Hi Leighton,
I've just installed Membership Suite on a test site to play with. Looks pretty good so far. I've got a couple of questions, though.
-When users cancel their subscription in PayPal, how does that info get passed to Membership Suite so the role they're subscribed to can be removed? I cancelled a test buy of an indefinitely recurring subscription a couple of hours ago, and then ran cron. But the user still has the subscribed role, and I don't see anything on the user account page that indicates it has an expiration date. I'm not sure how to test whether this is working correctly.
-Is there anywhere that an admin can see a list of users with roles assigned through Membership Suite, and/or search for ones that are going to expire soon?
Not a programmer, here--I'm much more comfortable with the admin interface than with anything involving PHP. But I'll go in there if I have to, or find someone who can.
Thanks,
Lissa
When users cancel their Subscription, PayPal sends a subscr_cancel IPN to the site, and it gets recorded. The membership is then flagged as cancelled, but it is still active for as long as is left in that subscription (end of the last term they payed for). At the end of the term, the membership is marked as expired and the role is removed. This ensures that people will get what they paid for, instead of immediately being blocked/removed when they cancel. You can change this setting in the Membership Plan Advanced Settings so that the role is removed immediately upon cancellation.
There is also a membership list in the Site Building -> Memberships page.
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
