hook into s2member file download functions WordPress

• REFUNDED

I'm using s2member plugin to restrict downloads. it has several hooks that can be used to customize the functionality.
here are the hooks documentation :
http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=9134&src_doc_v=110605

this works :

add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_before_file_download_access','wpc_notify_file_download');

function wpc_notify_file_download(){
wp_mail('[email protected]','test','test');
wp_redirect( '/thank-you/' ); exit;
}

but if I use the after download access hook, it doesn't work, the hook doesn't seem to fire.

also, if a non member tries to download, they are redirected to a register page, I'd like the download to start automatically once they register and log in.

Hi Paul,

From what I see, the function uses exit() before the action running..
this might terminated the function, so ws_plugin__s2member_before_file_download_access won't work, [[LINK href="http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10126&p=20923"]]this thread[[/LINK]] have the same issue with the hook.

the ws_plugin__s2member_before_file_download_access hook works, the ws_plugin__s2member_after_file_download_access doesn't.
and I'm the one who posted that question on the s2member forums :)

Ouch.. :D

Yes, ws_plugin__s2member_before_file_download_access will work because it fired before the script terminated with php exit(), and ws_plugin__s2member_after_file_download_access fired after exit() run.

You can check their position on s2member codex..
