Filters & Hooks for Developers

This drip content plugin – Sequences by Eighty/20 Results – started its life as the PMPro Series plugin by Stranger Studios. The Sequences plugin contains all number of drip content capabilities that are unavailable to the PMPro Series add-on.Unlike the PMPro Series plugin, this plugin is more of a ‘click to configure’ plugin. As a result, in spite of the number of features, this plugin is hopefully a little less intimidating for the non-programmers to use. That said, there are a number of options available for programmers too (filters). 

About the default email alert templates

These templates are standard HTML files and need to have .html as their extension. By default, we have included two template files, one template is for the scenario where you want to send one alert per new post available that day. The other is a digest approach where we include a link of posts that were made available for the sequence and user that day.

The alert templates support a few variables that it can substitute:

!!name!! – The First Name for the user as defined in their profile

!!sitename!! – A filtered variable containing the name of the site (default: is the option ‘blogname’ as defined in the Site settings).

!!post_link!! – Either an <a href> tag (if configured to send one message per new post) or an unordered list of <a href> entries for each of the posts made available that day (depending on settings).

!!post_url!! – The URL to the available post. This URL will first send the user to the login page. If the user is logged in already, they will get redirected to the Sequence member post. If they are not logged in, they’ll be shown the login form and then redirected to the Sequence Member post. This specific variable is only available when the notification is configured to send one alert per new drip content post/page.

!!post_urls!! – An array of URLs to the available posts when sending digest type notifications. These URLs (links) are also designed to send users who haven’t logged in to the login page first. Once logged in, unless something is interfering, the user should get redirected to the content in the link. You will need to convert this list into a series of HTML link elements when processing the email message. This can be done with the e20r-sequence-email-substitution-fields filter.

!!today!! – The date for when the user is supposed to get access to the specified post/page in the sequence (i.e. membership startdate + delay value)

!!excerpt!! – The excerpt from the post/page containing the content we’re sending a reminder about.

!!ptitle!! – The title of the post/page we’re sending the alert about.

The template file must end with the .html extension. Whether or not the template file contains any of the replaceable variables is entirely optional.

Email Templates in PLUS Edition

When you purchase and activate the Sequences Plus license, the cumbersome .html email template system described above changes. From then on, email message templates are edited and managed in the “Email Notices” menu option in the WordPress Admin backend.

The email notices system uses the standard WordPress post/page editor and supports the same features as your posts and pages. Additionally, there’s a helpful list of all supported “substitution variables” included on the “Edit Email Notice” page, with documentation. As each email message is sent, the plugin will replace the substitution variable key with the related date for the recipient.

In addition to the substitution variables included above, the Plus License enables Email Notices that include the Post/Page Title, Post/Page Excerpt and/or the Post/Page content itself. The original use case for this enhanced functionality is an automated “One Email Per Day” capability.

Drip Content Shortcodes

The shortcode [sequence_links] will display a list of the posts or pages in the sequence (configured from the Sequence edit.php page in the WP backend.)

Supported arguments:

• id=”<Post ID for the sequence>”
• title=”The title you’d like to display above the listing” (<h3>)
• highlight=”1″ (Whether to display a green highlight & checkmark for the entry in the sequence list that was most recently made available to the user)
• button=”1″ – Whether to include the “Available now” button (uses class=”pmpro_btn”) for each post/page in the sequence list
• scrollbox=”1″ (Whether to wrap the list in a vertically scrollable <div></div> enclosure – supports scrolling)

Example for shortcode:

[[sequence_links id="7888" title="My Title" highlight="1" button="1" scrollbox="1"]]

Note: There are no spaces between the brackets ‘[‘ and the sequence_links text when using this shortcode “in real life”.

The shortcode [sequence_alert] will display the check-box to allow a user to opt in or out from receiving the email alert/notices.

Supported arguments:

• sequence_id=”<Post ID of the sequence>”

Example for shortcode:

[[sequence_alert sequence_id="7888"]]

The shortcode [e20r_available_on] will hide any content between the [e20r_available_on] and [/e20r_available_on] shortcodes until the days, or the date specified in the ‘when’ attribute has arrived and/or passed (this is relative to the logged-in users PMPro membership level start date).

If a date is specified, the content will become visible for all users, regardless of membership status(!), once that date arrives/has passed. If an integer delay value is specified, the content will remain hidden for all non-logged in users, always. Once a the membership for the user – assuming they are actually logged in to the site – has been active for longer than what the ‘when’ value specifies, the user will see/get access to the content. The integer/number represents the number of days since the logged in user’s start-date for the membership level they’re currently on.

Note that if you use a date value for the when attribute, it can be any date format supported by the strtotime() PHP function.

Supported arguments:

• when=”<Integer representing the number of days since membership start | A valid date>”

Example for shortcode:

[e20r_available_on when="10"]Something important we don't want anybody except members who have been members for more than 10 days to see[/e20r_available_on]

Or

[e20r_available_on when="2016-01-01"] Something we do not want anybody to see until January 1st, 2016 And I've included another shortcode too: [gravity_forms][/e20r_available_on]

Widget

The Sequences plugin includes a WordPress widget. This widget can be used to display an excerpt of the most current drip-sequence post/page (member).

You can configure:

• whether to include the post or page title in the widget output;
• what you would rather use (the default post/page summary title) if you decided to “hide” the actual post/page title for the drip content sequence entry.
• the number of words to include in the displayed excerpt (I use 35 words for mine);
• which of the created drip-sequences to use for the widget (drop-down list);
• and what the overall title text for the widget should be.

There are also numerous filters available to let you configure the widget. (See filter list below.)

