member subscription

    I am using EME as a calendar of my clients concerts. It is not a membership site but I wanted to send signed up members notification of new events. I am not sure how the membership is supposed to integrate with the calendar but, functionally I was thinking of a subscribe button on events that would use the [emefs_submit_event_form] shortcode. A code snippet would then send to all signed up members upon publishing a new event.

    Is this using the membership functionality as intended?

    No, memberships is for a real membership community (like a club), with groups, custom fields per person (if in a certain group), expiring memberships per person, and even using [eme_if] you can hide certain content if a wordpress user (linked to one or more EME persons) is not in a certain EME group etc …
    You can now however use the new [eme_subform] shortcode (I know, it is only in the changelog, not yet documented) so people can subscribe to groups that are designated as ‘mail only’. That is more like mailing list management though.

    OK. So I created a Membership, a group and a subscribe template. And as a test a page with [eme_subform] which I tested with a nonwp user and submitted only to get an error and no member added

    Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/chriskernmusic/public/wp-includes/class-smtp.php on line 368

    And no added member. I am unsure therefore of the workflow I need to follow in order to add a subscriber.

    No offence but the whole aspect of membership functionality seems to be somewhat hidden. There seems very little documentation about it. It doesn’t seem to be very prominent. It does seem that eme has more than the functionality I need.

    Essentially I need
    1.a non wp user to be able to join (either as an eme member or a WP user)
    2.to join that user to a group
    3.to email that group whenever there is a new event
    Is this possible in eme?

    eme_subform is for subscribing to a EME group that is designated as a mailgroup, not a member subscription form.
    See the doc for member forms: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/category/documentation/6-shortcodes/eme_add_member_form/

    But you apparently just need eme_subform. If you have those mail issues, read the FAQ on certificate issues (not an EME problem): https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/faq/
    The person should still be added to EME though (I don’t know the content of your eme_subform and if you have any mail groups defined of course).

    Edit: and of course you can say in the membership definition that a new person should be added to a certain group too. But again: that is for memberships.
