Title: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Grudge on August 12, 2006, 06:09:49 AM

Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=413)

This modification is currently in beta - do not use it unless you are sure you know what you are doing!

This modification will add the ability to charge users a subscription to join a membergroup for a defined period of time.

Currently this only works with paypal, and maybe worldpay/authorize.net. To install simply run the modification and then enable the mod from the Settings tab in "Paid Subscriptions" from the admin center.

Note for paypal to work you need to setup your account to direct your IPN to this script. To do this login to paypal, click "Profile" and then select the "IPN" link from merchant tools. Enter the URL of your forum, and then the subs/ipn.php. For example:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/subs/ipn.php

This is required for paypal to notify the forum that the payment was received.

Grudge,

Thanks for all your work. The only issue I'm having with it (using it for PayPal) is it won't delete users I select who are "Finished" with their subscription. I'm still in the testing phase and won't be active with it until October.

Thanks.

Very very good !!!

But, on my site, I use PayPal and money ( in bills ) and Western UNion ... And other ways of paying method.

Has anyway to " SET " the users MANUALLY ? ...

Example:

User " A " pay for 3 months ... Has anyway to make what the user " A " before the 3 months will automatically changed to " Default User " ?????

Thanks a lot for your idea !!! ;););););)

emm, why doesn't this have 1.0.7 protection?
i installed this from the package manager manually

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: WarBirD on August 13, 2006, 06:27:06 AM

Its an amazing mod. The question is, how do I make it work in other themes than the standard theme ?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Grudge on August 13, 2006, 06:40:37 AM

MegaV1 - it won't work on 1.0.7 I believe?

It will only *not* work on non-default themes if they have edited the profile I believe - even then I think it would work?

Post by: digit on August 13, 2006, 03:39:29 PM

Hey Grudge,

I get a file corrupted message when using the package manager, and when I manually try to install it - after creating the subs directory, uploading files, etc, I see that this part doesn't work.....

Code Select



	<file name="$sourcedir/Admin.php">
		<!-- A seach operation, with search rules and code to modify the file with. -->
		<operation error="ignore">
			<!-- Search for this text before the code we add.  You can also search for after, and the end of the file. -->
			<search position="before"><![CDATA[
		if (allowedTo('manage_bans'))
			$context['admin_areas']['members']['areas']['ban'] = array($txt['ban_title'], 'ManageBans.php', 'Ban');
]]></search>
			<!-- Add this text when we find it.  Note that it's on it's own line on purpose, and the CDATA keeps things clean. -->
			<add><![CDATA[
		if (allowedTo('admin_forum'))
			$context['admin_areas']['members']['areas']['paidsubscribe'] = array($txt['paid_subscriptions'], 'ManagePaid.php', 'ManagePaidSubscriptions');
]]></add>
		</operation>

in fact, in my $sourcedir/Admin.php I have no occurance of "ManageBans.php" at all!

I am running 1.1 RC2

If you can help, I sure would appreciate it!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Why does it require the site owner to change their IPN.

You could instead use.

Code Select


<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://yourdomain.com/path/to/your/ipn.php">

Which means the owner can use more than one IPN.

Would you consider making this change?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Grudge on August 13, 2006, 06:13:38 PM

MrCue,

Yes - that makes much sense.

digit,

Bugger - that whole operation *should* be ignored. I wonder whether it was a bug fixed in RC3? You can hit continue if that's the only problem - that file is only there to let it install on the development edition (i.e. SMF after 1.1)

I wish I could upgrade now, but between the member map, flashchat, charter member mods, among other tweeks I've made, it's just not feasible to upgrade to another beta version.

Also - again - I get a file corrupted messsage when selecting and uploading the mod (.tar.gz version) using the package manager. (1.1 RC2)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on August 14, 2006, 09:16:09 AM

Grudge,

Any thoughts on what I talked about above? When I finish out a user's subscription and try and delete the account from the list, it won't delete.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Jim - do you mean when you manually "finish" them from the admin menu as oppossed to letting it do it automatically?

Hey...here is another issue. I don't want to give my users the options of not having recurring payment. I explain in my registration process they turn off their subscription via their PayPal account. I need for recurring payments to be required.

How do I make that change?

Thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply

Ermm not to sure how to chmod files inside a tar.gz

I tried just uploading the files extracted from the tar.gz but package manager did not recognise it.

Its not the values that are a problem, but how to do it lol

click the paid subscriptions link under members in admin. There you will see 2 tabs, view subscriptions and settings. click settings and thats where you alter currency and enter your paypal email etc.

Hope that helps

Anyone Know If It Would Be Possible To Do This?:

The first XXX# New registrations Auto Upgraded To Subscription Service Free For XXX# Months

@Bigguy..

I managed to downgrade from 1.0.7 to 1.1 RC2 with no problems at all. I simply uploaded the 1.1 rc2 update package, ran upgrade.php.. done. The only 2 little glitches I had were my board refused to emerge from maintenence mode which I sorted by setting the value to 0 in settings.php and my cookies screwed up which I repaired with repair_settings.php and I now have all the mods I wanted and more besides, including this one which I reall wanted.

Thanks again for the help and advice buddy, much appreciated :D

First I would like to thank Grudge for making a kick ass MOD like this!! Very cool!!

Second I used an exsisting membergroup for the paid subscription MOD. What I would like to do is set an expiration date on all of my users that currently have that membergroup assigned. How would I go about doing that ??

I see it has been done here with the Charter Members. I just need to know how ;D

Pertaining to my post {click here to view} (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=105532.msg688686#msg688686) I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the database values are on one of your subscriptions ??

I was thinking of manually editing the database to accomplish what I need.

Thanks for any help!

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Gargoyle on August 20, 2006, 04:22:28 PM

Alright I am a NOOB and I admit it.... I found how to do it... LOL!!!

So now that's behind me is there a way to make a subscription "renew only" ??

What I want is to make a subscription that I have to set-up for them but after I set it up they can renew the subscription all they want... They can't get the subscription... But they can re-new it once I give it to them....

Does that make sense ??

Members do not see a Paid Subsriptions option in their profile. I can see the paid subscriptions in my profile, I can also see the options in the admin panel.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: allotments4all on August 23, 2006, 06:19:42 AM

Just to let people know I have fixed my issue.

It was caused by an extra comma in Profile.php,

The last entry in the

$sa_allowed = array(

had a comma at the end, which caused an a few of the items to not be displayed.

On another note I would like to have an icon on the page which takes users directly to the subscription area, does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks

I think you need to create a new membergroup, like donator or something like that.
set that membergroup with the right board permissions, you want to have them access to.
After you added a new group, you should see this in the list of primary membergroups.
If not, the mod is not working correct. And I don't know what else to do, maybe you can delete it and retry installing.

I am using it with RC3, once I had found the extra comma (I think due to the ignore board mod) it works great.

When you create a new member group from the SMF admin area, make sure you do not base it on posts.

It does work!

Code Select


else
	generateError($txt['paid_unknown_transaction_type']);

Change to:

Code Select


else
{
	generateError($txt['paid_unknown_transaction_type'] . "\n\n" . print_r($_POST, true));

And PM/email me the error messages?

I set up smf 1.1rc3 and installed Paid Subscriptions 0.9. No other mods are installed, no hacks to files or themes.

When I click on my profile, I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare subscriptions() (previously declared in /path/to/public_html/community/Sources/Profile.php:2912) in /path/to/public_html/community/Sources/Profile.php on line 3084

I haven't looked at that line, but is this going to be an easy fix? Should I reinstall something? (It worked fine on my localhost machine at home; i'm not sure how differently it's configured compared to my webhost that I get the error on.)

Can someone tell me an easy way to add more flexible prices.
Primarily I want people to be able to select:
3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months or 24 Months

Either that or people can select the number of flexible months
they want to buy in an extra selection box.
I tried looking through the code myself but it's quite confusing.

I want to do this as alot of people dont like reoccuring payments.
I cant use fixed payments because if someone changes to an
increased topup period the subscriptions will overlap.

You can manually set a end date for all users (Like we did here) just by running a simple SQL query.
UPDATE smf_log_subscribed SET endData = 'DATE' WHERE ID_SUBSCRIBE = 'subscriptionID'

In other news I've updated this slightly to v0.10. I hope this fixes some PayPal and 2co.com issues - also adds sorting in the admin menu and adds a link in users profiles for the admin to add a subscription for a user. Thanks to NukeWorker and Shoeb for some of this. Note I still have some more bits todo on this - mainly add an option for reminders.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Jay - I'll update that now.

I don't understand the answer of overwriting the ipn.php file, is that the only think to upgrade??? I think I am missing the clue now... maybe I am too tired ;)

What would be causing this?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: maverickfl on September 11, 2006, 02:20:29 AM

one big problem with this mod is.. if you use your paypal account to recieve payments from elsewhere (otehr than jsut subscriptions), paypal will still use the ipn file... creating the error email saying "Unknown transaction type in ipn.php" since it doesn't have all the info required to continue (change membergroup, etc..)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Grudge I think this version finally fixed the Unknown Transaction type. Haven't received an email yet.

Here is a thought on a different subject beyond error reporting. I've been going at this issue a couple of different ways for my site, and I just thought it might work well with the Paid Subscriptions mod.

I'd like for it to be possible for certain Membergroups to be "public" so users can join them as a secondary Membergroup upon subscribing.

Can this be done?

the email required in the settings is your paypal login email. That is how it knows what paypal account to go to.

Apart from the paid subscription mods package installer...

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'E:\wamp\www\forum/Packages/temp/./paidsubsdb.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in E:\wamp\www\forum\Sources\Packages.php on line 534

Can u see how the slashes seem to start going in other direction..

Saw somthing about creating a temp folder so i tried doing that but it still doesnt install..

As you know ive used this mod many many tiems on linux without any problems...
So this must be an issue with how the mod deals windows paths maybe?

It also says (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') (THIS ISNT EVEN MY PHP LOCATION my php info is here http://www.h2kclan.com/info.php )

This doesnt just go for v10 it happens with v9 v8 v7

Right - I think something went wrong with v0.10 - I've uploaded v0.11 which should at least stop some of the SQL problems. I cannot understand the path problem - is the Packages directory certainly writable? You could bypass it by manually executing paidsubsdb.php by uploading it to your forum folder, adding "require('SSI.php');" to the top of it and running it.

Sorry - too little time :(

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: digit on September 24, 2006, 09:34:05 AM

yikes, do we need to completely uninstall v10?

I have been having a problem (since upgrading from v.9 to v10) where the accounts aren't being upgraded in the groups - all new subscribers are shown as "Payment Pending" in the Subscritpion area, but in their profiles, it shows the subscription as "Finished" I have to go in and manually change their group settings, and manually set the expiration date - I am not sure what went wrong in the upgrade - will v11 fix that? (or is something else going on?)

Thanks in advance.

This is one Mod I'd be willing AND able to pay for tech support on! ;)

I REALLY need to get my installation back up to 100%, like I said in an earlier post, after going from v.9 to v10, my group settings are not being updated, and all new subscribers are being put into Payment Pending - instead of how v.9 did it - - it automatically upgraded the accounts to Charter Member and set the subs as active.

Now I have to manually set the accounts when I get the PayPal email notifications. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the Mod. :P

Matt - if you have some time, please drop me a line, - I'd be willing to shoot you off a few bucks for your help - this is PROBABLY an easy fix...

This is a wonderful mod and I have used it since it became available without problems.

However, PAYPAL recently suspended my accounts and has decided to keep almost $5k for 180 days because they were "offended" by my content.

Other than PAYPAL, this mod is trageted for UK payment processors. I would love to see someone integrate U.S. payment processors into it. A U.S. version if you will with PAYPAL, ccBill, iBill in addition to the others.

I have the requirements for ccBill and have tried contacting Grudge without success. I have also put a call out for developers elsewhere on this board.

Anyone have any ideas or care to tackle this chore? I am willing to pay what is needed to make this happen

Grudge I found a bug. Where it says cost the sprintf doesn't work. Cost ($%1.2f)

You do NOT need to do that replacement. That is marked as "error=ignore" because it's to make the mod compatible with the "Development Edition" of SMF (Run here) which changes the way the admin center works - it's not needed for SMF 1.1.

Grudge,

My host changed the settings so now I'm getting the Package Manager working, but I still came up with a couple of errors at different stages trying to install Paid Subscriptions.

Can you check this topic out?

Any idea why?

Dang. With v0.13 I get:

Datebase error:
Duplicate column name 'allowPartial'
File: ../smf/Packages/temp/paidsubsdb.php
Line: 96

Ok so I'm still getting an error, but I really want to thank Matt & Jay for your support!

When someone has a moment, would you please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

EDIT: Resolved with v0.14.

Instaled fine no erros (just need to mod my custom theme files so it works with my custom theme) anyway I'm testing it out now but am confused by something... When setting up subscriptions I see this...

Email to Send upon Completion:
Where {NAME} is members name; {FORUM} is community name. Email subject should be on first line. Blank for no email notification.

Maybe I'm jusr being dumb but is this telling me how to set it up bec if so I'm just not following it with the whole {name} & {forum} things... So can someone please show me how this should be set up with sample text etc... Thx.

Edit : Has anyone looked into this bec after reading all 10 pages of this post "literally" i never once saw a reply to it... and lord knows none of us want it happening hehe. I'm just curious bec I use paypal for my ebay stuff and the las thing I want is error emails out the wazu... sure I could make a 2nd paypal account specifically for subs but dont want to if I dont have to hehe...

Quote from: maverickfl on September 11, 2006, 02:20:29 AM
one big problem with this mod is.. if you use your paypal account to recieve payments from elsewhere (otehr than jsut subscriptions), paypal will still use the ipn file... creating the error email saying "Unknown transaction type in ipn.php" since it doesn't have all the info required to continue (change membergroup, etc..)

SMF 1.1 RC3 - TP 0.9.5 (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php)

I just noticed this when playing around with my test account and my secondary paypal account...

Ok on the test name this is what the Paid / Current subs look like... wth is up with 1969 and the wrong time format for the ending dates as wel as the month being Dec. 31st lol... the starting times are right...

Also on the admin side of things it looks like this... why would it be pending if the payments were made... "it could be bec I didnt accept them on the paypal end"... meaning I had / have the option to accept / deny payments... not sure on that though without further testing...

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on October 26, 2006, 02:52:03 PM

Pardon my tone, but I've had a great deal of problems with mods since upgrading to 1.1 rc3.

I have a test account for my SMF and PayPal. I've subscribed twice to one of my subscriptions, and it still has yet to put my account into a Membergroup.

I get a confirmation email and this response upon successfully subscribing through PayPal:

QuotePayment Complete
Thank you for your payment. Once the transaction has been verified the subscription will be activated.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on October 26, 2006, 03:11:20 PM

And as someone suggests to upload the version .14, I tried, but my Package Manager won't install it.

I wasn't having any problems until I upgraded to 1.1 rc3, and everytime I think I get it all patched up something else goes wrong. :(

OK...finally got .14 installed. It's not adding anyone to Membergroups, but it is charging them. As I check my Paid Subscriptions through my Admin panel, it does show them as subscribers.

When installed as a normal user, I see the following when I check my Subscriptions:

Existing Subscriptions

Below is a list of all your current and previous subscriptions. To extend an existing subscription simply select it from the list above.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on October 27, 2006, 09:47:14 PM

Maybe the date issue is related to not adding to the membergroups.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

The other thing too is, as someone else noted, it shows the user as still having his payment pending.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on October 28, 2006, 02:27:26 AM

It all seems related to the date issue.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: digit on October 28, 2006, 07:15:22 AM

I'm getting the same problem, users accounts are not being upgraded, and new subscribers are listed as payment pending.

This might be related...

As an admin, if I look in a subscribed user's profile, and click on Paid Subscriptions, then I click on a subscription link, I pull up a form that - is supposed to anyway I would think... allow me to edit that subscribers subscription info. That form doesn't work at all for me. In order to edit ANY subscription, I need to go into the admin panel, click on Paid Subscriptions, find an account, and click on [edit]. I can not adjust a subscription through the profile "Paid Subscriptions" link.

