    Hi,

    I see that some GD users are also using S2 Member.

    S2 member just got back to me about being able to restrict partial posts/pages
    so I was thinking of using it to restrict content.

    I want to have some articles that non-members can only view a portion of without becoming a member.

    The question is, Is it possible to leave GD as my primary login so new members can join using my current GD Custom post types and have S2 member just for restricting content?

    Or, is it going to want to take control of that?

    Will I need to hire someone to make this happen, or for other things that might conflict that I don’t know about?

    Thanks

    You can only have one registration/login system, and you will need to use S2 for that. Activate S2, and have a go at the setup. The S2 forum should be able to help if you get stuck.

    So, If they use S2 to register and pay for the level, does this still allow use all my custom fields in CPT’s in GD.

    Or would S2 just be used to register and pay?

    Have there been very many successful integrations of GD and S2 that you know of?

    Thanks,

    S2 is used to register people, free or paid.
    I worked on quite a few integrations, here is one: http://www.2cv.com.au/

    S2 is only for registration and then restricting content, if you choose so. It has no impact whatsoever on GD unless you choose so.

    I just got done configuring it. I like it.

    But now, it just changed my forum colors back to original. And I could hardly read the type as I tried to do a test registration.

    I had the forum topics highlighted like you but it put them back to black,
    and it took my sub-forums and put them next to each other rather
    than vertically.

    I just deactivated S2 and it’s only partially fixed.

    Would it be unfair to ask what CSS you used to get the forums in color
    rather than black text. Odd, it kept the right side in color. And, the main
    title bar on top has back text instead of the white I had before.

    I will have to experiment a little to see if I want to buy the premium version, I don’t want to keep it unless I pay for the version with support.
    They did send me the code for restricting partial content, I like that.

    That would not have anything to do with S2, that should not affect your CSS at all.
    Just have a look at the CSS used on the other site, review this for how to do it:

    I had one of our guys fix it this morning, S2 apparently only caused the
    sub-forums to go horizontal, but not the font problem, something else caused that and I just didn’t get to the forum to notice.

    But now its all fixed.

    I do have a problem of very light text in some cases, but not all.

    I did find that, in my opinion, S2 is far better for what I need than Paid Membership Pro. I will get back to it when we have time to commit to it.

    Thanks for the reply
