Anyone here familiar with creating wordpress plugins?
Hi everyone I am trying to create a drip feed feature into an existing plugin called s2member. It is a buddypress plugin.
I am going to start learning php but I need to get this done now. I would appreciate any response, even if it is just a hint in the right direction.
The plugin is awesome, but it doesnt have the drip feed feature I need. One person asked on the owners blog the same question, and this is part of the response he gave:
It does have different levels of membership, but those only seem to be activated if you purchase an actual upgrade. I need it to add extra content (or even links to that hidden content) over 4 weeks or so without having to bother the member. I thought about maybe having it so each week they were automatically upgraded to the next membership level, which of course would hold the new content. But I would have no idea how to do this!
To me, what he described seems very complicated and extremely out of my league.
If this requires professional help I dont mind, if you could point me in the right direction of someone reputable and expereinced in this kind of stuff I would really appreciate it. I dont want to skimp on anything that could pose a security problem for my members.
Thanks!
Ashley
P.S. here is the link to the original comments made by the asker and owner:
s2Member ( Membership Plugin ) PriMoThemes.com He shows a little snippet of code under the post that he says would help you hide content. But I dont really get it.
I just though I would post as much info as possible so you know what I am getting at

There are no methods built into s2Member that deal with Content Dripping directly. That being said, there are numerous ways that s2Member can be used to accomplish this. Use the s2Member API Constants ( for PHP & JavaScript both ). The documentation for the s2Member API is built into the s2Member Options Panel. The s2Member API makes advanced configurations possible. You can add conditional statements into your Posts or Pages in order to separate public content from Members Only content. You can have different content for Members vs. non-Members, or even based on specific Membership Levels. Please read over the s2Member API Documentation. For these advanced configurations, you'll need to know a little PHP code, or at least be able to follow the examples in the documentation. |