I am running a heavily modified forum, so it's possible my issues are my fault - but it seems others here are having the same problems...

Any help would be most appreciated.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Has anyone had any luck? I have having the exact same error that the last few people are having. Just did a fresh install on 1.1 rc3. Install went smooth everything seemed fine.

Did a test sign up, no email is sent out, subscription shows up as payment pending every time so far. I activated IPN and input the url for ipn.php into paypal exactly how it said so I don't think it's that.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to get this mod working (also does anyone know if there's a similar mod available anywhere?) Thanks!

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on October 31, 2006, 06:00:58 PM

The problem is with the expiration date. That is what is messing everything else up. I looked into it but didn't get to far. I've been busy the past few days.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 01, 2006, 12:49:31 AM

It's a weird problem. PayPal is certainly recognizing it and transacting money. I have 6 test subscriptions running on the same user name (a penny a day). (I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul.)

In User's profile it shows the subscription as Finished. The same as I look at User's account from the Admin panel. It just doesn't add the user to the applicable Membergroup.

It has to be what is being written with the IPN, but in what direction, SMF to PayPal or back to SMF? Unless there were changes to the IPN program, the direction would "seem" obvious. "Seem"...as in, I really haven't clue, just relaying what I'm seeing on my end tonight. :)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: ms_ukyankee on November 01, 2006, 01:16:47 AM

I shouldn't put my two cents in because I haven't installed or looked at this yet, I'm just following the topic because I'm keen to use this mod when it's stable again, but I appreciate that mod authors give of their free time to work on these free mods for a free forum that some of us are getting paid for managing for clients..... thanks guys. :)

But it doesn't have to be what's written in the IPN, i'd be surprised if it was. My bet would be the mod just not picking up a correct date/time or calculating the subscription time properly.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 01, 2006, 01:27:36 AM

My point with the IPN is, if I'm not mistaken, that is what is directing the bounce back from PayPal. What we see in the Admin panel is via the IPN. It certainly comes from the mod originally, but payment information is going through just fine. I've had daily recurring payments for over a week with this version. It just doesn't complete the process after payment has been issued.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 01, 2006, 11:04:30 PM

I'm using PayPal, so I went back to the version I had working on 1.1 rc2, which was .09, and it's working just fine. I'm not sure what the differences are between version .09 and .14, but .09 is getting it done.

I get the same error email sent to my Admin account, but my User account sees everything just fine. It all shows up as it should in the Admin panel, and it added my User test account to the appropriate membergroup.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 01, 2006, 11:33:40 PM

Just testing version .11, it doesn't join the User to the appropriate Membergroup. That obviously continues through to version .14. Version .9 worked fine except for the odd error email that never caused it to not work in the past.

For the record, I had .9 in for awhile before upgrading SMF to rc3. It worked for over a week before I changed everything.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 02, 2006, 12:41:56 AM

Final thoughts before bed tonight.

.9 is working but I'm getting a boat load of emails to my Admin account. In going between versions .9 and .11 I was working on clean installs. One thing I didn't do was download the ipn.php file after installing it. I made a change to a version I had on my local drive, which was from .14. I uploaded it, and suddenly .9 wasn't working.

I think this is an ipn.php issue, but it could be a managePaid.php issue.

(Of course somewhere along the way, I managed to delete a couple of the menu items in my Membergroup menu. Not sure how that happened, but I fixed it. :) )

Any idea, relative to version .9, how to limit those emails? Luckily, my User test account just gets the one email saying he subscribed. I get two sets of 3 emails saying different things.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on November 02, 2006, 09:27:47 PM

Ok this seems to have fixed it for me. I'm still testing it out though. In subs/ipn.php

Code (find) Select


if (!empty($modSettings['paypal_email']) && (isset($_POST['txn_type']) || isset($_POST['payment_status'])) && ((isset($_POST['business']) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['business']) || (isset($_POST['receiver_email'])) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['receiver_email'])))

Code (replace) Select


if ((isset($_POST['txn_type']) || isset($_POST['payment_status'])) && isset($_POST['business']) && !empty($modSettings['paypal_email']) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['business'])

I at least managed to get 0.14 installed now by browsing the package server, and it looks like this time it's made the additions to the database... but looking through now, perhaps I need to revert back to v0.09 which is the last version I have.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 08, 2006, 08:52:12 PM

If you're using PayPal, I'd stick with .9 until they get the upgrades working. With .9, I'm getting double emails back to the my Admin account for my test account. It's a daily subscription so I get the emails everyday, but otherwise it's working like a charm.

BTW...the user just gets one, so he doesn't see anything looking like an error, and while it may be an error it's just sending two sets of email. Instead of holding the delete key down to delete two emails I have to delete four. :o

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: madfiddler on November 09, 2006, 09:23:19 PM

OK, I see the problem now. As well as the date problem I've got, V.14 doesn't add members to the subscription when they have paid. It has to be done totally by hand now. The only thing that is automated, is the email from paypal telling me someone has paid.

For me, support of getting this mod is starting to dwindle a bit. No disrespect to anyone, but it's taking a long time to get running. When we originally talked about this mod, we talked about contributing some cash towards getting this mod done (and considering it's a mod to help US make some cash - well why not). I think we should start talking about this again?

I'd be happy to put in $50 for this. Anyone else? Make it worth Grudge's time (although the one thing I would ask for is that once it is finished, support for updated SMF's is either included or added for a small fee). There have been over 800 downloads of the mod, say 10% paid - that's $4000.

The one thing which confuses me.. is how the subs mod appears to be working on the SMF site ok.. I just renewed my charter membership with no problems at all (from my side).

madfiddle the members are actually added before they pay. That is why the date is set to 1969 since there is no value for the endTime column. The problem is with the response from paypal. I'm logging all the subscriptions made and getting the info and see if I can dig deeper into this. Just been real busy with RL.

Not having a dig JayBachatero, just making a suggestion... OK, that explains it anyway :)

Just so you know.. I've always had a date problem since the word go. It used to be 1970 I believe, but now it appears to have the correct start date, but makes the end date the same date - and of course, it's not adding members to the subscribers list, or their membergroup.

Cheers,

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on November 10, 2006, 01:23:10 PM

madfiddler the way it works is like this.

User selects subscription to pay for -> ID_SUBSCRIBEm startDate and ID_MEMBER are added to the log_subscriptions table -> Then the member gets sent over to paypal to complete subscription -> Paypal then makes a call to ipn.php. On ipn.php it determines if its paypal or what ever other company is doing the paid subs. (this is where the unknown transaction error comes from). Then after the paypal class is initialized, ipn.php takes the response from paypal and determines if its a cancelation, new sub or recurring payment. After if finds out the response its supposed to add the endTime and the status. This is where it fails. So the data doesn't get added and leaves the endTime and status fields empty. Causing the sub to be shown as Finished and it expired on 1969.

Dunno if you're aware of this bug with .14 I turned an active subscriber into a finished subscriber.. That member then re-subscribed so I tried to edit his subscription to active again, and it wouldn't work. So then I tried to delete the member from the subscription, and that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

Any luck? As noted I've gone back to v.9 and it works, though I get extra emails to my Admin account and an "unknown transaction type". That's an IPN issue.

I set up donation/one time payment button and got the same emails. The money is going in, and it's joining users to groups.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Brad Jones on November 20, 2006, 01:06:03 PM

Just a head's up to people...

I'm using 0.9 and subscriptions were not getting added when using the Flex option but were with the Fixed option (subscription costs). The fix was to change a line in ipn.php.

Find:
if ($foundDuration != 0)

Replace:
if ($foundDuration !== 0)

This fix is applicable in 0.14 as well.

Edit:

This fixes the problem Jay described here...

Quote from: JayBachatero on November 03, 2006, 09:52:49 AM
Ok the problem seems to be related to flexible payments and a small problem on ipn.php. Let me see if I get it working.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 20, 2006, 01:12:36 PM

Brad,

In regards to v.14, does that change help the fixed subscriptions too?

I went back to v.9 and only need fixed subscriptions, so your issue doesn't directly relate to mine. However, I would like to keep up with the current version.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on November 20, 2006, 01:13:55 PM

I made the change to my file and see how it goes. I'm going to try and get some time and look into this again.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 20, 2006, 01:34:15 PM

As far as fixed payments go in v.14, it doesn't fix the problem of adding the Member to a Membergroup or a Subscription, at least as it's handled by SMF.

I get notification from PayPal that it receives payment, but it doesn't write back to SMF accordingly.

Worked excellent for me until Paypal canceled my accounts and kept the funds. Now it is worthless until I can find someone to write another gateway to work with my new payment processor

PayPal doesn't just take someones account without reason... you most likely did something where your account ended up looking suspicious... Ive been with paypal for over 6 years and havent had any problems aside from buyers reversing payments from time to time...

Yeah, they claim violation of the AUP, but in the opinion of a couple of attorney's who are members of my forum, my forums are only borderline to the AUP.

I have been with PAYPAL since the inception. What gets me about them, after losing a multi million dollar class action suit against them, they paid and continue business as usual. Just side note to the thread. Decisions at Paypal are made by one person and according to the, no subject to appeal. Nice way to run a business

The only link for this in the admin center is =>Paid Subscriptions:

QuoteMember Controls
Edit Membergroups
Edit Permissions
Registration Management
View/Delete Members
Set Reserved Names
Email Your Members
Ban Members
Paid Subscriptions

The only thing I can do is add subscriptions. Which I did.
There is no links for modifying users subscriptions or viewing subscribed users and the other things I'm supposed to be able to do.
Also the subscription I created, doesn't even show anywhere for the members, not even in the profile which is where I *think* its supposed to show.

I'm running SMF 1.0.9
Any help with this would be appreciated as I really want to get this working :)

yes, I can click it, but the only thing I can do is create subscriptions, but the 'View Subscriptions | Settings' isn't there. I was only able to set the currency by accessing the settings by putting in the address(...?action=paidsubscribe;sa=settings) into the address bar.

What Theme are you using? If you're not using the Default theme, you will likely have to copy the new entries on modifications.english.php.

Answer that first, and if you need more help let me know. I've had to do this as I'm not using the Default theme.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: SRaven on November 29, 2006, 10:58:01 PM

I am using the default theme(for now)...well, its now the default theme after installing enigma 2. but I checked the files in it and everythng copied into where it should have.
I will be changing to a different theme once I figure out how to do it and not lose all the modifications that the portal and packages have already made...but those problems if they arise will be in a different thread :P lol

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 29, 2006, 11:02:54 PM

The Default theme isn't the one you have set as default. It's the one in the Default folder on your server space, and likely your hard drive.

It sounds like to me you're missing the language changes, and as it installs it will show up as installing correctly but it's possibly going into a folder you're not really using.

This theme's URL: .../Themes/default

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 29, 2006, 11:26:54 PM

Jumpman,

The link to v.9 is within this very topic. Start at the first page and work your through the first couple of pages. I want to say it was on page four, but it's there. I found it that way on my own.

SRaven,

Not sure what to say other than to say the issues you're having aren't the same ones most of us are having. You're using SMF 1.09. It doesn't look like this Mod's current version works with that version of SMF. If it installed cleanly, I can't imagine what it would be other than the language files.

Are you sure the theme you're using, the Enigma theme, is originating from the Default folder on your server space????

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: SRaven on November 29, 2006, 11:31:40 PM

Pretty sure...thats what the URL says its going anyway. Is there different way to check it to make sure?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 29, 2006, 11:46:18 PM

My default theme is the SafMC theme, but it's not THE Default theme--the one that sits within the 'default' folder in Themes. Best I can tell you is backup all your Theme and Sources files on your hard drive.

From there:
Go to the files on your server space where the Enigma theme is. I would download all the files from that folder to your hard drive.

Once that is done, check the Themes/enigma (or whatever it is called)/languages/modification.english.php file. Look for the following:

Code Select


// Paid Subscriptions Mod
$txt['paid_subscriptions'] = 'Paid Subscriptions';
$txt['subscriptions'] = 'Subscriptions';
$txt['subscription'] = 'Subscription';
$txt['paid_subs_desc'] = 'Below is a list of all the subscriptions which are available on this forum.';
$txt['paid_subs_none'] = 'There are currently no paid subscriptions available!';

$txt['paid_current'] = 'Existing Subscriptions';

You should also have a file in that same folder called ManagePaid.english.php.

Here is a question for you:
On your server space, what folders/directories are in your Themes folder? I have default, safmc101, and classic.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: SRaven on November 29, 2006, 11:59:54 PM

Right now I'm using THE default theme. The one that goes to the default theme folder.

the themes in my themes folder are classic, classic_e1, default and SMF_default.

I know that I'm using THE default theme because when I try using any of the other three, I get this at the bottom of my page:
Sorry, the copyright must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of LSP!

even though I haven't taken any copyrights out of anything. And the only one that doesn't do that is the theme in the default folder.

edit: I checked those files in the default languages folder and yes, they are there. And the modification.english.php file has been modified with the subscriptions modifications.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on November 30, 2006, 12:05:35 AM

That's all I have then. :(

I think it may have something to do with the version of SMF you're using, 1.09 if I'm not mistaken.

Have to say a special thanks to Jay here - he did a fantastic job of tracking the bugs and helping me test out the fixes as they came about! I think the things fixed are:
1) Undefined text index on one of the edit pages.
2) Invalid text formatting on the subscription ediiting for (£%1.2f etc)
3) Inability to users to renew subscription
4) Pending users were accidently described as "Finished"
5) PayPal did not work at all after v0.9 of the mod thanks to a silly typo.
6) Fixed "Flexible" subscriptions not working at all either(!)
7) A few formatting changes.

I'm using RC3 and the changes that the paidsubs_admin_v0.9(yes its still says v0.9 even though its from the v0.15 download) says to make in sources/Admin.php can't be done!

This is what it says to find:

Code Select

<![CDATA[
                if (allowedTo('manage_bans'))
                        $context['admin_areas']['members']['areas']['ban'] = array($txt['ban_title'], 'ManageBans.php', 'Ban');

to add this before it:

Code Select

<![CDATA[
                if (allowedTo('admin_forum'))
                        $context['admin_areas']['members']['areas']['paidsubscribe'] = array($txt['paid_subscriptions'], 'ManagePaid.php', 'ManagePaidSubscriptions');

The problem is, there is no such line in Amin.php for it to add that other line before it!
So nothing gets added to Admin.php :(

3> This one may be fixed, but I'll ask. The last person who re-subscribed, had the payment go through but the only thing that changed was the Finish date for them. IT got changed to the day he made the re-subscription. Before re-subscription 11/05/2006 after, 12/03/2006, where it should have gone to 01/31/2007

Well if they don't then it means its a problem on your end. If they do then there is still a bug:p. Either way is not good.

Yeah - if it's my end, it's more difficult to solve. However, I am happy open up my server for you, if it does end up being a problem my end. Only via PM or email though.

This may be the same problem I have. If you go to the admin subscriptions page, what does it say about this members payment? Active? Pending? etc...

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: hbixler03 on December 07, 2006, 09:31:29 AM

I have the version 0.14, and the pacakge thing tells me it is the latest version.

I don't seem to have a page that tells me whether the subscription is pending etc., unless I am looking in the worng spot, where should I look to find this?

Thanks for any help!

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: hbixler03 on December 07, 2006, 09:34:16 AM

Ok I see, it says I have 0 in all spots and in all the subscription options I have. Which is not the case because I did receive payment yesterday for one, and it went through just fine. How can I fix this?

You need to upgrade to 0.15.

Have I found the problem???

Going through the error logs on my forum, and ipn.php has come up as a missing file.

The directory mine is in is Subs, however in package-info.xml the directory is subs (no capitals).

