Sorry for so much back and forth (though I can't be the only user trying to accomplish this).</p> <p>In essence, it is impossible to have a 7-day access and a 30-day access product live under one eStore roof...</p> <p>Since the link expiration must be set to the greater amount required (in this scenario, 30 days), and since the APR cookie will be re-issued each time it is clicked from the initial download link, then there is no way to stop a user (who purchased 7-day access) from going to their email on day 10, clicking the encrypted link, and watching the content on that page (thanks to the freshly-issued cookie).</p> <p>Or am I mistaken? </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/a-somewhat-different-use-for-emember-newbie-question/page/2#post-29023 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:30:57 +0000 Peter 29023@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi Paul,<br /> See my answers and questions inline:</p> <p>====<br /> When I click on a forbidden page (as an unregistered user), I get to see "Please Login to view this Content (Not a member? Join Today)</p> <p>But when I click on a forbidden POST - I only see "Content is restricted"</p> <p>Is it possible for that message to be the same as in case of blocked pages?<br /> ====</p> <p>Seems like you are protecting the post using a shortcode but you're protecting the page using the "eMember Protection Options" flags in the page editor of wordpress.<br /> Is that right?<br /> I suspect this is why you are seeing the different messages.</p> <p>If you're using the shortcode you can suppress the restricted message such as "This content is for members only" by specifying in the shortcode as follows:</p> <p>[emember_protected do_not_show_restricted_msg=1]</p> <p>your protected content goes here</p> <p>[/emember_protected] </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/affiliate-wigget-links#post-29022 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:07:09 +0000 Peter 29022@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi Jason,<br /> Regarding the sidebar widget Affiliate links - you'll need to perform a small hack in the code to get the links to show your configured affiliate url.</p> <p>I'm personally reluctant to encourage source code hacks as this causes complications if you need to download an updated version of the plugin in the future because you'll lose the changes or will need to re-hack them.</p> <p>However if you're desperate and really need this then here is a hack I've just come up with:</p> <p>1) make a copy of the wp_affiliate_login_widget.php file and keep this original version in a separate and safe directory on your computer in case you stuff things up.</p> <p>2) After you've made a copy of the original file, now edit the wp_affiliate_login_widget.php file and look for the code where the following function is defined.</p> <p>This is the ORIGINAL code:</p> <p><code><br /> function aff_login_widget()<br /> {<br /> if(aff_main_check_security())<br /> {<br /> $output = show_aff_widget_logged_in_details();<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> $output = show_aff_widget_login_form();<br /> }<br /> return $output;<br /> }<br /> </code> </p> <p>Modify the above so it looks like the following:</p> <p><code><br /> function aff_login_widget()<br /> {<br /> $affiliate_login_url = get_option('wp_aff_login_url');<br /> if(aff_main_check_security())<br /> {<br /> $output = show_aff_widget_logged_in_details($affiliate_login_url);<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> $output = show_aff_widget_login_form($affiliate_login_url);<br /> }<br /> return $output;<br /> }<br /> </code></p> <p>Regarding the SSL question, you might have to wait till Admin sees this post because he is the expert in that subject. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/can-i-set-affiliate-commissions-separately#post-29021 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:50:39 +0000 Peter 29021@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Yes that's right. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/subscription-payment-link#post-29020 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:44:14 +0000 Peter 29020@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> Regarding your question:<br /> "why buy now link redirect to home page?"</p> <p>Have you double-checked that your product ID has been correctly entered in the link?<br /> ie, ?wp_eStore_buy_now=X</p> <p>where X is a valid product ID which you can get from your eStore product configuration.</p> <p>Can you also please send a link to the page which contains your "buy now" text link? </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/update-link-button-not-visible#post-29019 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:32:26 +0000 Peter 29019@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi Christin,<br /> Yep I know what you mean because I just tried it myself.</p> <p>However this will only be a problem if you have a really small screen size.</p> <p>The reason why it behaves like this is because the popup is being created with a "fixed" position.</p> <p>Unfortunately you might have to put up with it for now and let's wait for admin to see if he has any better suggestions. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/subscription-payment-link#post-29018 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:28:26 +0000 kien 29018@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>do you have release day for this update?

