User Default Role

  • Hi,
    I like this plugin.
    As a customer, i don’t like to enter a long form just to complete the purchase. And that’s why i never display registration form on EDD Checkout.

    Question from me (a request actually):
    I seen on your plugin, user default role is set to subscriber. and it can be changed by using the filters.
    But can you add this role as the plugin’s setting option?
    Just to make it handy.

    I want to create custom role for the customers where i can assign them to certain pages (by using another Role Manager plugins), and set this role to this plugin.
    But i don’t want to change default WordPress user default role, as i still want use this as default user role from default registration form.

    Regards.

    So you would like to add the role as a setting under downloads->settings->extensions, correct? I’ll certainly consider this

    Yes, that’s right.
    That would be helpful.

    Thanks.

    New version is out and requires EDD 1.9.

    The new version has had a complete code overhaul so the old filter for changing the default role has changed. Let me know if you still need to change the default role and I’ll provide you a new code example.

    Hi,
    thanks for the update.
    now how to change the default role?

    Regards

    in your description it says the mail is sent AFTER payment, but in reality the mail is sent before. So people actually receive an account without paying a penny ??

    Is it possible to change the role after a succesful payment? Or send the mail only after payment is complete?

    The description is probably out of date, sorry about that.

    It used to send it after payment was complete, but I needed to support off-site payment solutions such as PayPal. Also, this is the way EDD’s account registration works. So to answer your question, it will not be possible to for this plugin to change role after a successful payment.

    Ouch, okay.. I’ve lost about 500 Eur because of this :-/ people could generate their own licenses when registered

    Do you know if I can send username & password in the “order succesful mail” from EDD? That would solve it for me..

    I’m truly sorry but the outcome would have been the same if you didn’t use this plugin and simply used EDD’s account creation.

    This plugin auto generates the password using a core WP function, so retrieving and unhashing/unencrypting this password for use in the email will prove difficult.

    If you are a developer or would like to hire one, you can certainly take my plugin and modify it for your needs. You’d want to use EDD’s edd_complete_purchase action hook to run your custom functionality.

    The other way is to modify your license creation so the user cannot activate a license unless they have purchased X product from your store. There are built in functions within EDD that can lookup a user’s purchases, so this is easily achievable.

    No problem, if I wasn’t super happy with EDD, I would be a lot less satisfied.

    I will try to play around with user roles and somehow change role to “licensed” after purchase..

    thanks!

    hmm that sounds good aswell, where can I find that?

    Great, so the way I see it you have 2 options.

    1. Change your licensing creation to only allow license creation is user has purchased the particular product (I’d vote for this option).

    In EDD’s includes/user-functions.php file you’ll find the edd_has_user_purchased() function, along with parameters it can take. Start there. If you have trouble, feel free to open a ticket on the EDD support forums. I’m also a support moderator there.

    2. Change user role on purchase. This one would require you to use the wp_update_user function, and run your custom function on the edd_complete_purchase hook.