Should I change this?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: madfiddler on December 21, 2006, 08:36:19 AM

Ha - on top of that I notice that the files in Subs are all old dates... So my guess is that an old version used Subs as a directory name, that got changes to subs and every install since, the files haven't copied into the directory? In which has, why didn't the package manage tell me it wouldn't be able to copy some files across.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on December 21, 2006, 09:23:57 AM

The dir name supposed to be subs. The files are not supposed to be in the Sources dir.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: madfiddler on December 21, 2006, 09:28:15 AM

..didn't say it was in the Sources directory.. I have a directory called Subs, not subs.. I'm trying to test this now...

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on December 21, 2006, 09:29:53 AM

Well it should be subs. In linux case matters.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: madfiddler on December 21, 2006, 09:44:32 AM

Yep, that's my thinking, and hence my problems.. Just guessing that a really old version of the mod had "Subs" as the directory..

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: madfiddler on December 21, 2006, 09:46:19 AM

Here's another question.. Why is it, that the mod forces people to pay via eCheque with paypal rather than using money in their account. I'm talking about US'ers mainly. I take payment in ££. This never used to be a problem. Perhaps it's a change in the way PayPal do things?

I've just updated the mod, but really to make it work with the Development Edition. I did however find a bug which meant the mod was not keeping a members primary group when they took up a subscription. By this I mean if I'm an administrator and take a subscription it didn't add "Administrator" to the additional groups so I lost that power. I've fixed this.

I think I've also updated it such that the problem Madfiddler got should never happen again.

I haven't had time to look at the other bits at the moment I'm afraid.

I just installed the latest paid subscriptions mod to my SMF 1.1.1 - it installed properly, I set it up using paypal - but where do users go to sign up for paid subscriptions? The only thing I found close to where sign up SHOULD be is: http://redbarradio.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=subscriptions

But it says " There are currently no paid subscriptions available!" - I made sure that my paid subscription was indeed active. I've spent hours double checking settings to make sure everything was activated.

Any ideas?

I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like when a user tries to view subscriptions.

Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=413)
Note for paypal to work you need to setup your account to direct your IPN to this script. To do this login to paypal, click "Profile" and then select the "IPN" link from merchant tools. Enter the URL of your forum, and then the subs/ipn.php. For example:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/subs/ipn.php

This is required for paypal to notify the forum that the payment was received.

The IPN link will not be required if you modify 'ManagePaid.template.php' and add the folllowing line in the template_choose_payment() function:

Quote
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="', $boardurl, '/subs/ipn.php">

immediatlely before the line:

Quote
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;sa=subscriptions;u=', $context['member']['id'], ';sub_id=', $context['sub']['id'], ';done" />

You will also need to add '$boardurl' to the globals declaration for the template_choose_payment() function.

Doing this also has the added benefit of allowing you to use multiple ipn's for multiple forums using a single PayPal account.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: gasman on January 07, 2007, 10:15:23 PM

I have one bug report (and fix suggestion) and 2 questions:

1. The mod should modify index.template.php to include paidsubscribe in the list of admin current_actions:

Quote
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin', 'ban', 'boardrecount', 'cleanperms', 'detailedversion', 'dumpdb', 'featuresettings', 'featuresettings2', 'findmember', 'maintain', 'manageattachments', 'manageboards', 'managecalendar', 'managesearch', 'membergroups', 'modlog', 'news', 'optimizetables', 'packageget', 'packages', 'paidsubscribe', 'permissions', 'pgdownload', 'postsettings', 'regcenter', 'repairboards', 'reports', 'serversettings', 'serversettings2', 'smileys', 'viewErrorLog', 'viewmembers')))
$current_action = 'admin';

This is just a cosmetic fix to keep the admin tab active in the menu when accessing the paid subscriptions option.

2. If I activate my Paypal IPN function for this subscription, what happens to my Paypal payments that come from non-forum sources (eg ebay sales). Does such a payment also get sent to the forum for verification, and does this cause problems? Would the following addition to the script avoid this problem by getting the forum to send the IPN link each time.

Code Select

<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="', $boardurl, '/subs/ipn.php">

3. I noted that you fixed the mod so that by becoming a subscriber, your administrator status is retained. Does this also apply to moderators? Do moderators stay as moderators if they subscribe? Or do I need to adjust this manually for each moderator?

cheers
Rob

This is a message for those who have read everything above and think this mod may be too full of bugs. It isn't, as far as I can tell.

I have installed this mod on SMF 1.1.1. Installation went smoothly and all seems to be working fine. I am using Paypal only. I have about 7 subscribers so far, 6 are active, set to renew monthly, dates are correct. One is pending while waiting for an echeck to clear. Reports are clear and accurate.

Great mod!

PS I have done a slight hack of index.template.php to make members' subscriptions a tab in the main menu and therefor more prominent and easy to access. See website in sig.

Why does it require the site owner to change their IPN.

You could instead use.

Code Select Expand
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://yourdomain.com/path/to/your/ipn.php">

Which means the owner can use more than one IPN.

Would you consider making this change?

My only other question (besides the IPN one) is why 1 month is not 1 month ;)
1 month started January 30 @ 4:04 PM, ended March 2 at 2:33 AM.

It's probably doing 30 days... Which is a month if you want to be technical..

I really don't think a mod like this is gonna count a calendar. But it will days.. ;D

Why shouldn't it use a calendar?

Regardless, it starts at 4PM and ends at 2AM... even if it's 3 days, that's not right ;)

okay i have the package installed everything works as it should except that after they pay the status isnt updated from pending to active. I put the ipn url in the paypal return url spot and set it to active. .. any thoughts?

i know with my os commerce site i didnt need to use a url it did it automatically and it works great.

the adding the couple lines to the manage.template.php has me confused i looked throught that whole php and didnt find the line that they are refereing to. so i dont know where to add it.. if that seems to be my problem.. i cant figure it out .. for now as my member base is low its not too big of a problem.. but when the numbers increase im not going to want to manually process all the subscriptions...

Post by: wk38 on February 07, 2007, 10:53:47 AM

I'll have to check when I get home tonight. I managed to get things backed out to the point where the package manager is working again.

Here's the strange thing with this mod. When I install it asks me for my ftp user id and password but always says it's incorrect when it isn't. It won't accept my ftp login. I know without a doubt my login is correct. Why is it needing to use ftp when my other mods that i have installed don't?

I hope there is a solution because I need subscription capabilities in the worst way for smf. I have a chance to partner up with someone that could make a nice profit for my site but I can't unless I have paid subscripton capabilities.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: drhamad on February 07, 2007, 11:02:22 AM

Because your file permissions are wrong, so it's trying to use FTP instead (or alternatively, because it's adding entire files... I forget if it does this or not).

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Anything it needs to edit should be 0777 to be sure.

This particular mod and my host don't like each other apparently. I have three sites running all using the same host and can't install on any of them. I have a test site setup on a different host and it installs fine. Still don't get it, I've installed all kinds of mods on my other sits with never a problem.

How do I know what files it needs to edit?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: drhamad on February 07, 2007, 11:54:17 AM

If you want to do the overkill method, you could just CHMOD 0777 the entire SMF directory (and all files and folders within).

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: wk38 on February 07, 2007, 05:47:07 PM

I ended up recreating the temp dir inside the package directory, setting it to 777 and it finally installed.

Next... the mod installed fine with no errors but no trace of the mod in SMF. Nothing in admin and nothing in cp.

What next??

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. On my test site..different host but the same ver of SMF, TP, theme, etc. I can install and uninstall at will, everything works perfect. On my live site I can't make it work to save my life. I changed everything to 777 and it still asks me for my ftp login which it won't take even thought it's correct. I finally did something to get it to install and it's not showing up in smf at all. ??? ???

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

I reverted back to the default theme. It keeps bringing up the dialog box asking me for my ftp id and password and then won't take it. Even if I mod everything on the site to 777 is still say's it doesn't have write permission to some files.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

I'm not sure if this has been covered, but it might be something that the mod doesn't take into consideration.

What if there are two different subscriptions that both put the member in the same group? When one expires, does it correctly keep the member in the groups from the second subscription even though the first one is over?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Stumpy on February 16, 2007, 03:07:24 PM

The mod "works" in the sense that (at least for me) it does indeed redirect to Paypal, let the user make the donation, and informs the calling website of the transaction. The trouble I'm having is with the expiration date - I guess that the folks here and on other sites have figured out how to get around that.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: wk38 on February 16, 2007, 04:38:46 PM

also when a subscription is up..i cant delete the user from the list... any suggestions on that one?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Stumpy on February 17, 2007, 10:01:10 PM

Possible fix (at least for me) on the expiration date issue. Note that I have not tried this yet, but if someone knows more about php than me and can tell me if I'm on the right track, I'd appreciate it.

In about line 800 of ManagePaid.php, Grudge sets $duration (for a year) as 31556926, which appears to be pretty close to the number of seconds in a year.

In line 920 for a simple subscription addition, he's got "$endTime = time() + $duration;"

At least in my very simple testing, which involved printing the current time and then attempting to add seconds to it, I kept getting errors when I tried to print "time() + $duration;"

After playing around a bit, I was able to get it to do it by setting $endTime = time(), then setting $duration = 31556926, and finally setting $endTime += $duration.

Since the time equivalent of 31556926 is somewhere around January 1, 1971, it appears that that's the number that was getting entered AS the endTime, rather than incrementing the endTime.

Again, I'm a complete NOOB at PHP and Grudge appears to be a monster, so this might be totally wrong or it might have something to do with the version of PHP one is using....and I'm so new at this that I don't even know how to tell you what version I'm on.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

I've updated my mod today so it will *hopefully* fix the subscriptions problem (i.e. renewable ones were not renewing)

However - I can't replicate the date problem - it works fine on this site where I have it installed. Could someone set out in very simple instructions how to replicate the date (After trying to updated version).

Paid Subscriptions v 0.17

Getting system email that states:

I haven't gotten any emails from anyone, but I'm still having the problem where the payment is going through but nothing is happening in my database. This just started yesterday or the day before.

Post by: madfiddler on February 21, 2007, 07:58:21 PM

One thing to check with the 1970 date error, which was the cause of mine. I started checking through the code, and discovered that the "subs" directory on my server was in fact called "Subs" which I believe was the cause of my situation. The mod is working swimingly now.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Sarke on February 21, 2007, 08:38:29 PM

I'd like to see a "range" mode, where members can choose to pay based on a range instead of a fixed number. E.g. if the range is $10 to $40, they can pay $15 if they wish. This would mostly be for donations, so they can donate more if they wish.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Stumpy on February 22, 2007, 10:58:59 AM

Set up a bunch of subscriptions in $5 increments and put people in different groups based on what they donate - that way you can shame people into giving you more. ;)

I'm still getting date errors, but it's almost random now. I had a test come back with Jan 1, 2004 (on a 1-year subscription) yesterday. The only constant is that it's always January 1.

I'm still working with the older version - I was under the impression that your newer one only made changes to the renewable aspect, which I'm not using. I was going to upgrade to the newer one, but when I attempted to uninstall the other one I was getting the errors message (I've added about 5 mods after yours), so I didn't bother. If you think it'll make a difference, I'll try installing it manually.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: wm on February 25, 2007, 01:49:56 PM

So what actually happens when a subscription expires?

From looking at the member's profile, I see that the primary group has been changed to something that displays as "New Forum Member". This is not a group that I created, and it does not show up in the MemberGroups list. Where does it come from, and how can I use it to control what the member can see?

I also notice that the member still has access to all of the additional groups. Looks like I've got some work to do!

William

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: madfiddler on February 25, 2007, 02:11:33 PM

The member gets put back in the general membergroup, based on their post count. Don't know where your New Forum Member group is coming from.

One problem with this is, that my subscribers get a larger PM box, when their subs expire, normally their PM box is too full then to receive PMs..

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: wm on February 25, 2007, 02:18:01 PM

Ah, that helps. "New Forum Member" is a post count based group I created, and the member I am using for testing has made no posts.

Apparently it keeps track of what the primary group was - when the member is re-activated the primary group is reset to what it was.

I need to figure out how to block access to the rest of the groups...

Thanks!

Yes, Categories, or actually Boards. I have multiple MemberGroups that control access to different Boards. When a member is qualified for access to an area (telescope checkout, for example) the admin gives them access by adding them to the MemberGroup.

When a member's sub expires, they should not have access to any of the Boards, until they renew. Right now they only lose access to the Boards they get with their Primary Group.

So far it's installed and I have made the changes in paypal.

If I click "enable paid subscriptions" and "enable test mode" it will not automatically apply this to all boards, correct? I assume it will apply it to a board only if I choose that board. Thanks.

Anybody know anything about this? I wanted to work on this today.
But if it adds a subscription button to every board, then it would shake things up. Can this be applied to one board?

Thanks I did see that. I'm in the process of trying to give it a test run. I'm not all that familiar with the sandbox but I guess I have to set up a test e-mail. So far so good.

Updated to v0.18 to fix a problem with renewing subscriptions.

I cannot duplicate the 1970 problem. Can you confirm that you defintely have the case of the subs folder setup right in PayPal? If so can you post an extract from your log_subscribed table?

Hey, Grudge.

I'm still having the date problem and I've confirmed that the case of "subs" is correct everywhere. I've been manually changing the end dates on all of the subscribers so far - I assume you want an extract for the log_subscribers with one that hasn't been manually corrected?

What issues does v0.18 address?

I thought I had already uninstalled .15 before I uploaded the .18 upgrade, but hadn't. So after uploading the .18 upgrade, I'd get the following message when trying to click on any type of "profile" link:

Quote
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare subscriptions() (previously declared in /home/username/public_html/mydomain/Sources/Profile.php:2910) in /home/username/public_html/mydomain/Sources/Profile.php on line 3083

So I went in and first uninstalled, then deleted 1.8 and 1.5...but I still show Paid Subscriptions as fully functional in the Admin panel, and after putting in a test subscription, everything went through just fine.

So even though Paid Subscriptions does NOT show up as one of my installed packages, it is still there, and functioning (seemingly) fine. But if I try to re-install either 1.5 or 1.8, I get the same fatal error listed above.

I'm an idiot - can someone tell me how to fix the situation so I can show Paid Subscriptions as an installed package and not get the error?

Make sure that you have added the modifications amnually to the theme you are using. installing the mod only modifies the default theme. so, if you are using a different theme, you need to make the modifications to the themes you are using yourself.
The 'Paid subscriptions' tab not showing might indicate that Modifications.english.php for your theme has not been modified.

Hi Sraven,
Thanks for that heads up. I am using default6. The last test, was on a SMF install straight from Fantastico via Cpanel. perhaps i will blow this one away and do it manually, thisd may be worth a try.
I checked, there is an over-write of the Modifications.english.php, with backup, and is 777.
man, this truly is odd, and very sad, i so badly ned this to work =(

TYhanks for your interest, i know how hard it is to offer suggestions when U can't see the server.

Post by: SerjTech on April 06, 2007, 05:56:16 AM

I have just installed this mod and it works just as I want but have two questions I hope someone can answer.

1) Is there anyway to alter the mod/code so you can set up a subscription group where the users can pick how much they want to pay per month/year, ie they go to paid subscriptions in their profile and theres a place there to enter $ per month etc. Then that amount is passed to paypal for payment or is this too much work?

2) I want the script to handle my subscriptions/features on my website which our users pay for to use. What I want to do is the ability to add my own php code to the script so when a payment/subscription is taken my own code is run and adds them to other databases on other parts of my site and when their subscription ends they get removed via my code.

I have all the code to do the adding/removing from my features but where is the best place to place this code in this mod?

I thought of adding the add to feature code into the paypal IPN file so when the payment is confirmed by paypal the user gets emailed the payment details and then I run my code to add them to other databases. Would you recommend this?

Also where best place to handle removing user from feature at end of subscription?

Hope someone can help me and thanks for taking the time to read this

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: spottedhog on April 09, 2007, 08:24:19 PM

I had that problem......

The problem appears to be that some webhosts, like Servage, have some kind of Apache code put in so that any files named "temp" are not created or allowed permissions to allow files to be extracted to it.

A workaround is to open the Sources/Packages.php file, and replace /Packages/temp/ with: /Packages/tmp/ or something similar.

