implementing a comlex system with Custom Capabilities and API?

    I have s2member Pro and I want to implement a system where I have 4 different courses and every course has 3 to 4 levels. Course levels would be incremental, but Courses themselves are not incremental so course 4 does NOT include course 1, 2 and 3.
    I had read that the best route for this would be using Custom Capabilities because s2 levels seem to work incrementally.

    So far so good, BUT it seems impossible to target Custom Capabilities with list integration (Mailchimp) since these relate to s2 levels using API. So if I would have s2 level-1 and then create the courses with custom capabilities all of the courses ( and their “levels”) would get the same autoresponder linked to s2 Level-1. Am I correct?

    On the other hand I have heard that s2 levels are not necesarry incremental. Is this true and how should I go about it?

    What would be the best route with s2member to have the mentioned courses and be able to target every level seperately with list integration?

    Any help much appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Demian

  • If you install the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin, you will be able to remove the capabilities from the higher user roles that would otherwise allow them to access the lower levels. Then the roles will no longer be incremental.

    You will also need to add the hack here.

    Thanks KTS915,

    Now: Can I target Custom Capabilities with list integration? I would need that in order to run the courses properly using autoresponders (Mailchimp.

    Thanks,

    Well, if you do what I suggested then you won’t need Custom Capabilities at all.

    You’d be using user roles (i.e. s2member levels 1, 2, etc). You’d just have changed slightly what access those roles provide, but that won’t matter to an autoresponder like Mailchimp.

    Thanks KTS915, For me this is still like deep waters where I only see the surface. You are pointing a flashlight in the right direction. Thanks again.

    I’m working on a similar setup, with four different test levels with different views for each level. But no MailChimp.

    So far so good. I’m wondering how to trigger a change in member level after completing a test correctly, and how to stack non-sequential tests into a member level of its own.

    Are you doing this also?

    That sounds interesting.

    Assuming that your test controls whether access is permitted to another post or page, what I’d do for your first issue would be to place a Subscription Modification Button or form on that post or page, so that the member can then upgrade (whether you charge for that or not).

    I’m not quite sure I understand what you mean by “stack non-sequential tests into a member level of its own.”

    stacking test achievements.

    A user/member has to complete four tests for certification.
    We display a list of tests and which is competed or not.
    User can complete test 1, 2, 3, or 4 in any order.
    If user completes test 2 & 4 how would I display this for that user?

    That sounds more like a matter for the testing plugin or LMS that you are using.
