I have a developer's license and am using the paypal, mailchimp and user registration add ons, and 'members' plug in to set up a club membership with private members area. A member is added to WP and Mailchimp lists after payment. This is working. Yea!
i assume that somewhere, WP knows what the renew date is since i have a 1 year membership they pay for. I have not added the renew date to the form so how do I access the renew date to manually add a member, or show that renew date on user profile editor.
I did find this entry in the support forum for the entry date: How can I put todays date on the form that will show up in the results.
"a date field that I will hide so only admin can see it.
You can use one of these merge tags as the default value for your hidden field:
{date_mdy}" .
2. There is custom meta collected by the club for ea. member which is not showing on user profile. Once i create the custom user meta fields with justin tadlock's http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields link, will previously added members custom meta be in their user profile? Where is this data stored?
3. I am unclear on the concept of creating a login name. I have created a field called login, and could have it auto fil with the email address and have it hidden, or non editable. but, i want the user to know that the email address will be their login. should i use the merge tag: {user:user_email}?

Regarding #1, were you able to store today's date in the form for admin use only?

How do I create a renew field that will be 365 days from join date? For members that will need to renew after the first year, I will have a renew form in the members area that is an annual recurring subscription, but the initial join form is not recurring (different price), it's a product or service, so I need to tell it a 1 year expiration to lock the user out of the members area and let admin know who is expired.
Perhaps there is a better way to approach this? using GF, paypal, mailchimp, and User Registration add ons.
many thanks,

Gravity only helps you to create and update users.
I'm developing a similar project using GF, Members and Expire Users.
I have in the registration forms set to insert a custom meta with the expire date (1 month or 1 year from now, depending on what the user chooses). Expire Users takes care of the role change at that set date. For the users to continue, I have Update forms where if they pay, there are 2 options in the backend: if it's expired, expire date is set from now + month/year, if he is still active takes the expiration date and adds a month/year.
This was my logic way of doing it.

Madalin Ignisca, is there a way I could email you privately? I have installed the expiry plugin, and a field for expriy date 1 year from join date, but for continuing users, your solution, "Update forms where if they pay, there are 2 options in the backend: if it's expired, expire date is set from now + month/year, if he is still active takes the expiration date and adds a month/year." I wonder if you could explain this a bit more so I could reproduce it?
many thanks,