Hope this helps......

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

2. What is the current feature list/description?

3. What I want to do with a mod is have users above a certain level of posting enabled to share a revenue pool - so I want to pay my "subscribers." Can you tell me if this modification can do this (share out a pool of money amongst all subscribers?) Can I tell it how much to share at each level? I.e., can member group 1 get 50%, member group 2 15% and member group 3 10%?

Thanks!

When trying to install this mod I get the following error:
Fatal error: packageinstall() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\forum/Packages/temp/./paidsubsdb.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\xampp\htdocs\forum\Sources\Packages.php on line 552

I've tried with a completely clean install of 1.1.2.
Tried changing php from 5.x to 4.x

Nothing works.

After it gives that error I'm no longer able to install or uninstall any other mod. Gives me the following error:
"You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!"
But everything is writeable, believe me.

Any ideas?

i have a question..

i have a group called ASM (annual supporting members) and i just spear headed my asm mafia .. basically a group within the asm group to help police the forum and such.. without extra privies just that they are kinda there to mediate.. but i want to have a special logo for them different from the asm logo that i have now.

I have setup a seperate membergroup "asm mafia"

so when a member is inducted into the mafia i put thier name in that member group and make that group thier primary group. However i want thier paid subscription to still end a year from when they started and if they are in this new group (based off of the asm group) its not a paid subscription.. is there a way to link the new group to the original asm group so that when thier asm subscription is up or not renewed that it will bump them from the asm mafia group as well?

I have read through this entire thread and didn't find the answer to this question. Nonetheless I apologize if it's already been answered or is just blindingly obvious. ;)

I simply wanted to make sure that - as is my understanding - when a user subscribes to a group, when their subscription ends they will be moved back to their old group, not just "member". In other words if I have created a custom group "Helper" and assigned it as a primary group for a user, then that user subscribes to a group called "Registered" for 1 month and this is done for their primary member group, when their subscription expires do they go back to being "Helper" as primary group? And while they are subscribed do they maintain "Helper" status through the use of additional groups, or is the status of the primary group lost for subscriptions that rely on this? I know Administrators are supposed to be able to subscribe and not lose their status, ut does this apply to everyone?

Thanks.

Hmm i installed this mod and here are some questions

I dint get any email from my forum about the payment
The user is not transfered into the usergroup and he is not even pending
Its like nothing happended

But i do get email from paypal and i have to find that user and add him manually into the right subscription.

Does this have something to do with recurring payment ?

I'm pretty sure i got the ipn thing right.. so what can cause this ??

Any help would be appreciated

Edit: Okey it did had something to do with recurring payments.. if the user unchecks this box the payment will go thru on the forum.. but the end date is wrong and the status is pending..

Quote from: Stumpy on February 17, 2007, 10:01:10 PM
Possible fix (at least for me) on the expiration date issue. Note that I have not tried this yet, but if someone knows more about php than me and can tell me if I'm on the right track, I'd appreciate it.

In about line 800 of ManagePaid.php, Grudge sets $duration (for a year) as 31556926, which appears to be pretty close to the number of seconds in a year.

In line 920 for a simple subscription addition, he's got "$endTime = time() + $duration;"

At least in my very simple testing, which involved printing the current time and then attempting to add seconds to it, I kept getting errors when I tried to print "time() + $duration;"

After playing around a bit, I was able to get it to do it by setting $endTime = time(), then setting $duration = 31556926, and finally setting $endTime += $duration.

Since the time equivalent of 31556926 is somewhere around January 1, 1971, it appears that that's the number that was getting entered AS the endTime, rather than incrementing the endTime.

Again, I'm a complete NOOB at PHP and Grudge appears to be a monster, so this might be totally wrong or it might have something to do with the version of PHP one is using....and I'm so new at this that I don't even know how to tell you what version I'm on.

Will this do the trick ? Did somebody actually test this solution ?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Ryan on May 10, 2007, 01:15:24 PM

Hi tanks, its cool bro your right this pending issue with the date backdated to the 1970's happens to allot of people but in earlier versions this actually did do the dates correct but something went wrong, i dunno if it was that i upgraded php version that this made a difference but this would explain why this happens for some people and not others...
Grudge has issues getting this problem to happen to him to actually fix it i believe.

Lets hope that stuff you have looked into may give grudge a lil head start to finding a fix for this issue, as im sure this is the 1 major problem that has casued so much bad feedback for this mod.

But this def sounds like a php version glitch all i know is i am using the latest php 5 rc version
And this mod really is the best mod on SMF by far even with the problems i get i still love it.

Hi all,

I have this up and seems to be running fine if I use USD as the currency. The problem I have is that I cant select GBP from the dropdown menu and get it to work. Once selected and saved, I go into view subscriptions in the admin and I get the message: -

An Error Has Occurred!
You have not setup your currency yet. Please do so from the settings menu before continuing

I think that the issue may be in the drop down currency selector, see attached image - it shows: -

USD ($)
GBP (?)
EURO (?)

...using question marks instead of the currency symbols?

Can anyone help, if I can solve this then I'm up and running ;)

To fix the 1970 issue you just replace one of the existing currencies with your own. If you are trying to use another currency then the problem occurs.

You only need to change the currency code in the language files. For instance - change all sentences that uses GPB with ex. NOK (norwegian kroners) and all £ symbols with ex. Kr. (norwegian symbol for kroners).

Then it will work perfectly and the 1970 issue goes away.

Hi!

Thanks Grudge for this great mod

I have a problem with this mod.
I have the smf forum integrated with joomla via the bridge so when i change the language in joomla, it change also on the forum.
The two languages available are french and english. I use Joomfish.
I have no problem with english but in french the link "paid subscriptiosn" disappears.
I try to edit the file Modifications.french-utf8.php and add and translate the following :

Quote<?php
// Version: 1.1; Modifications

// Paid Subscriptions Mod
$txt['paid_subscriptions'] = 'Paid Subscriptions';
$txt['subscriptions'] = 'Subscriptions';
$txt['subscription'] = 'Subscription';
$txt['paid_subs_desc'] = 'Below is a list of all the subscriptions which are available on this forum.';
$txt['paid_subs_none'] = 'There are currently no paid subscriptions available!';

$txt['paid_current'] = 'Existing Subscriptions';

// Some errors.
$txt['paypal_could_not_connect'] = 'Could not connect to paypal server';
$txt['paypal_unverified_subject'] = 'Unverified Paypal Transaction';
$txt['paypal_unverified_body'] = 'A user attempted to add a paid subscription to your forum, but the transaction was unverified.';
$txt['paid_sub_not_active'] = 'That subscription is not taking any new users!';
$txt['paid_disabled'] = 'Paid subscriptions are currently disabled!';
$txt['worldpay_password_wrong'] = 'Payment ignored as WorldPay password is incorrect - please ensure you have the correct callback password set.';
$txt['2co_password_wrong'] = 'Payment ignored as 2co.com secret word is incorrect - please ensure you have the correct secret word and 2co.com ID set.';
$txt['paid_unknown_transaction_type'] = 'Unknown transaction type in ipn.php';
$txt['paid_missing_transaction_type'] = 'Cannot find transaction file %s.php';
$txt['paid_empty_member'] = 'Paid subscription handler could not recover member ID';
$txt['paid_could_not_find_member'] = 'Paid subscription handler could not find member with ID: %d';
$txt['paid_count_not_find_subscription'] = 'Paid subscription handler could not find subscription for member ID: %1$s, subscription ID: %2$s';
$txt['nochex_could_not_connect'] = 'Could not connect to nochex server';
$txt['nochex_unauthorised_subject'] = 'Unauthorised nochex Transaction';
$txt['nochex_unauthorised_body'] = 'A user attempted to add a paid subscription to your forum, but the transaction was rejected.';
?>

But that didn t work - I try also with a file named simply Modifications.french.php but it didn't work neither.

Anyone have a idea on what's going on ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi tanks, its cool bro your right this pending issue with the date backdated to the 1970's happens to allot of people but in earlier versions this actually did do the dates correct but something went wrong, i dunno if it was that i upgraded php version that this made a difference but this would explain why this happens for some people and not others...
Grudge has issues getting this problem to happen to him to actually fix it i believe.

Lets hope that stuff you have looked into may give grudge a lil head start to finding a fix for this issue, as im sure this is the 1 major problem that has casued so much bad feedback for this mod.

But this def sounds like a php version glitch all i know is i am using the latest php 5 rc version
And this mod really is the best mod on SMF by far even with the problems i get i still love it.
Just having to manualy change all subscription heh.

It's been awhile since following this topic, and this isn't why I'm back here reading it. There was a very simple change the file that communicated between PayPal and SMF--the ipn.php file. I can't remember what it was, but it was something ridiculously simple.

It was like an extra & somewhere needed to be put in place.

I may have even posted on here about it. I'll look and get back here.

BTW...I'm here to second the request that the link in the Profile isn't being installed with the package. Anyone figure that out?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on June 01, 2007, 04:57:34 PM

Ok...as usual, I'm doing the whole trial and error thing:

Regarding the Profile issue, I think it shows up ONLY after you set it up. All I know is I didn't have a Subscription link in my Profile, but once I set up the subs, it was there.

Also, using v.18, the ending date issue isn't a problem right now.

I thought I had already uninstalled .15 before I uploaded the .18 upgrade, but hadn't. So after uploading the .18 upgrade, I'd get the following message when trying to click on any type of "profile" link:

Quote
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare subscriptions() (previously declared in /home/username/public_html/mydomain/Sources/Profile.php:2910) in /home/username/public_html/mydomain/Sources/Profile.php on line 3083

So I went in and first uninstalled, then deleted 1.8 and 1.5...but I still show Paid Subscriptions as fully functional in the Admin panel, and after putting in a test subscription, everything went through just fine.

So even though Paid Subscriptions does NOT show up as one of my installed packages, it is still there, and functioning (seemingly) fine. But if I try to re-install either 1.5 or 1.8, I get the same fatal error listed above.

I'm an idiot - can someone tell me how to fix the situation so I can show Paid Subscriptions as an installed package and not get the error?

Possibly relevant info with attempted .18 install:

14.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php    Test successful

I got this for you WebWorm...

It's printing the entirety of function subscriptions($memID) without deleting it on the previous uninstall.

First of all, back up Sources/Profile.php (call it something else)
Download from your server Sources/Profile.php

Find function subscriptions($memID)

You should find two of them. I deleted the first of the two functions (all of the code contained in the function), which looks to be about 170 lines.

I assumed the second one printed was the one for v.18.

That cleared it up for me.

Post by: Tanks on June 03, 2007, 02:03:52 PM

Biggest problem for me is not that it makes the date wrong.. i can handle that.. i just put it straight myself.. no the biggest problem is that if the user dosnt uncheck the recurring payment (wich is on by default?) then nothing is sent back to smf.. so only my mailbox will tell me if somebody paid some money.. and if they dont use the same email for paypal as they use on my forum then all i can do is wait for them to PM me about why they didnt change usergroup now that they paid..

Any help to fix this issue ? Maybe a trick to make "Recurring Payment" Unchecked by default.. wich it really should be if you ask me :)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

I just noticed that every time the member dont uncheck "Recurring Payments" the forum act like nothing happend.. and only the email from paypal will let me know that i have been paid :/

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Jim R on June 04, 2007, 07:53:07 AM

My fault I misunderstood. I'm testing .18 right now, and it's working just fine for using recurring payments. That includes emails.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Tanks on June 04, 2007, 10:28:51 AM

I am using the same and it does not work fine ! Now again i ask if somebody can help me uncheck recurring payments by default.. this cant be that har to do can it really ??

Edit: I found the solution to uncheck the box :)

Checked is a boolean property; it is either true or false. In
Javascript (or in HTML), if you set checked="anything", it is true. To
*not* have the button/box checked, you just don't add the checked
attribute at all.

So now i will only get the problem if people check the box :D

QuoteHi all,

I have this up and seems to be running fine if I use USD as the currency. The problem I have is that I cant select GBP from the dropdown menu and get it to work. Once selected and saved, I go into view subscriptions in the admin and I get the message: -

An Error Has Occurred!
You have not setup your currency yet. Please do so from the settings menu before continuing

I think that the issue may be in the drop down currency selector, see attached image - it shows: -

USD ($)
GBP (?)
EURO (?)

...using question marks instead of the currency symbols?

Can anyone help, if I can solve this then I'm up and running ;)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: BCTech on June 12, 2007, 07:18:26 PM

Would anyone else be interested in adding functionality to control by membergroup what subscriptions are visible/available?

An example of why this is useful: if you have members who have been on your site a long time and so you want to give them a discount on pay services, you can check if they belong to a certain post-count group and then only allow them to see the discounted purchase link if they have a certain number of posts. This also allows you to use the subscriptions system for general member group expiration. Your mods can have access to assigning people a subscription that is not visible to the general public. Use this with $0 cost to assign special time-based permissions to anyone.

For my purposes such an adjustment would be extremely useful. It would be nice to have a bunch of check boxes to set which membergroups can access, but a simple text field with comma separated member group names or even ID #'s would be fine too. As long as I can control visibility/access to each subscription individually by member group I'll be one happy camper!

I am willing to pay to have this implemented. I have been unable to get ahold of the original developer (Grudge) to see if he has time to do it. Any other coders who are interested please contact me directly to discuss the adjustments.

cant you just put charter members in agroup based on posts??

like when people get charter on my site, i put them in the charter group, this giving them more access..

just make a discounted price based on posts..

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: BCTech on June 13, 2007, 12:29:29 PM

The problem is that everyone can see *all* subscriptions at *all* times. So if you want to provide a discounted price to anyone it can't be through the regular subscription system, otherwise everyone would have access. The whole idea of this change would be to control who can see and sign up to each subscription.

The 1970's problem,

I had this problem, and it was an error in the subs/ipn.php file, I have attached a version of the file which works for me, a diff of the fixed and original files shows these differences,

Code Select

< if ((isset($_POST['txn_type']) || isset($_POST['payment_status'])) && !empty($modSettings['paypal_email']) && ((isset($_POST['business']) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['business']) || (isset($_POST['receiver_email']) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['receiver_email'])))
---
> if (!empty($modSettings['paypal_email']) && (isset($_POST['txn_type']) || isset($_POST['payment_status'])) && ((isset($_POST['business']) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['business']) || (isset($_POST['receiver_email'])) && $modSettings['paypal_email'] == $_POST['receiver_email'])))

<               if ($foundDuration !== 0)
---
>               if ($foundDuration != 0)

It looks like the file has been fixed in the latest version of the mod.

Dan,
I tried your fix... but it's not working... now I'm not getting any notifications in the forum about payment (just getting the email from pay pal).

Thanks for the try tho!

Using the latest mod - .18 ... using smf 1.1.3 with TP latest version as well... on a custom theme (scribbles 1 - latest version) ...

Was getting that same issue as mentioned by others ... the 1970's date issue as well as "pending" altho payment went thru and cleared (according to pay pal).

Don't know much about php coding and all... anyone find a good fix for this other than Dan's try??

it's ok... I TOTALLY appreciate the try... was really hoping this would fix it!  Now just gotta go back in and upload the original file and see where to go from there (at least I get the notification that they subbed and can edit manually the date to end and what not).

Someone else had said that they had found a fix at one point that was really simple, like a missing & sign somewhere or something.  Of course I wish this was easier...LOL... I sooo want this to work!  I see that the TP site has this running (or something like it perhaps)... so I KNOW it can be done... I too will eventually learn php coding!  LOL!

OK... if you didn't notice yet, I don't know a whole lot here... one question and maybe this is stupid.. but...

Looking at the ipn file... I don't see any refrence to send the information back to paypal... I DO see the information in the paypal.php file.

How does the paypal.php get set into action? I don't see any refrences to set it into action from the ipn file... so just wondering if pay pal is actually getting the ipn info sent back to them.