Random questions (FAQ)

How difficult is it to migrate from PMPro Series?

It’s very easy actually. If you’ve spent time and effort building complex drip-feed series of content, this plugin supports a non-destructive import of existing PMPro Series drip content feeds. That means you can import your Series to Sequences and keep your existing PMPro Series around until you’re satisfied the migration/conversion was successful.

Or, if you invest in the Sequences Plus Edition plugin, you’ll find a Graphical User Interface to walk you through the process.

I installed E20R Sequences, but none of my existing PMPro Series show up?

Correct. This plugin does not assume you want to automatically import any previously existing PMPro Series.

However, there is a filter available (see the filter list below) which will let you automatically import PMPro Series and the posts they manage (all of the defined series, a list of series, none of them (default)) when activating this E20R Sequences plugin. In other words, the filter needs to be defined and available before you activate the E20R Sequences plugin.

How many posts/pages can I include in a single Sequence?

Ultimately, it depends on the size and processing power of your web server. At the moment, I have sequences that have 100s of posts per sequence configured for my shared WordPress hosted production environment. These sequences are all configured to send email notices to users whenever new content is available for them, which for some of them are daily.

Can I add my own template for email alerts?

Yes (This is way easier when you have purchased the Sequences Plus Edition license!)

Create a .html file consisting of regular HTML (and, if you want, your own CSS) then;

1. Create a directory (`sequence-email-alerts`) in the root directory for the current active theme: /wp-content/themes/<your theme>
2. Create the HTML you want to use as a new content notice template and include it in a file (must use the .html file extension).
3. Upload your .html file to this directory
4. Go to your Sequence (in the Sequence editor) and select your template under the “Settings for this Sequence” metabox ( Sequences -> Select the Sequence to Edit -> Settings for this Sequence -> Template).

How do you hide upcoming posts from the end-user (so they can’t see the title and when the post becomes available)?

Use the “Hide all future posts” setting on the Sequence definition page (in /wp-admin/).

How do you signify the first day of the delay/membership?

Here’s my basic premise; Humans operate and think along the lines of “On the first day of my membership…”, not “On the zeroth day of my membership…”. We do recognize our 1st day or 1st year after it is complete, but we still refer to it as “day 1” and “day 1 + 1 second” as the beginning of the 2nd day. Even in the Gregorian calendar, there’s no “year 0” or “day 0”. Those are an instant, then it immediately switches to 1.

So in this plugin, I treat the 1st second of the membership as “day 1” .

Thus, if you configure delays by days (not date of release), you’ll need to consider that content you want available instantly needs to be configured with a delay of 0 or 1. Once the 2nd day has started (i.e. at midnight + 1 second after they signed up), the delay comparison would be 2 (and not 0 which is what it is for the  PMPro Series plugin).

What does “current” mean?

I use the word “current” to describe the post/page in the specific drip-sequence that is currently the post with a delay value that is the closest match to either the users current “day of membership” or the specific calendar date for the posts or pages in the post/page drip sequence.

What’s the point of the “Preview” functionality?

This functionality was included to let my users get access to a post/page a configurable number of days prior to what the delay value for the post/page is. I use this preview value to let my clients see/access upcoming lessons since I may want to let them prepare for the day of release in advance. At the same time, the highlight functionality in the shortcode/list correctly identifies the “lesson of the day”.

I need help! Something isn’t working… (or it’s stupidly laid out)

It’s bound to happen, so let me start by apologizing.

I’ve tried to test the living daylights out of this, and I have the handy “It works for me!” excuse ready for a quick cut ‘n paste.

I do, however, realize that you’re going to have a different thought pattern and different ideas from me on how something ought to work. You’re also likely to be more creative than I am when it comes to how you go about using it.

I love that fact!

So please, if you have a problem with this plugin, start by making sure you’re running the most recent version. Then please leave me a message in the support forum for E20R Sequences and tell me:

• what you were trying to do;
• what did or didn’t happen;
• plus any and all error/warning messages you saw;
• and get ready to help me troubleshoot.

I will probably ask you to (temporarily) enable WP_DEBUG for your environment. This will degrade the performance of your site while it’s enabled, so I suggest you only enable it to try and reproduce your error, then disable it again when you’ve reproduced it.

While WP_DEBUG is enabled, the E20R Sequence plugin will log a lot of information to files in its debug directory. This directory is normally found at: %wp-content%/uploads/e20r-sequences/. There are up to two files that have filenames that look like this: “debug_log.txt” and “debug_log.txt.old”.

Please upload your debug log to something like Pastebin.com or Dropbox.com, or any other upload service, and then us the Support Forum to point me in the right direction.

TODO – Trello board

We have a – somewhat inactive – Trello.com board for the E20R Sequences for Paid Memberships Pro plugin (opens in a new tab/window). This Trello board is used to track user requests for new plugin features/capabilities. We also use it to track our progress with developing those requests.

Whenever we accept and start working on a feature, it will moved from the “Requested Features” board to the “In-Progress Features” board and should typically be assigned a schedule.

If you believe the schedule needs to be accelerated, please consider sponsoring parts of the development effort, or even the whole thing.

Known issues

• If you started with this plugin on one of the V2.x versions, you *must* deactivate and then activate this plugin to convert your sequences to the new metadata formats. (Won’t fix)
• The conversion to the V3 metadata format disables the ‘Send alerts’ setting, so remember to re-enable it after you’ve re-enabled the plugin. (Won’t fix)
• Format for “Posts in sequence” metabox doesn’t handle responsive screens well – Fix Pending

For more, see the Issues section for the plugin on Github.com
