Okay, I’ll talk to the people with the moolah and see if they’re into it.
I had done tons of research trying to find a plugin that integrated invitation codes but had only found the BAW version so thank you for finding that!
Hmm okay, we might just go the easy and cheaper (but longer) route and add each user individually.
I was hoping there would be some functionality like what is found in this plugin:
http://www.wordpress.org/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/Unfortunately no. But, again, my ability to properly explain has failed me :’)
What I’m envisioning is that the ‘access code’ is just another field in the user section (the ones up top, such as username, name, email, role, posts, etc.). So the access code they input is passed through into the user information section.
Seems easy enough. Just add a custom field and pass whatever the user inputs into the “access code” field through. However, I want it so that only access codes that I say exist are allowed to be entered. So this access code just gives them access to the site (or registration form) and from there. I use the access code to verify their identity in my excel spreadsheet.
By the way, thank you so much for the help!
I think I explain incorrectly haha.
The was I see it in my mind is a I have an excel spreadsheet laid out as such:
User | Access Code
User1 | a385bfd
User2 | sdn48hf
User3 | 3y9hfhsThen I print out each access code (or coupon code) and hand that to each user. Give the code to them and they use it like an ‘invitation code’ for the website. That way I can cross-reference my user database with my original excel spreadsheet and eliminate errors. The reason this convoluted process is necessary is because we don’t want the website manager to have to add in each user individually as the users will come and go (it’s a cadet program and 7 years max AND people quit often).
I hope that was a bit more clear, I realized my last reply was a little confusing 🙂
I’m basically using it as a unique identifier for each user. I hand the user a hardcopy of the code and then they enter it in to the registration form when they go to register to my site. Just a way to confirm the identity of each user. If they enter in “Joe” when their name is actually “Bob” I can quickly recognize this as I know I handed coupon code “123abc” to “Bob” and not to “Joe”
Just out of curiosity, what would that shortcode look like. I’m not sure how to adapt it from the video so let’s say I wanted 50, one-time access codes. How could I generate those codes and implement them properly?
Yes, you do that by tweaking the appropriate shortcode. Take a look at the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3N_vygowbM&feature=youtu.be Further details are in the s2Member Pro back-end.
Hmm okay. I’ll ask if they’d like to invest in the pro version and everything else seems pretty straight forward from that. Thanks!
Okay so I think we’ll invest in that, is there a way to mass generate about 100 unique “coupons” that are one time use?
And wow haha I actually setup the member levels like that originally but I hadn’t thought of using it for achomplishing that.
Thank you