When I first installed this, I had the whole date and pending payment status issue... I attempted replacing the ipn.php file... and next thing is I am getting NOTHING (just an email from pay pal, nothing adds or changes in smf). Strange, cuz it looks like this ipn.php file is same as Grudge's... I've tried replacing it, no luck... I've tried uninstalling, deleting, reinstalling... and NOW I am having that previously mentioned error about the profiles (if I leave it as "uninstalled" it still shows up... can purchase from profile... receive email from paypal... but no updates to smf)...

Anyone? Suggestions? I'm going to look into the version of php I have running... using godaddy if that helps until I get an answer on that one.

Well, I've read the whole thread, and have a couple of (prolly) stupid questions:

- What link do you use to ask people to subscribe? I have a subscription box on my main site, and would like to direct people there, rather than only have it in the profile of each user.

- Is is supposed to automatically pick up those *already* in the paid group, or must they be added manually?

- Does the mod automatically created repeating subscriptions, or is there a box for that somewhere? Just making sure, I didn't see anything and wasn't sure.

I've got it installed on my 1.1.2 forum, and it installed cleanly, all forms came up and the tables have been created. I'm just fine tuning now.

Great mod, Grudge!!!!

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: meadwench on July 05, 2007, 12:27:46 PM

OK, answering my own post (and a couple more questions)

- I am manually entering my current subs
- The link used to post for your subscriptions can be found by copying the link in the profile, taking out the user data, and using that.

OK, questions:

- How do I figure out start and remaining time for existing subscribers that I am adding manually? I see the time on my latest subscriber expressed as:
startTime: 1170644100 endTime: 1202180100

I realize that this is expressed as seconds or something, but don't know how to do it for subs that began last October, or in April. What is the base number that is being used?

If you're using the default template, it will be under the Members section of the main Admin menu.

If it doesn't show up, I would uninstall and then re-install the mod, because it shows up automatically.

Well check this http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=413 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=413) , i don't see version 1.1.3 supported anywhere. So i believe you will have to downgrade your forum to 1.1.2.

ok, i will try that now...

EDIT: No, still nothing.... check this out, it is strange, this is the way when it is unistalled:

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: meadwench on July 11, 2007, 01:26:54 PM

The link is there, but for whatever reason, your /Themes/default/languages/index.english.php didn't get updated with the new links. That is why it is showing blank.

Did you get any warnings when you installed it? If not, then you'll need to unzip the subscriptions package, open up the install file and find the info that needs to be added to index.english.php.

The other alternative is to completely uninstall the package and then re-install, paying attention to any warnings.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: jaeca on July 11, 2007, 01:34:00 PM

No, I didn't get any warnings at all. I created the sub and temp directory as described in previous post. And everything checked out to be fine when installing and after installing. I'm just missing the link. Like the screen caps posted in 3-4 previous posts before me. There is a space there between Registratrion and Ban Users.

If I were to edit the index.english, what would I need to edit? I'm in a custom theme, should I copy out the index.english over?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: meadwench on July 11, 2007, 01:55:57 PM

That's the problem, you're in a custom theme. You need to manually modify all files in your custom theme that are changed in the default theme.

You want to make sure there is a file called ManagePaid.english.php in your languages file for your theme. That is the text for this package, and it is contained in the tar file for the package. You might also look in your default them languages directory for a copy of, if you've already installed.

It sounds like you didn't make all the manual changes needed to be made. I'd go through it step by step. I can't help you with that, I use a modified default theme, so it created automatically for me.

Odd. even in the default theme, its not showing up. =)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: jaeca on July 11, 2007, 02:13:49 PM

Yes! I got it working.

I just merged the language files together and it worked. Copied the files required in the default template over, except that in custom template, my language file for modification.english.php already has stuff in it.

Just have to merge the two and upload, and you'll get paid subscription on the left hand side!

For those who need it, thats the solution! and it works flawlessly now

oh its me again. One problem solved, now another...

I want to allow a certain membergroup (consist of 2-3 board members) to be able to "add" the subscription to the users account... instead of using the administrator.

Or could you set multiple administrators?

sigh, i think i answered my own question. you could set multiple admins.

hmm, could you duplicate the admin level? so they dont send out newsletters to me? when im the webmasdter.

Wait, now i am totally lost...
Jaeca, you said above that you created some sub and temp directories. Where did you create them, and what should be in them. Could you please describe step-by-step which files have you modified and where have you uploaded them and for which template, please. Thank you.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: jaeca on July 12, 2007, 09:38:33 AM

ok. I'm using a custom template that was built by a friend taht wasnt based off the default one, its one of those fresh nothing in it ones.

So you have uploaded the patch into the server, but you haven't installed it.

For example sakes, we use http://www.abc.com/forum/ as your directory of your forum

We use an FTP, and create a folder called "subs" in the main directory of your forum.. (/forum/subs)

Than we create another directory called "temp" in the Packages directory. (/forum/Packages/temp) ... don't ask why that needs to be created but than it gets deleted automatically after.

So now, we install the module in the administration. So you would see:

Code Select


1. Extract File ./Sources/ManagePaid.php  
2. Extract File ./Themes/default/ManagePaid.template.php  
3. Extract File ./Themes/default/languages/ManagePaid.english.php  
4. Extract File ./subs/ipn.php  
5. Extract File ./subs/worldpay.php  
6. Extract File ./subs/paypal.php  
7. Extract File ./subs/nochex.php  
8. Extract File ./subs/2co.php  
9. Extract File ./subs/authorize.php  
10. Execute Code paidsubsdb.php  
11. Execute Modification ./index.php Test successful 
12. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs.php Test successful 
13. Execute Modification ./Sources/Profile.php Test successful 
14. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Test successful

From there, you know all the /Themes/default/* files are all copied into the default theme directory and those are the files you would need to make it work. (we'll do this in a later step)

So now, we hit install. It should be successful, but than you probably don't see the Paid Subscriptions link between Registration and Ban List.

That's fine! It installed, thats the key.

Next, taking an FTP, go in and download the following:

/Themes/default/ManagePaid.template.php
/Themes/default/languages/ManagePaid.english.php
/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Upload those files according to the directory structure back into your template. BUT! Don't upload the Modifications.english.php yet!

Rename it to like Modifications.english2.php or something, download the Modifications.english.php within your Themes/YOURTHEME/languages/

Now, pretty much you need a little knowledge of coding, just compare the two, and merge them into one file.

Upload that file, and you should be able to see "Paid Subscriptions".

Yay!

Now, we might not be done, because some of you have tried to install this file multiple times, it actually wrote to the "Profile.php" in the /Sources/ directory so when viewing a profile, you might get an unexpected error.

So what you have to do is go open up the Profile.php, and chances are there would be a duplication of subscriptions() lines, or subscriptions. And there would be multiple "Now for the real subscription" comments, well, you have to search and compare, and delete the ones that are duplicated. Some have told me that deleting the first subscription duplication solved it already, but I deleted it all.

So do a CTRL+F (Find) and look for "Subscriptions". If they have 2 lines that are identical, remove one of them. BUT please make a backup before you do this incase you screw something up.

That's it!

Enjoys!

I guess that i couldn't make something wrong if i repeated it 3 times... Anyway, thanks for your detailed guide, it will probably be of use to someone else. By the way i downloaded few templates from smf site and not a single one of them didn't have Modifications.english.php?

Hi
I am trying to install this mod and is having problems with it. The install shows successfully completed. But i cannot see the option admin panel. on looking at the log, there is the error message it gives:

Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: paid_subscriptions

Line 2806 is:

I am using SMF 1.13 and the latest version of this mod.

Can anyone help ?

Sorry for the formatting, but my copy paste messed this up, I fugure these points will make it easier for others to do this install:

0) Backed up my DB

1) Went to the package manager and copied in the URL of the
paid subscriptions mod...didn't work, got this error:
The package manager currently allows only these file types:
zip, tgz, tar.gz.

2) Dowloaded paidsubs_v0.18.tar.gz from
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=413

Why? Because it looks to me that SMF 1.1.2 with the mod version
18 is the most "stable."

3) Package uploaded successfully
Package has been downloaded successfully

Paid Subscriptions    [ Apply Mod ] [ List Files ]

...makes me laugh...both upload and download are successful!

4) Clicked Apply
--filled in my login info automatically and asked me for my
PSWD, which I typed in and pressed (I can't remember the name
of the button) Submit or something

5) This screen came up:
Apply Mod
Please remember to always make regular backups of your sources
and database before installing mods, especially beta versions.
Installation Readme
This modification is currently in beta - do not use it unless
you are sure you know what you are doing!
This modification will add the ability to charge users a
subscription to join a membergroup for a defined period of
time.

Currently this only works with paypal, and maybe
worldpay/authorize.net. To install simply run the modification
and then enable the mod from the Settings tab in "Paid
Subscriptions" from the admin center.

Note for paypal to work you need to setup your account to
direct your IPN to this script. To do this login to paypal,
click "Profile" and then select the "IPN" link from merchant
tools. Enter the URL of your forum, and then the subs/ipn.php.

For example:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/subs/ipn.php
This is required for paypal to notify the forum that the
payment was received.

10a) Do I search for documentation?
10b) Do I just set up my currency as the error message requests
and see what happens?

hmmm....

10.c.1) Searched for "subscription mod documentation" and found
this:

didn't find anything...

...so I'll go with the 27-page behemoth and just set my
currency according to the error...

11) Clicked "Settings" under "Paid Subscriptions"

12) Clicked "here" in the sentence

"You can edit the link for paypal directly, by clicking here."
12a) was prompted to log in to my paypal account and I clicked,

I think it was "edit," I'm not hitting the back button on my

entered my PayPal email address.

14) Clicked save and although the screen blinked, it looks like
nothing happened. There is no confirmatoin screen. I'll see
what I can see...

15) When I click on "Members | Paid Subscriptions" I get "You
haven't set up any subscriptions yet."

16) Now I need to figure out how to a) get a PayPal button that
puts members into a specific group on the forum (or in some
other way allows me to separate the paid folks from the
non-paying folks).

17) Clicked "add subscription" just to see what I could see...

18) Have to stop for now, because I need to take care of my
baby daughter for a while...

So, #16 is open for me, and I started reading this thread from
p.1, but I've got to go for now.

OPEN QUESTION:
Now what do I do? I'd like to have a button that asks users to
pay (in this case it will be $1.50), and then they need to have
access to a particular board, or need to be a part of a
group...or whatever so I can separate the paid content from the
unpaid content. Ideally, the $1,50 would buy them access for
one year, which would then expire and maybe even give me
notification options for the email that would be sent to the
"now" member in one year.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Dainis on July 19, 2007, 10:49:24 AM

Well...things were going so well. I just bought a subscription from myself to test, and I just set things up in Paypal in a way I thought was logical.

I've tried letting PayPal create the username and password, and although the payment goes through, the subscriber does not get a username or password in the payment email.

I tried doing it without the username and password, thinking that the subscriber would be allowed to subscribe somehow, and that I would designate such subscribers as being part of a specific group. Such payments also go through, but alas... I have no info as to how to make the subscription work for the subscriber in SMF.

Also, although I turned IPN on in paypal, even though I made the above 2 payments, I don't see any subscribers in "Paid Subscriptions | View Subscriptions"

Anyone have instructions for how to set up the PayPal buttons so that they communicate with SMF properly once the Paid Subscriptions mod is installed and working?

Best,
Dainis

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: spottedhog on July 25, 2007, 08:32:24 AM

Dainis,

You will need to create a membergroup and forum board, and assign the forum board permissions for access only by that membergroup.

Once you set up a payment system, you activate it, and in the User Profile, near the bottom of the left side, Subscription or something like that will pop up.

What I have done is installed the User Control Panel Mod and create a new link within it, including a big dollar sign graphic. If you use this method, your instructions could go under the Dollar Sign in the USER CP, but you may also need to leave a news item or something.....

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Dainis on July 25, 2007, 01:36:59 PM

I created a category called "Charter Member Area." I also added a board within that category for the paid info. I created a membergroup called "Charter Members."

I don't know what to do from here.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Ipn file is in the correct directory, paypal are getting the money. Just like there is no talk back, if i do it manually it works. Ie if i go into someones account and select a donation for them and fill it in, there group is changed. I never tested it using sandbox method? , would that make a difference?

I've already paid myself through PayPal twice. I click on the buy now button, pay, and nothing happens in the forum.

a) Do I need to do anything else in my SMF configuration?
b) What's the user procedure?

For example, do users already need to be members, and then they pay, and then they get access to a specific board/category?

I've already set up a Category with a board in it that only "Charter Members" have access to, but I don't know how to get the paid subscriptions people into "Charter Members" ::).

Post by: FrailWords on July 29, 2007, 03:22:26 AM

First thing, I'd like to thank you for the development of this package. Was considering purchasing aMemberPro, which would have set me back over $100 to handle this, and I believe that your mod is going to handle what I need it to. So I really appreciate it.

Anyway, I got a couple of errors tonight that I'm wondering if you could enlighten me on. The mod e-mailed me this (actually, there were two of them, three minutes apart):

QuoteAn error occured whilst attempting to do a paid subscription. The error is shown below:
---------------------------------------------
Unknown transaction type in ipn.php

When I go and check the forum error log, I get:

QuoteGuest Today at 01:16:36 AM
IP address 66.xxx.xxx.66 bbaf3517dd73660c47f37e44e6b7024e
URL http://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.com/index.php
Unknown transaction type in ipn.php

The way I have my forum set up (this is actually a sub-domain of my main forum, but is a paid section), a user registers and gets assigned to a special membergroup called "Restricted - Not Paid". The only thing that user group can do is now see a banner (it's the only membergroup that CAN see the banner) asking them to sign up. Clicking on this takes them to the signup page and everything continues as planned.

I have been using the mod for about a week and haven't had a problem one that I haven't been able to iron out. In fact, from start to finish, it was pretty simple and didn't have too many wrinkles. So congratulations on that.

So what do you think caused the error? What puzzles me is that it's showing it as a guest, but a guest can't even get to the signup page.

I did have one thought: my PayPal account is fairly active, and I use it for a number of things other than the forum. Since I have turned on my IPN, does that mean that every single transaction that comes through on it, even if it didn't originate from my forum, shoots something to the forum, thus causing an error, and if so, is there anyway to filter that on the PayPal side? Just wondering since this is the first time I've used IPN.

Thanks in advance for the help.

As Always,
Frail

GIFT subscriptions... the ability for members to pay for others paid subscriptions. Personally, I think it's a great idea, and could use it right away :)

I have had this mod installed for quite some time and it IS AWESOME. I am sorry to hear some people are having troubles installing it! I wish I could help, but I am not an expert php programmer.... yet.

digit,

Bugger - that whole operation *should* be ignored. I wonder whether it was a bug fixed in RC3? You can hit continue if that's the only problem - that file is only there to let it install on the development edition (i.e. SMF after 1.1)

I can't find any reference to this issue here.

In the db table smf_log_subscribed, the vendor_ref field is blank on all except 4 early records (not the first). There seems to be no way to link a payment with a PP id.

I have been running this mod for months and it seems to work fine (PP only) except for this, and I don't think any reminders are ever sent.

Anyone solved this?

grudge, thank you for a great mod - this has worked flawlessly for me from install, and has saved me tons of headache and manual work.

I have a question, maybe someone can answer this - is there any way to include a "Comments" field on the PP screen through this mod, or is this something that has to be done on the PayPal end? In Profile, under the "Payment Receiving Preferences" I have this:

Display "Add Instructions to Seller" text input field:
X Yes
No

With the "Yes" selected, but there no such text input field appears to those paying for subscriptions.

Dammit, now I have real problems... shoulda just left it on 0.16 ;)
This happens when you click on Paid Subs in your profile:
Quote

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: () in /home/mazda3/public_html/Sources/Profile.php on line 2947

2947 is the $request line:
Code Select Expand
// Load all subscriptions $request = $smfFunc['db_query']('', " SELECT id_subscribe, name, description, cost, length, active, repeatable FROM {$db_prefix}subscriptions", __FILE__, __LINE__); $context['subscriptions'] = array(); while ($row = $smfFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request))

Ideas please?

