WP-Members 2.9.0 Beta Release Available

Chad Butler · Feb 13, 2014 ·

This article is provided free. Find out how you can get full access to premium content, including how-to articles and support forums, as well as priority email support and member exclusive plugin extensions..

 

WP-Members 2.9.0 is nearly done and is now available for testing. This version has been in the works for quite some time. I started the build early last fall. It has taken some time to get everything up to the point where the package is really ready because I have incorporated a number of new features that required some major code overhaul in a few places.  Continue Reading →

Modifying default error messages that are not editable in the dialogs tab

Chad Butler · Feb 7, 2014 ·

When I first developed the admin panels for the plugin, I added editable dialogs for most of the various error messages.  Since then, some additional dialogs have been added for form validation (as well as the ability to add your own validation and messages).  However, most of those were not included in the dialogs tab.  This is mainly because it does take quite a bit of programming overhead and more system resources for adding this as a feature.

So what if you want to change one of these messages?  For example, you would like to change the message “The username cannot include non-alphanumeric characters” to something more light hearted, such as “Like, no weird characters in the username, dude!”  This code snippet collects a number of these default message strings and allows you to replace them with your own versions.  Continue Reading →

Reset password with just email

Chad Butler · Jan 27, 2014 ·

NOTE: if you are using version 2.9+, there is a new set of code snippets using some new filter hooks that make this process easier.

One of the requests I get most often is how can I change the plugin to have the password reset only require the user to give their email address.  This especially comes up when people customize the process to use the person’s email address as their username, since a password reset form with “username” and “email” doesn’t make much sense in that situation.

Well, since version 2.8.5, there has been a filter hook in the password reset process that allows you to filter the arguments that are passed in order to reset the user’s password – wpmem_pwdreset_args.  There are two stages to this demonstration, and thus two parts of the code snippet.  First, we only need a form requesting the user’s email, so we will remove the “username” field from the form.  Second is filtering the arguments of the password reset process so that the user’s password can be reset with only the email provided.

A random word and number combination for passwords

Chad Butler · Jan 22, 2014 ·

One of the earliest code snippets provided on this site was one that discussed how to create an easier random password.  This post discussed two examples: one that showed how to create a random password of only upper and lower case letters and one that always set a specific word.

I understand that some sites have users that are not very computer savvy, and I often get the question of how does one generate a random password that is both secure and easy to use.  So, I came up with this little example.

This code snippet will generate a password that is a combination of a random word and a random 2 digit number.  This allows you to generate random passwords that will be easier on the user and still have some level of security.  Continue Reading →

Use an invitation code with the PayPal subscription extension

Chad Butler · Jan 14, 2014 ·

When running the PayPal subscription extension, you might have some users you want to give a free account to. Or you might want to offer a discount to users with a specific code.  Here is are some code snippets that will allow you to validate a promotion code in the registration form and if it is valid, either bypass the PayPal process (for a free subscription) or apply a discount.  Continue Reading →
