” enable_list_search=“yes” show_fields=“service_type,city,phone_number” template=“http://www.sandiegobirthnetwork.org/wp-content/themes/sdbn/member-list.php” /]

  1. does your plugin support the same custom fields as the current s2 form? will my registration form be the same for groups as it is for single subscriber.

thank you please let me know if you dont understand i can try to explain it better!

Thanks about explanation!

My plugin allows you to set rules like “Level1 users are allowed to have 1 submember; L2 - 2 submembers; L3 - 3 subs…” and so on, a single number of group’s submembers to a level (please read full description at plugin’s page, if you are not yet). Means, who pay for L1, will have a group of one member. Who pay for L10, will have a group of max 10 submembers. So for each number of submembers in a group you must use another level.

With the Pro version of the plugin is possible you to set rules like “who pay for L2 can have 2 submembers, and these submembers to have L1 access level”. Is that what you need?

Do not affects. This shortcode is handled by s2M itself, my plugin don’t change the info there. But s2M will recognize the level, set by my plugin to submembers, as well.

Well, again, both “yes” and “no”… Can say “supports”, since my plugin handles only access level of the exactly member. All the custom fields are handled by s2M, and it will recognize the level, set by my plugin, so will apply all rules for the exactly custom field for the exactly member, depending of his level. Yes, your registration form will have all the custom fields, that you set for exactly level. Note that at registration time nobody knows the level of the (future) member, so this answer is not 100% correct…

Please ask again, as the only way we can understand each other is by communication.