Huh. I installed 0.18, set up my Paypal account and my email address, created a subscription and everything worked out of the box. I've had no problems with it.

Could you tell me what else is around the edits to Admin.php? I have code missing there, I believe, and perhaps that's the error... though I doubt it.

Interesting. Because they can't subscribe unless they're registered, and so far about 70% of my subscribers go through with no issues at all. So I'm at a loss why the ones that are using a Paypal addy that is different are getting errors.

The code around line 213 in ipn.php reads:

Code Select

	if (!empty($modSettings['paid_email']))
		paidAdminEmail($txt['paid_error_subject'], $txt['paid_error_body'] . "\n" . 	"---------------------------------------------\n" . $text);

So it looks like it *is* pulling the email from Paypal, and if that email is different than the email they registered with, it will return an error. What I don't know is how to alter this so it looks for the registered email......

I'd suggest completely removing the version of Paid Subs you're using now, and try a clean re-install. I know it works, so there must be something you missed in installing. Are you doing a manual install?

Yeah, I was manually going from 0.16 to 0.18.
I *know* I'm missing the code that goes in Admin.php, because I can't find where it goes - if you have a chance, any chance you could show me a bunch of the code before or after it?

Still, it's strange that a function isn't defined...

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: meadwench on August 14, 2007, 03:15:33 PM

The code says:

Code Select

<search for>
		if (allowedTo('manage_bans'))
			$context['admin_areas']['members']['areas']['ban'] = array($txt['ban_title'], 'ManageBans.php', 'Ban');
</search for>

<add after>
		if (allowedTo('admin_forum'))
			$context['admin_areas']['members']['areas']['paidsubscribe'] = array($txt['paid_subscriptions'], 'ManagePaid.php', 'ManagePaidSubscriptions');
</add after>

So I'd look for that.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

ok I just grep'd it, found the paidsubs line (from v0.16) in Subs.php, not Admin.php, although it isn't exactly the same. Doesn't make much sense. I grep'd it, and the only place allowedTo('manage_bans') is is in Subs.php, not in Admin.php

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: meadwench on August 14, 2007, 03:34:03 PM

The 2 files in the mod that have the file modifications are paidsubs_v0.16.mod, and paidsubs_v0.16DE.mod. That is where I found that info. The first file doesn't modify admin.php, and the second file does.

My understanding is that the DE file is the one we should be using for v1.1, no?

Also: I just looked through the 0.16 (non-DE) file - I think this will solve my undefined function problem too. But now I'm confused, I thought DE was the one to use... which one is which? What is the difference?

however the prob i have is after testing with sandbox the user name i used to test with did not get the account upgraded auto...is this because sandbox does not upgrade accounts on the forums? and if so will it auto upgrade when live?

this question may have been asked on here already but thats alot of pages to read
any help please

Does anyone have any idea how to disable auto-renewing for subscriptions that have already selected it? We've changed paypal accounts, but those who've selected auto-renew options aren't directed to the new PP account, but to the old one, and that's no good.

Another question...

Will I be able to go in and set up my existing paid subscribers? I have about 300 paid subscribers already with various end dates on their existing subscription. If this was going to be "a solution" that would automatically handle this... I'd have no problem at all creating the 300+ custom changes.

Is it possible to use this mod with more than one site? I notice that I have to set an IPN return URL, and I think PayPal only lets me pick one url for all payments/subscriptions.

update: it does look like IPN supports the "notify_url" parameter in the subscription request...perhaps a good mod to this code is to let us define in the SMF interface the URL to use...otherwise, from within paypal, I can only define one return url.

Look on page 30 of the IPN pdf from PayPal's site.

Just downloaded this MOD and tried to install via package manager.

filling out the ftp username/password and got this error message

i didnt put the path in, the path address just appeared itself. I'm fairly sure the path itself is correct but no idea why it wont work

what am i doing wrong?

Path is relative when using ftp.
so if you should try "/XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX.com/smf" as the path since your initial login is the /home/username directory.

Hello Grudge,

I have installed your Mod on SMF 1.1.3. I think it's all ok ok, but the menu link on Profile user page appears only on my profile (as Administrator) and not on the other ones (of other registered users): why?

Did I miss some settings?

In addition, if I try to subscribe by my Profile page, the system doesn't work (I'd like to test if the system works).

Thank you for your reply.

I decided against using this as it was more trouble than it's worth.

Now that PayPal handles subscriptions I just dropped a button on my site for this and do the subscription part.

hi mclane,

But how did you make the subscription part? I would like to assign some permissions to view some parts of my forum under payment. Is this the same necessity as yours?

If yes, where did you locate your Paypal button?

We do it manually... PayPal's new subscription feature will update you when people either pay or don't pay.

Hi Guys Great Mod By The Way

I was having a few problems with this mod and the XD-Nova theme. when paid sub and paid sub in your admin and profile were not showing up. How i resovled this issue was with the Mod.index.php of the xd-nova theme. i just replaced the xd-nova theme mod.index.php, with the default one and bingo problem sovled.

i know this is very simple to do but i thought i might want to post this for the people who struggle installing mods ;)

Post by: RichardYabut on October 03, 2007, 12:17:52 PM

Alright.. after a few hours repeating problems and such. here's whats happening to this and answers to those looking.

1. If you don't have the paid subscriptions in your profile. It means you didn't install it properly. Try again or install it manually. The Install Needs FTP access as well if anything. You're better off attempting to install it manually if the package installer failed.

2. If you get this error " Unknown transaction type in ipn.php " with paypal - This is due to the fact that you didn't use your MAIN paypal account email address to the Settings in the Paid Subscription for Paypal. Paypal throws the Main Account Email back to IPN.php - if it doesn't match - that error shows up.

3. Now the date issue.. I couldn't figure out how to fix this... but... i was able to see what it was NOT doing. The $Endtime field in mysql is not getting updated ... SMF throws all the other fields to Mysql but the Endtime field. Maybe Grudge or someone can tell me where to go to FORCE the mod to send the endtime to mysql?

Environment:

SMF: 1.1.4
SUBS: latest one : .18?
MqSql: 5.0
PHP : 5
OS: Linux

Thanks in advance!

Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=413)

This modification is currently in beta - do not use it unless you are sure you know what you are doing!

This modification will add the ability to charge users a subscription to join a membergroup for a defined period of time.

Currently this only works with paypal, and maybe worldpay/authorize.net. To install simply run the modification and then enable the mod from the Settings tab in "Paid Subscriptions" from the admin center.

Note for paypal to work you need to setup your account to direct your IPN to this script. To do this login to paypal, click "Profile" and then select the "IPN" link from merchant tools. Enter the URL of your forum, and then the subs/ipn.php. For example:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/subs/ipn.php

This is required for paypal to notify the forum that the payment was received.

Ehi Grudge,

compliment for your Mod...but it works only with US $ (even if I select EUR or other currencies): why?

I can't select currencies other than US $, but I would like the system to work with Euros too or other currencies too !

capabmx... No egold in this version.

Grudge...

Since you first released this mod have you now added in support for the notify_url variable so one doesnt have to use setting at paypal? I have another OLD script that uses that setting at paypal .

Paypal lets you now add into the button / subscription code the notify_url variable to tell paypal where to post back to. It by passes the url setting at paypal.

Next question is will the user be downgraded if their subscription doesnt renew because of failed payment and when it attempts to bill them again and is successful will it upgrade them back?

Richard Wing

QuoteAn error occured whilst attempting to do a paid subscription. The error is shown below:

apparently, it keeps happening when a subscription is ordered or renewed. Consequently, I have to manually update their subscription or add them to the subscription list manually. Before I upgraded to 1.1.4, this didn' t happen, it worked flawlessly.

Any ideas? upgrades?

Guys, Grudge has been good enough to take on an important role in the making of the core of SMF and has offered his mods to be taken over as he no longer has time to support them...so far they have not been (or at least I don't know of any that have) thus this mod is essentially unsupported and is not being updated.

			AND status = 2", __FILE__, __LINE__);

and replace with

Code Select


	$request = db_query("
		SELECT ls.ID_SUBSCRIBE, ls.OLD_ID_GROUP
		FROM {$db_prefix}log_subscribed AS ls
		WHERE ls.ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER
			", __FILE__, __LINE__);

If this shouldnt be done, maybe one of the experts on this mod can help out.

G'day Guys,

I also had problems with the End Date coming up as 1970, don't know what the cause was but it only happened to people using 'other' as currency code. someone said change one of the already made currencies to whatever it is you want. I still had problems with this but if you go into the db and in the settings table find currency_code and change it there it will work fine. I'm using AUD with no problems now.

Cheers

Hello,

I have a problem, here is my set up;

- Forums: http://www.fencecheck.com/forums
- No default membergroup
- Upon subscription member is put in "Subscriber" membergroup
- Created a button in upper right to subscription section

Problem
- Default member does not have access to subscription page, looks like something to do with permissions, but the permissions don't show any subscription settings

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Does anybody know whether can potential subscribers to my service sign up for my forum and at the same time paying their subscription through the subscription mod for paypal? or is it sign up forum first, login to forum, then pay for subscription?

I am trying to install this mod on a test SMF (1.1.4) installed on my XAMPP localhost. I'm running into trouble here when it needs the FTP information. See attached screenshot.

SMF doesn't seem to be able to find the right directory via the FileZilla FTP services incorporated in XAMPP. Can I upload the mod to my live site, apply the mod thru the FTP/CHMOD process, then download the mod back to my test site and apply it? Or...... any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Roy

Try changing permissions on the package folder and creating a temp folder in that. Both should have permissions of 777. It should install then.

In Admin, click on calendar, there is a min and max value there, which is what this mod uses, example:

Sorry, I'm sure this has been posted somewhere but I can't seem to find it. How do you get it to work on 1.1.4? Is there a way to edit the .mod file or something to make it think that it is compatible with 1.1.4. I will back up my database just in case but could someone tell me how to make the mod think it can be installed even on 1.1.4?

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. You don't have to modify anything, I just assumed that since it is for older versions, it won't let you use it on 1.1.4. I guess it will!

This is a great MOD! I'm so happy to see it. Thanks to Grudge and all the others who are helping with it.

However, I am hoping that later versions will add a way for us to manually add members to a subscription, because not all my subscribers may be able pay by credit card or Paypal. Most may just have to pay me manually. So it would be great if there is a manual addition of subscribers, and still be reminded when each subscription is about to expire.

Also, it would be great if people can subscribe at the registration page itself. Or at least have a subscribed membergroup at the registration page, like a one month or one day free subscription, and then later they could just subscribe to a longer term.

Good luck to Grudge and all the SMF developers!

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Tony Reid on January 24, 2008, 06:36:47 AM

Well... you can manually add them - go into the users profile and add the subscription.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Rafferty on January 28, 2008, 04:35:39 AM

Firstly many seem to have had trouble installing as I. For myself, I ended up manually installing for 1.1.4. Only version that would work was 0.15, others did not at all.

2. The only available currencies are US, GBP & EURO. Other currencies are required (Australian for myself)
3. I receive Fatal Error: Call to undefined function: subscriptions() in /home/www/16airdefence.org/forum/Sources/Profile.php on line 365 when member clicks on Subscriptions. Been unable to fix this. Still trying.

More to come as I play with it.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on January 28, 2008, 03:25:18 PM

#3 is tied to #1. Maybe you missed something on the manual install.
#2 - Need to see if other gateways support Australian currency and others.

there are 4 uninstalls in that photo, if it truely is a clean install you wouldn't have that, you should only see the paid sub mod listed. check your package folder via ftp and remove everthing, then upload a clean package folder from a freshly downloaded install, check to confirm no packages are listed, then upload the paid sub mod.

When I try to apply the mod in package manager I get

"FTP Information Required - Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable."

I chmod all the files in the .mod file to 666, and have even gone as far as to chmod the files in the install as 666 also just to see if that was where the error was...

I saw a similar issue, with 1 suggestion to change /Packages/tmp/ to /Packages/temp/ or similar, un the /Sources/Packages.php file, which i tried with no success, I have not seen a solution, though I admit I did not read every last page of the thread either...

What you are saying is your chmod'ed the files of the Paid Sub. Mod. What this error is maybe saying to you is that the Packagemanager folder or the package.list file of your SMF install needs to be set to 777 or 755 on some servers. But maybe I misread your intentions...

/Index.php
/Source/Admin.php
/Source/Profile.php
/Source/Subs.php
/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Also, I have CHMOD'd the following (both 755 and 777 for testing)

/Packages/ (folder)
/Packages/paidsubs_v0.18/ (folder)
/Packages/paidsubs_v0.18/{all files} (every file in this folder - about 18 files)

After all of this testing, i still get the error about FTP information required, and when i try and fill out the ftp information form provided, it just refrehses to the same screen with no result.

I have also tried to use the Options tab on the Packages menu link, and change it to ALL FILES WRITABLE, it brings me to a FTP info needed form also, and when i insert info, it just refreshes with no result

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: spottedhog on February 15, 2008, 02:41:40 PM

Did you see a file named "installed.list" That one also needs to be 777. You only need to have the Packages folder set to 777 and the installed.list file set to 777. Anything else in there is for storage only.

As a last resort, you could do a manual install of the Mod. This is what I normally do because my webhost tends to put clamps down so tight the Package Manager does not work. :(

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Kender on February 15, 2008, 02:59:53 PM

I tried CHMODing the package.list as well, same result

thanks for the idea, and the help, the folder was already set to 777

the package manager worked for every other mod except for felblog, which i am waiting on support for on their site (sql error there), and i installed several mods already, just this one is giving issue.

If i manually install, will it give me uninstall options, or pretend to still be uninstalled under package manager and list the apply mod link ?

Hello all. I've been using this mod for some time and it works really well. The only problem is that I'm getting a large number of error reports like these:

8: Undefined index: paid_subscriptions
File: /homepages/7/xxxxxxxx/htdocs/forum/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2894

or:

8: Undefined index: paid_current
File: /homepages/7/xxxxxxxxx/htdocs/forum/Themes/default/languages/ManagePaid.english.php (eval?)
Line: 712

I'm using it with the ApolloBB theme. I've altered a couple of things to show the subscriptions button but, in this theme, I cannot see the Paid Subscriptions tab in the admin area though there is a space for it. It is visible in the default theme so is there something I need to add to the ApolloBB theme to see it in the admin area?

Any ideas?

I thought there was a setting somewhere when someone signed up for a "paid subscription" you had the option for them to then have a certain member group listed under their name in posts, like premium member or something. But, i can't find any such setting. I do have a Member group called Premium Member but don't know how to get subscribers to then be added to this group once they subscribe or are subscribed manually.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

[UPDATE] Maybe I know the answer to this. I'm an admin on my site, as well as a premium member. So, Administrator shows under my name as that's my primary membergroup. If my primary wasn't an admin, would it then display Premium Member instead?

Sorry if this has been address but, I have recently tried to delete a user that was Finished, I have a lot of them. It will not allow you to do this.

I found out if you take a finished and turn it into a Active and THEN delete it removes them. Is this an oversite?
Or something that needs fixed? Seems to me that you shouldn't be able to cancel an ACTIVE or Pending but finished should be game.

Just make a special membergroup with the permissions and assign that group to the user when they pay.

I think it could be a bug and was reported for SMF 2 with the built-in paid subscriptions. The subscription system is a modified version of this one so you could apply a similar fix keeping in mind that the database call format changed.

I dont remember this being mentioned in here yet, sorry if it has...

If somebody pays a subscription for 1 month and they then renew the subscription 2 days before the current one ends, does the mod add the extra days to the new subscription?

I have just installed this on 1.1.4 and seems to be ok but havent tested the above yet ;)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: JayBachatero on April 04, 2008, 11:53:31 AM

Yes. The mod adds the new subscription on top of the current time left. So if you want to renew a month early you can do that and still have that month left.