The encrypted link, when clicked, if the link is not expired, causes an APR cookie to be issued.</p> <p>2. The browser is told to delete the cookie at the end of the current browser session. This is deliberate, as we want the access to be controlled by the same duration and expiration settings that manage the encrypted links.</p> <p>3. Once access has been granted, the expiry setting of the APR shortcode controls the amount of time access will be granted for that session. Think of it as a timeout setting. If access is being granted to a page with a continuous feed, it limits the number of minutes the user can watch the feed. When the expiry expires for the cookie, the user must get a new cookie.</p> <p>4. The purpose of the automagic cookie deletion and the expiry settings is to prevent people from saving and sharing cookies.</p> <p>Once this is understood, you see why we recommend the link duration and number of clicks being set as stated. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/can-i-set-affiliate-commissions-separately#post-29016 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:01:33 +0000 kimmy 29016@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Just to doublecheck - put 50% in the Additional Product Details -&gt; Product Specific Commission -&gt; Primary Commission (and leave the 2nd tier commission empty)?<br /> Thanks. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/can-i-set-affiliate-commissions-separately#post-29015 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:57:30 +0000 kimmy 29015@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>thank you! </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/customer-orders-download-video-but-link-is-pay-per-view-version#post-29014 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:41:27 +0000 Peter 29014@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi again,<br /> I forgot to add that there's nothing to stop you from creating buttons for each of the separate products with names which reflect the type of download such as:</p> <p>"Download MOV File"</p> <p>"Download FLV File"<br /> etc</p> <p>Just a suggestion....this might make it more seamless for your customers. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/customer-orders-download-video-but-link-is-pay-per-view-version#post-29013 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:37:04 +0000 Peter 29013@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> If I understand you correctly you're trying to offer PPV and downloadable simultaneously.

(I had to do a bit of a 'cheat' to get the 'Download' &amp; 'PPV' options into the 'same' box, WP-eStore doesn't allow this yet - technically they are two boxes over lapping.) The download version has three variables (.mov/.flv/.mp4). Several customers have clicked the link in their 'purchased download' email and instead of downloading, it shows a one off 'pay per view' version?</p> <p>I have verified that the settings are correct and the 'download' option is ticked in the Digital Content Details, but what I have noticed is that it only seems to happen when the customer selects a variable version it is not the initial version given in the Digital Product URL. [what I mean by this, to clarify, is that technically we are offering three different file options which all have there own specific URL, but in the Products &gt; Digital Content Details &gt; Digital Product URL box you can only enter one URL - I believe this is the correct way of doing this] </p> <p>So if I have set this URL as the 'myfileurl.mov' but in the 'Variations' section offer MOV/FLV/MP4 options - if a customer selects to download the .mov version, the email and download link work fine but when they select to download the .flv version, the encrypted link opens a window and shows them a 'pay per view' version??? Even though the email actually says, click the 'DOWNLOAD' version.</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong in my set up? Or if this just an error on the 'link' file within the purchase email.</p> <p>Any idea or help would be much appreciated. </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/a-somewhat-different-use-for-emember-newbie-question#post-29006 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:39:26 +0000 pauley13 29006@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>OK! I think I'm getting it to work :) :) :)<br /> But I do have one more question, if I may:</p> <p>After I've blocked all the pages I wanted blocked as well as POSTS - I get two different things:</p> <p>1. When I click on a forbidden page (as an unregistered user), I get to see "Please Login to view this Content (Not a member? Join Today)</p> <p>2. But when I click on a forbidden POST - I only see "Content is restricted"</p> <p>Is it possible for that message to be the same as in case of blocked pages?</p> <p>cheers :) p </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-pay-for-online-video-viewing-site-with-access-for-30-days/page/3#post-29005 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:14:38 +0000 Peter 29005@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> My understanding is that you should do the following:</p> <p>1. What amount of hours do I set the link expiration for in the "eStore &gt; Settings &gt; Digital Product Delivery Settings &gt; Duration of Download Link"?</p> <p>Set this to be greater than the presale period and the expected length of the broadcast. For you it looks like this should be at least 30 days?? (remember to convert this to hours)</p> <p>2. What does the shortcode for 7 day access look like?<br /> [wp_eStore_APR expiry=N status=unexpired]</p> <p>7 days converts to 10080 minutes. Therefore shortcode will be:<br /> [wp_eStore_APR expiry=10080 status=unexpired]</p> <p>3. What does the shortcode for 30 days look like?<br /> [wp_eStore_APR expiry=N status=unexpired] </p> <p>Same deal as above.....30 days equals 43200 minutes</p> <p>[wp_eStore_APR expiry=43200 status=unexpired] </p> http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/topic/installation-errorplugin-could-not-be-activated-because-it-triggered-a-fatal-err#post-29004 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:00:22 +0000 Business Coach 29004@http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forum/ <p>Thank you for replying so quickly.
