In reply to: [BulletProof Security] MeatyOh man, what the hell was I smoking on that review. Sorry, that was crap. I updated it.
Seconded. I cannot get it to operate at all. ??
I’m not seeing much in the way of response here and the user forums on the plug-in’s page require a paid subscription to post, so…
…if anyone has any suggestions on a peer-to-peer basis, I’m open to ’em!

In reply to: [CollabPress] SHORT CODESYou should try it out — we use it to manage small film projects.
haven’t figured out the shortcodes yet, but the back end is nice.
That was perfect! Thank you, laNiwa!

In reply to: How to sell streaming (not downloadable) video…?Okay, so if Hostgator won’t host them, then I suggest you backtrack a bit and find out what tools Amazon offers.
They may already have what you need as part of their infrastructure.

In reply to: How to sell streaming (not downloadable) video…?Amazon S3 will charge you for streaming. If your host allows streaming, they won’t charge you (probably).
But it’s good to ask.
How many videos you talking about?

In reply to: How to sell streaming (not downloadable) video…?naekid, you want to check with your host to see if they permit streaming. Not all do.

In reply to: How to sell streaming (not downloadable) video…?Well, if I wanted to set that up using my system…
…off the top of my head, mind you…
…I would just plain set up each video as a pay-per-view.
If they want to watch it, they have to pay to watch.
So, there’s that.
I might write to support of the PPV module and ask them “Hey, does your PPV module retain its settings, such that if a customer buys a video, they can keep coming back to watch it for free for a while?”
If so, then your problem is solved.
If not…
…then again, off the top of my head…
…I’d assign a subscription to each video.
So, let’s say you wanted to buy my movie “The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath”. Then you would basically “buy” permission to watch the movie for some period of time (say, one year). So, as long as you don’t flush your cookies, every time you come to my site for the next year, “The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath” is available for you to watch for free.
I would set that up as a subscription that was 1:1 with that movie. Then, on the movie page, I would post variations as I described above, such that if you were Ordinary Joe, you would have to pay, but if you belonged to the subscription-associated-with-this-movie, you could watch it for free.
This allows you to keep adding more movies as you go, without affecting your subscriptions or other items.
Does that make sense?

In reply to: How to sell streaming (not downloadable) video…?“Did you ever find a solution?”
I did, but it was a little complicated. I implemented it as a test and then masked that whole section of the site until I had more videos.
This is what I did (very high level):
I uninstalled wp-ecommerce
I went to WPMU and signed up for a subscription. I downloaded and installed their Membership, ecommerce, and PPV plug-ins.
I set up a page for each video such that it looked like this:
[if you’re an ordinary visitor, show:]
[the PPV code to see the movie for a buck]
[but if you’re a one-day review visitor, show:…]
[the PPV to see the movie for 0.75]
[but if you’re a paid subscriber, show:…]
[the PPV code to see the movie for free]That’s a very high-level look at it.
Does that help at all?

In reply to: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen()“Same issue here. Would you advise using a different e-commerce plugin? If so, which one?”
I got tired of the hack.
I dumped e-commerce and instead installed MarketPress and bought a subscription to the company’s support system. I regret NOTHING!
I now use several of their plug-ins. Three thumbs up!
Oh.
Well, based on what you wrote, I think you have a bigger problem.
Can you confirm that other WP installations work on this server?
“No. I work in a shared hosting for developing and after that uploaded everything to the client server.”
Can you confirm that the Jetpack plug-in works on the server on other WP installs?
“Can be something server related?”
You developed on the same server?