Ok, I am having a problem with getting this to work on my board;

Using; smf 1.1.4, Mystic Jade theme, TP 9.x

I have set up IPN on my PayPal account, for the URL of my board:
http://sitename.com/subs/ipn.php
(It is showed to be enabled, and yes, my forum is in my domains root)

The mod installed without an error.
In my admin settings > Paid Subscriptions (On my board of course) I have set up a simple subscription for a test, the url shown is the same as the one above (http://sitename.com/subs/ipn.php) and paid subscriptions are enabled.

However, when I log into my site as a test user and try to set up a subscription, I get sent to this link (When clicking on the "Order with PayPal" button:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

And I get the following error page:
"You have entered an invalid amount. Please make sure that all punctuation marks are in the correct places and that you only include the numeric portion of your amount. For example, if the amount is $5.00 USD, you would enter 5.00."

If I uncheck the "Reoccuring payment" box, I get redirected to a page saying:
"The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount."

So why is it sending users there, shouldn't it be sending them to the http://sitename.com/subs/ipn.php page?

I know that this post is rather long, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to search the forum for an answer but couldn't find one.

I installed this mod on 1.1.5 and it seems to work well but I have a small problem with currencies. I need to take payments in Canadian dollars, is there a lot of changes involved in the .php files to add CAD as a currency ?

I tried selecting "Other" but then it won't let me create subscriptions saying I haven't chosen a currency.

Edit: Nevermind, found the problem to be a small typo in ManagePaid.php

// Saving?
if (isset($_POST['save']))
{
checkSession();

// Pick the right currency.
if ($_POST['currency'] == 'other')
{
$currencyCode = $_POST['currency_code'];
$currencySymbol = $_POST['currency_symbol'];
}
else
{
$currencyCode = $_POST['currency'];
$currencySymbol = $txt[$_POST['currency'] . '_symbol'];
}

Changed "other" to "Other" and now I can specify a different currency code.

"You have not setup your currency yet. Please do so from the settings menu before continuing"

When I go to the settings menu I have the options in the currency select menu of USD Euro GBP Other. The USD has ($) next to it, but the Euro and GBP has (?) with the question mark inside a black triangle.

If I select USD or other then the above error goes and I can set up subscriptions, but I'm in England and need to use the GBP option.

Any ideas? Thanks as always :o)

Hi all, after manually installing v1.8 to 1.1.5, I was able to get it to work up to this point.
When the user clicks the "Order with Paypal" button, paypal returns this error:

Quote
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.

The link on that button is "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr", the same link as the error message on the Paypal site.

How do I fix this??

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: ElectricSquid on July 26, 2008, 04:42:26 PM

OK, I figured out that if I UNCHECK the "Make this a recurring payment" checkbox, that the link goes through without error.
So I gather that there is something wrong with the "Make this a recurring payment" feature.

Any tips or suggestions are welcome.

I thought there was a setting somewhere when someone signed up for a "paid subscription" you had the option for them to then have a certain member group listed under their name in posts, like premium member or something. But, i can't find any such setting. I do have a Member group called Premium Member but don't know how to get subscribers to then be added to this group once they subscribe or are subscribed manually.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

[UPDATE] Maybe I know the answer to this. I'm an admin on my site, as well as a premium member. So, Administrator shows under my name as that's my primary membergroup. If my primary wasn't an admin, would it then display Premium Member instead?

Ok, I know this is a little bit of a stretch.

I created a group called Site Supporter
I created a little image that looks like a gift.

Is it possible to make the gift clickable and send the clicker to their Subscription URL for their particular account? The reason behind my thinking is somebody is going to be curious to what that image is when they click on it, it will take them to their Subscription page so they can make the decision to subscribe or not to subscribe. The more that might see it the more that might subscribe as well.

I might be able to fake the code to take the user to the subscription URL, but what or where would I find the code that says if its part of the "Site Supporter" group to make it clickable and display some code.

Also could anybody tell me what file I would need to change, to change the wording in the Members Subscription page to let the user know that if they check the box to automatically renew they would need a Paypal account. Some of my users refuse to get PayPal accounts, but if they leave the box checked they more than likely will be turned off after going through the process and finding out they have to have an account.

The ReadMe says that after it installs you need to go to Admin Settings and 'enable it' but I'm not seeing an option ANYWHERE to do that. I've even changed back to the default theme, just to see if that had anything to do with it. I'm sure this question has a simple answer, and I'd be ever so grateful if someone would share this answer with me. What am I missing? How can I enable my Paypal Subscriptions for a particular membergroup. Thanks a bunch!!

Im using it with 1.1.6 and its working fine. Options should be under Admin/Members/Paid Subscriptions.

One thing doesnt work for me, subs currency: Others. Defaults to US Dollars every time. Any chance of AU Dollars Support?

Paid subscription handler could not find subscription for member ID: 1, subscription ID: 147

I get an E-mail with the following text:
"Paid subscription handler could not find subscription for member ID: 1, subscription ID: 147"

The subscription ID varies but the Member ID is always 1

Any ideas how a user could create this error? Is this from someone either not using the same E-mail addy as their PayPal or not yet a member at all?

mmmmmmm, SMF 2 has this built in so it will not need support for SMF 2,

Also i am using SMF 1.1.6 i have not tried it but if you go to the mod link page where you download, select version 1.1.6 and it tells you how to manually add to SMF 1.6.6

Hi all,

the script is working fine.
But now I have 2 pages which are running with this mod.
The problem is now that I have only 1 URL for the first page at Paypal for the IPN return :-X
For the second page I have no possibility to create a second URL at Paypal.
Because the second page has got another URL I can not use the first IPN return URL.

Anyone has got an idea :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solved

If someone has got 2 forums and want to work with the same mod you must do this :D
For the second forum

ManagePaid.template.php

Find:

<form action="https://www.', !empty($modSettings['paidsubs_test']) ? 'sandbox.' : '', 'paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

Add after:

<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://yourpage/subs/ipn.php" />

I am using 1.1.7 and it works well

after converting the tables in smf 1.1.5 to utf-8 the subscription mod will show:

You have not setup your currency yet. Please do so from the settings menu before continuing

this is only for the euro sign and pound. Not for the $.

I know this has to do something with utf-8, is there a solution?

I found a solution to this.

I use utf-8 and thus changed the € symbol to utf-8 equivalente, namely €.
You have to create a ManagePaid."language-you-use"-utf8.php from ManagePaid.english.php if you have another language than englidh and then replace the € to the utf-8 form in $txt['eur_symbol'] and $txt['eur'] instances... after that it will work perfectly.

Subscriptions is a core feature in v2.0 - this MOD has no usefulness in that version.

I still don't get what's wrong with sending emails to subscribers with confirmation after subscribing and renewal alert. Confirmation mail sending to forum Admin from Paypal and from forum itself works fine though.

Can it be because I use a utf-8 language? Is there something one has to change in paypal.php, ipn.php or ManagePaid.php?

	// There are 12 months per year - ensure that they all get listed.
	for ($month = 1; $month <= 12; $month++)

						<option value="', $month, '"', $month == $context['sub']['start']['month'] ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['months'][$month], '</option>';

	echo '

					<select name="day" id="day">';

	// This prints out all the days in the current month - this changes dynamically as we switch months.

	echo '

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Have no idea, but since it was Grudge who developed this, he probably thought about that when they implemented this feature as core in SMF v2.

But this is more wishful thinking than anything else. ;)

It would be great if upgrading to 2.0 would carry over the data from this mod. Or is might there be a script that will carry over the mod subscription data into the new standard subscription data? Would love to see this.

I installed a button to link to the subscription page from my home page but I'm having no luck with it. Perhaps you all can help...

I installed it and made all the changes I needed for my site, but when I the "admin" of the site clicks on the sign up button I get this message:

An Error Has Occurred!
The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist.

When a normal member clicks the sign up button they get the same message.

The link I have attached to the button is:

http://www.troutpredator.info/index.php?action=profile;sa=subscriptions

Any ideas??? I'm not very good with code but I appreciate any help I can get?

I'm running a pretty urls mod, does that make a difference?

When I navigate to the subscription page, the url reads:

http://troutpredator.info/profile/?u=1;sa=subscriptions

Where the u=1 differs depending on the user trying to subscribe.

Thanks in advance!

FYI - 1.1.x users of this mod who convert to 2.0, the subscriptions ARE carried over.

Hello,

thanks a lot for your mod. I'm trying to use it and it seems really perfect !

I just have one question : is it a functionnality that I missed to advertise the members that the subscription has reached the end time ? Typically, I will put in place one 1 year subscription in my website. Will my users, that subscribed, receive a mail 1 month before the 1 year date arrives ? Because people do not always remember when they payed for the subscription and in order to enhance the nomber of active members a remember seems quite usefull. Because I did not find this setting and I thing this is certainly included in your mod, isn't it ?

Thanks again and waiting on your answer.
Etienne.

Hi
I have the issue with the 1970 date. And it seems Paypal IPN is not working as it states Pending Payment even though I have paid.

QuotePaid Member Pending Payment 02/March/2009, 01:38:50 PM 01/January/1970, 01:00:00 AM

EDIT:

I think this is meant to happen... in Profile.php the endTime is not in the INSERT statement.

Code Select

		// Setup a pending entry if they haven't got anything.
		db_query("
			INSERT IGNORE INTO {$db_prefix}log_subscribed
				(ID_SUBSCRIBE, ID_MEMBER, status, startTime)
			VALUES
				($_GET[sub_id], $memID, 0, " . time() . ")", __FILE__, __LINE__);

So I assume when it is not pending anymore it is updated to correct time, although I dont know this yet because Paypal IPN is not working and Pending Payment is in the status.

I've wasted hours on this mod.

   elseif (!empty($modSettings['paid_enabled']) && (($context['user']['is_owner'] && allowedTo('profile_view_own')) || allowedTo('moderate_forum')))
   {
// This is needed incase user can't edit profile.
$context['profile_areas']['edit_profile'] = array(
   'title' => $txt['profileEdit'],
   'areas' => array()
);
   }

any help anyone might provide would be appreciated as I'm new to PHP and not sure what is wrong with the code or if it's an easy fix or a major fix needed to the mod-- thanks very much.

And yes, I checked over all the manual code and everything was spot on.

Update!

worked with a friend of mine who knows PHP very well and he found the error ...it had to do with the TP command in the middle of an if statement that was missing a { and was in the wrong place -- one little tweak and now everything is working fine with the mod.

Hi all.

I have added this to the forum I run, but I keep getting emails from Paypal...

An error occured whilst attempting to do a paid subscription. The error is shown below:
---------------------------------------------
Could not connect to paypal server

Also, users do not get changed to the membergroup I created. Have I missed something?

Any help will be greatfully received.

cheeky ..you have to be sure you set up your paypal link in the Paid subscriptions admin settings and you have to be sure you have all your settings correct in that area.

Note:
For subscriptions to be automatically updated for your users, you will need to setup a return URL for each of your payment methods. For all payment types, this return URL should be set as:

(you'll see a link and a click thru to take you to paypal to set up your link)

OK after finally getting this all set up and working on the front end, my first user sets up a recurring subscription which I got a notification from paypal but the mod did nothing to update the users record and I get this error message in my log two times

Unknown transaction type in ipn.php the there's a link to index.php

I have the paypal ipn all set up and directed to the proper link which I just verified again.

The users record remains the same as it was when I entered it manually it did not extend his subscription or change the date. Is it possible the recurring subscription is an unknown type? I'm using smf 1.1.8 with Tiny Portal 1.0 beta 3 and the latest sub mod .018 I'm going to check the parse for SMF 1.1.8 again --- but has anyone else gotten this error and if so how did you resolve it?

Also, I just realized this mods sub dates only extend out until 2010! For those of us that can't move to SMF 2.0 yet especially if we use Tiny Portal we sure are going to have issues with the very well used mod.

Any help would be appreciated -- has the modder abandon this mod? Are there any experts in the forum using it that can offer some help?

Thanks.

markym, I set up everything as I should have done, but still get the same problems as per your latest message.

For now I have removed the Mod, and am upgrading members manually as and when they pay. For this, I simply added the HTML from paypal into a TP block.

That will have to do me until I can get the auto upgrading bit to work.

Joanna ..I have the exact same error using SMF1.1.8 with Tiny Portal 1.0b3 and this mod installed. I ran all the queries and the front end is working fine. I have the paypal ipn correctly set up and I get the same error message you've noted above on every subscription.

A friend and I have stared at the ipn.php for hours trying to find why it doesn't know the transaction type -- I'm about ready to give up such as cheeky did.

Is anyone else out there getting the unknown transaction type in ipn.php error with this mod? Is there anyone out there that can help us before we go insane??

yes, the paypal stuff is fine, payments process through paypal and into my account but the ipn errors out when it gets to forum to the ipn.php file because it can't find the transaction type which it should know is paypal. It only gets about 12 lines into the ipn.php before it hits the code that tells it to generate that error message if/else statements

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Resourcez on April 17, 2009, 11:48:23 PM

It errors because it cannot find $_POST info to decide whether it is a paypal or any other type of transaction. Since you are using PayPal, your only interest is what is being or not being satisfied by the first IF statement - forget all the rest as they don't apply.

Clearly the paypal stuff is not fine and it is most likely that one of your PayPal account settings is incorrect in these areas.

It's a value called "cal_maxyear" in the database. I think it's under "smf_settings" in the database.
I just put mine to 2025 and it worked fine...
Just change the value using PHPMyAdmin.

yes, I sure am. And I see your other post Resourcez on the Paypal account setting probably being incorrect but I'm not sure where to look to fix them. I have all the paypal stuff set up correctly in the admin settings area so are you suggesting that there's something wrong with paypal settings in one of the php files and might you happen to know how to fix it. I agree with your logic as it seems to error out right at the $_Post

Thanks for the tip ;)... you've taken out the stress to have to update my forum to v2.0 before the end of 2009 (since I have anual subscriptions).

Now the only thing left is the email notifications to a subscriber whenever it subscribes and also reminding to renew the subscription.

It works with 1.1.8.

The problems are:

It doesn't go further than 2010, BUT the good news is that there's a solution using phpmyadmin.
The email sent to the user confirming subscription or reminding when it's time to renew doesn't work at all. I haven't seen any solution on this one yet.

seeing that the text string "paid_mod_reminder" ONLY appears in the language file, I am assuming this functionality does not exist.

Thanks, I thought so. When I upgraded, I did a total fresh install and added a slew of mods and couldn't remember if this was one of them.

UPDATE:

I have the paid subscription option on my admin page alright, but when I click on the button to the right to enable it, nothing happens at all.

I tried to use the package manager... tons of failures. I used the mod's manual install to find the existing code and tons of it is missing. None in the index.php or subs.php file to start with. I tried to use the manual instructions to install the mod, but the "find" code in the subs.php file doesn't exist. Obviously, I didn't need to go any farther.

Now what? Thanks!

The pic shows you are missing the language files. There is probably a "Modifications.YOURLANGUAGE.php" file or additions that you need to put in. Sometimes you will need to put these in your theme location if you are not using the default theme.

Even if you setup everything correctly, it doesn't work. Only the admin receives 2 mails, one from the forum and another from Paypal upon subscription. But the one that subscribes doesn't receive a confirmation email and neither an email reminding him/her when the subscription is about to end.

As far as the site not updating... did they use the same email address at PayPal as they use in your forum? Just a thought.

the smf_subscriptions table, last column
Standard value = 0. If you read the txt strings, you will see text like, your subscription will expire after days

possible 1 will send the reminder, or it will send a reminder 1 day before ending of the subscription. I am testing it now with a 3 days subscription, so I need to wait a few days :).

Hi again,

Evrything works perfect exept from this:

1)- The email sent upon subscribing
2)- The email reminder when the subscription is getting to the end

In other words, email features don't work.

Any solution or a tip to work on these features?

Except from that, everything works perfect ;)
I assume your forum email is working correct?
and you setup the Email for Correspondence: ?

Even if you setup everything correctly, it doesn't work. Only the admin receives 2 mails, one from the forum and another from Paypal upon subscription. But the one that subscribes doesn't receive a confirmation email and neither an email reminding him/her when the subscription is about to end.

