    Hi,
    does anyone know how we can remove fields from the sign up form? Here's our scenario.

    We have 2 membership types, standard and gold.

    when someone signs up to standard they can upgrade to gold.

    I've created a specific link in the link wizard in CP to the gold sign-up form, however customer still needs to enter email address and choose a new login name and password. Is there any way to bypass this and go straight to paypal payment? from a user perspective it's a bit weird having to choose new login, name and password if you are already logged in as a member. (I did use 1ShoppingCart link, but this is not reliable as we need immediate membership update)

    thanks soooo much in advance.
    Jase

    Users should upgrade via the members page at /amember/member.php
    You can set whether you want the user to see lower level products in the admin/products page.

    thank you David, appreciate the reply.
    I'm aware of that functionality, I was looking for a smoother method. eg. user hits a "Upgrade Now" button on our site which links directly to payment. Is there anyone who knows how this could be done?
    thanks

    The upgrade your subscription post on the members page is via a form. Convert the form data into a link instead of a submit.
    For example,
    By Viewing the source of my member.php page
    I create:

    /member.php?action=renew&product_id=14&paysys_id=paypal_r

    great thanks David!

    I see that it took me to the member page with the product and payment type already selected, which was great. The member then just simply selects "Order" button to process.
    Next question is, is there any extra string we can attach to the link that actions the "Order" button to be pressed? ie take the member straight to the next page - in this instance the agreement page /member.php#e.

    Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I am very new to php.

    pls ignore previous post.
    I worked it out
    /member.php?action=renew&product_id=2&paysys_id=paypal_r&input_type=submit

    seemed to work! this is great as it get's me past the issues I was having with 1shoppingcart. I don't need it anymore.
    Thanks David you are a champion.
    cheers
    Jase