Everything about this mod is working 100%... except from this...

This mod with the email alerts would be awesome!!!
I'm not a coder, but It doesnt look so difficult to code that specific feature, a simple script and a daily cron, and that's it.

Anyone smart enought to do it? no me... lol

Will this work for V1.1.11?

Not wanting to go right through all the posts I only went back a few pages and see these are two major points, have these been sorted?

QuoteThe problems are:

•It doesn't go further than 2010, BUT the good news is that there's a solution using phpmyadmin.
•The email sent to the user confirming subscription or reminding when it's time to renew doesn't work at all. I haven't seen any solution on this one yet.

The first: YES, you just have to go to the admin panel, search for the calendar options and span it over 2010 (no need for phpmyadmin);

The second: NO, it seems that there's a table in the database to this, but doesn't work. One member has said that the feature isn't hard-coded and therefore it will never work unless the code is manually added. Which code? I have no idea, I'm not a programmer.

Hi all ;)

I need to add paypal ipn verification to a buy it now button on my site but of course the Paid Subscriptions mod is getting all IPN verifications, (BTW this mod is working so well many many thanks to the authors, it's been brilliant)

I assume I am going to have to add some code in the ipn.php file but I'm a little afraid of messing up the reliability by putting the code in the wrong place.

I need to look out for the item name called 'Video Ticket' and when it confirms that this item is received then add that user a ticket on the user profile, I have got all the code for the ticket system all spot on just need to get the ipn to verify a payment and then run my code for updating the users profile:)

I'm assuming that I need to add some code here.... and use the item_name form the ipn information?? am I on the right track??

to accept € (EURO) instead of $ (USD) you have to manually edit these lines:

ManagePaid.english.php
Find:

Code Select


// Symbols.
$txt['usd_symbol'] = '$%1.2f';
$txt['eur_symbol'] = '€%1.2f';
$txt['gbp_symbol'] = '£%1.2f';

$txt['usd'] = 'USD ($)';
$txt['eur'] = 'EURO (€)';
$txt['gbp'] = 'GBP (£)';
$txt['other'] = 'Other';

Replace with:

Code Select

// Symbols.
$txt['usd_symbol'] = '$%1.2f';
$txt['eur_symbol'] = '&euro;%1.2f';
$txt['gbp_symbol'] = '&pound;%1.2f';

$txt['usd'] = 'USD ($)';

I know to add a button on SMF but is impossible for this mod to add a "BUY" button because : index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=subscriptions, this is for users to see :
Paid Subscriptions
Below is a list of all the subscriptions which are available on this forum.
u=1 is for first member i guess so if i want to add a buy button on my forum how is possible that as long as the direct link depend for each member (u=1,u=2,etc) ?

Actually, you just need to put the link in this form:
index.php?action=profile;sa=subscriptions

By removing the u=1 you go directly to your subscriptions and not somebody else's. Of course, you've got to be logged in otherwise an error message will show up.

Single Payment and Recurring Payment, any problems with you guys?

I've been using this mod with both options, the user chooses if he just want to pay for 1 month, or if he wants to be billed automaticaly every months. It has been working so far for many months, but right now, their VISA is only accepted by Paypal if they go for the recurring payment option and nobody seems to manage to do a single payment.

Anyone with this problem?

Is it simple to upgrade from 1.1.11 to 2.0 having already this mod installed?

I mean, having hundreds of subscribers already inside this mod, it would be a problem to migrate and mantain all these subscriptions working with no trouble?

thanks for any feedback ;)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

I believe the subscriptions should just drop into the 2.0 system since AFAIK the same person who wrote the mod was the one who added the feature to 2.0...

O.k., here's what I've got in index.template.php.

Code Select Expand
// If the user is a guest, also show [register] button. if ($context['user']['is_guest']) echo '<li', $current_action == 'register' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">' , $txt[97] , '</a></li>'; // If the user is a guest, also show [subscribe] button. if ($context['user']['is_guest']) echo '<li', $current_action == 'subscribe' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile, u=', $ID_MEMBER, 'sa=subscriptions">' , $txt[subscribe] , '</a></li>';

I'm using the Sonbahar theme, and I tried to use the code for the register button as well as the code I quoted in reply 887 to try to figure out what to put in there. I substituted "subscribe" for every instance of "donation". I added
Code Select Expand
$modSettings; to
Code Select Expand
function template_menu() { global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt,

because it wasn't in there to begin with, and then I just pasted
Code Select Expand
global $ID_MEMBER; after it.

I've now got the subscribe button on my page:

http://www.creekflows.com/forum/index.php (http://www.creekflows.com/forum/index.php)

but it doesn't go anywhere. The few times I was able to get it to point somewhere (and I'm not really sure how I did that) it just gave me an error stating the user profile I was trying to view didn't exist. Eventually I want to remove the register button and only allow guests to subscribe, but I really don't know what I'm doing. Could someone help me out?

Thank you.

You seem to have screwed things up. This link construction is wrong:

Code Select

   echo '<li', $current_action == 'subscribe' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile, u=', $ID_MEMBER, 'sa=subscriptions">' , $txt[subscribe] , '</a></li>';

Try to go as a guest and click in the Subscribe button on your forum and then look at the url bar to see what link you get. ???

I don't get why do you put this either:

Code Select

        // If the user is a guest, also show [subscribe] button.
   if ($context['user']['is_guest'])

And then you have an $ID_MEMBER string after... guest are not members, so the profile (u=', $ID_MEMBER, ') will always be zero. So I think you messed up this part. If people subscribe they have to be members, there's no way several guests can subscribe something.

Ok, I hacked this together last night.

This mod will warn people two weeks before one of their subscriptions expires. Just replace the "autoCheckSubscriptions()" function (in Sources/ManagePaid.php) with this one. You will also want to edit the $txt[paid_reminder_body] text in Themes/default/languages/ManagePaid.english.php to set the notification the way you want it to be.

I tested this on my forum and it works like a charm.

Code Select


// Function called to clean up expired subscriptions.
function autoCheckSubscriptions()
{
    global $db_prefix, $sourcedir, $txt;

    // Set notification time to be two weeks before subscription expires.
    // Expressed in seconds, so 14 days * 24 hours * 60 mins * 60 secs.
    $expire_time = time() + (14 * 24 * 60 * 60);

    // Select all subscriptions that are due to expire.
    $request = db_query("
        SELECT ID_SUBLOG, ID_SUBSCRIBE, ID_MEMBER
        FROM {$db_prefix}log_subscribed
        WHERE status = 2
        AND reminder_sent = 0
        AND endTime < $expire_time", __FILE__, __LINE__);

    // Step through each row and send a notification to each user.
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
    {
        // Update "reminder_sent" flag that so we only remind them once.
        db_query("
            UPDATE {$db_prefix}log_subscribed
            SET reminder_sent = 1
            WHERE ID_SUBLOG = " . $row['ID_SUBLOG']);

        // Grab the user's name and e-mail address.
        $request2 = db_query("
            SELECT ID_MEMBER, realName, memberName, emailAddress
            FROM {$db_prefix}members
            WHERE ID_MEMBER = " . $row['ID_MEMBER'] . "
            LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
        
        $row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($request2);
        mysql_free_result($request2);
        
        require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Post.php');

        // Send the subscription expiration warning via e-mail.
        sendmail($row2['emailAddress'], $txt['paid_reminder_subject'],
            sprintf($txt['sendtopic_dear'], $row2['realName']) . "\n\n" .
            "$txt[paid_reminder_body]\n\n" .
            $txt[130]);
    }
    mysql_free_result($request);
    
    // Find all the ones to remove.
    $request = db_query("
        SELECT ID_SUBSCRIBE, ID_MEMBER
        FROM {$db_prefix}log_subscribed
        WHERE status = 2
        AND endTime < " . time(), __FILE__, __LINE__);

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))

    // Store the next expire time.
    updateNextCheck();

Does the subscription feature in 2.0 also require that guests register before they can purchase a subscription?

Yes. But you don't have to actually open any boards to them, you could hide all boards, have them only accessible to a 'donator' group or similar, and have the paid subscription move them to that group on payment.

I'll try it out. I think I will add something more beside $txt[paid_reminder_body], since in the language file there is also $txt[paid_reminder_name], $txt[paid_reminder_date] and one more. I'll let you know later if it works. ;)

Or will this mod install with this version? I never used this mod before and just found it. This is what I've been looking for. I'd appreciate a response.

Thanks,

Gibs

Most 1.1.x mods install on any 1.1.x version, give it a try.

Hi,

I am trying to install the package. I am using SMF 1.1.11 and I get this install error.

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required /Packages/temp/subscription/paidsubsdb.php (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php') in /Sources/Packages.php on line 556

Thanks for any help.

It works on SMF 1.1.11, maybe you have to change the version number on package.xml or something, but it works, that I can assure you.

Or use the most recent version of the mod, coupled with Version Emulate Dropdown (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2113) to override the version check.

Post by: gibsongk55 on May 15, 2010, 10:53:46 AM

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I download the version emulator but I don't see how or where that works. I downloaded the latest version 18 on the paid subs again and uploaded and installed it. All the files check okay and after I click install i get this error:

QuoteFatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required /Packages/temp/subscription/paidsubsdb.php (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php') in /Sources/Packages.php on line 556

Same error as I received before. Back to the beginning again. Any more ideas?

Thanks,

Gibs

The emulator works by adding a new menu entry into the admin panel as the page describes. If the item doesn't appear maybe your permissions are messed up.

Have you been able to install other mods?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: gibsongk55 on May 15, 2010, 11:10:51 AM

Hi,

The emulator installed ok. I found it under server/configurations and selected many older versions and tried the install. I still get the same error as stated above every time.

Thanks,

Gibs

Then it's not a version problem.

Again, have you been able to install others mods? (What mods? Were they successful too?)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: gibsongk55 on May 15, 2010, 11:28:17 AM

Hi,

Yes here is a list of installed mods:

1.    Stop Spammer     2.2
2.    Ad Managment    2.3
3.    SMF 1.0.17 / 1.1.9 / 2.0 RC1 Update    1.0
4.    Double Post Stopper    1.1
5.    Stop Spammer    2.3.7
6.    Redirect on Login and/or Logout mod    0.4
7.    Version Emulate Dropdown    1.1
9.    Default Membergroup on Registration    1.1

And they all installed successfully.

What are you talking about? In my forum works perfectly since the day I installed it, it's a 1.1.11 version and the MOD was installed about a one and a half years ago.

If it doesn't install on 1.1.11 change the package.xml to include version 1.1.11, zip the file back and then try to upload it again.

I still can't install this dead mod. I just tried installing it manually exactly to the instructions. I only got up to the first two MYSQL queries to add tables and get errors below. Anyone know how to install this thing? Don't tell me it works because it will not install on SMF 1.1.11 with the package manager nor will it install per the instructions manually.

Thanks,

Title: How to get it installed in less than 2 months - What's Next?
Post by: gibsongk55 on June 28, 2010, 04:58:31 AM

Okay I guess I am talking to myself because the author and others will not reply to help anyone on this mod. For anyone else trying I finally got it installed after 2 months!!

First of all you will have to manually install it. Follow the directions up until the end where you need to update the database tables.

Here you need to go into your control panel, your PHPmyAdmin and go to your SMF table. As in the instructions do each query under [SQL] in your PHPmyAdmin. First change all single quotes to double quotes. Then you need to change the variable: {$db_prefix} with the actual prefix of your database tables in my case it is the default: smf. Also modify the commain a little like this.

So for the query:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {$db_prefix}subscriptions

I had to change it to:

CREATE TABLE smf_subscriptions

Just look at your tables and see what the prefix is for all your tables. You will need to do these two changes on all the Queries. Note: some of the queries will show an error "Duplicate rows". This is because they were already updated.

-----------------------------------------

Well that is as far as I could get. It works. But now what to do? No real documentation. I set up my paypal IPN.

I turned on the paid subscription in the admin panel of SMF. I added a subscription and chose a default board. Where does the user get a paypal button to signup? I set the default subscription for new users. I signed up as a new user and I receive no notice to pay, nothing about paypal, and it allows me to post in that board as well.

What are you supposed to do next? Make a paypal button? I though the mod would handle that as it lets me choose the amount and duration. Something is totally missing here. Anyone have this missing information?

I would hate to spend 2 more months on this.

This mode is no longer suported, because it is included in SMF 2.0's core code. Just upgrade to SMF 2.0 RC3 or newer.

To the Other guy, that couldn't figure out how to get people to pay, there is a link in their profile, something like this:

WOW. How's that for a coincidence - of the nine 1.1.11 forums and single 2.0 RC3 forum I have on my site, the only one I was planning to make a paid-membership site already had that feature built in! I snooped around in my Admin panel until I found it and turned it on.

If one uses PayPal, does the PayPal e-mail remain hidden to users, or is it visible to anyone who makes a payment? And can the system be set up to process credit card payments directly instead of going through PayPal?

I have installed it, clicked enable, added subscriptions, and changed the site to where you have to be in the "special" membergroup to read the posts. My problem is that when I log in as a new member I just dont see anything other than the banner and the stats at the bottom. Where are the members supposed to go to purchase a subscription?

Is there a way for me to make it to where they can see everything on the index page but in order to view them they have to get a subscription?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Oya on October 18, 2010, 03:04:54 AM

codymunger - not from this mod itself, but the mod will provide you with the ability to change user groups and there's a mod called view only boards that you can use in combination to set it so all groups can see but only premium groups can go in

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Post by: Madlab7 on October 21, 2010, 11:53:07 PM

Ok, we have the mod installed and up and running, however, how does a subscriber cancel his membership and choose not to use recurring payments. For example, with the test account, we went through the subscription and checked the recurring payments box. When approved I went through with the test account to see if there was somewhere to cancel recurring payments and I could not find it. Also, it made me pay with an e-check. Is there a way to pay with just a Paypal balance? Does this have something to do with being a verified or confirmed member with Paypal?

Post by: ammonihah99 on November 04, 2010, 02:53:47 PM

Before I download and install this mod, I would like to know if it will do what I would like it to:

1. We charge $30/yr for the first year and $20/yr after that. Can it do this?

2. Some of our members will opt to pay cash in person or check by mail. Can I manually authorize payment for these exceptions?

3. The way I have it set up now is that if they don't pay by a certain time, their membergroup is changed to a restricted one with limited access, once they pay, they get their upgraded membergroup back. Can it make this process automated?

4. I understand that 2.0 has this feature built-in. Right now I am running 1.1.11—would it be worth it to install 2.0 just for this ability? We are a small board with about 50 members.

Thanks!

Post by: ammonihah99 on November 16, 2010, 11:52:59 AM

Just for any one else look for help for my problem, I installed this and it wasn't working - it was giving me this error:

QuoteSome of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders.

I thought it was a permission problem or a path problem, but it was neither. The solution for me was to create a directory called "subs" in the forum root. Worked like a charm!

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: ammonihah99 on November 19, 2010, 04:56:28 PM

The mod is working fine now, I just need some extra help.

Sometimes after my subscriber pays, I need to change their membergroup again manually, but when their subscription ends, it won't revert back to the original membergroup, it just keeps them in the membergroup that I manually put them into. Is there any way to edit the mod or code in any way to keep them in a certain membergroup when they are not a paid subscriber?d

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

You shouldn't put them in manually, it does it automatically. When the subscription ends I'm not sure if it sends them back to the regular user group or not.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: ammonihah99 on November 22, 2010, 03:01:01 PM

I don't put them in manually, but I have several membergroups and need to "upgrade" their membership occasionally. When I do this, it won't put them back in the default membergroup when the subscription expires, it keeps them where they are. I need to know how to circumvent this problem, if possible.

Hi All,

Not sure what is going on with my Paid Subscriptions mod - I've created the button via PayPal, set the IPN URL, created a 'Paid Subscriptions' member group with proper permissions, installed the mod and set the default group, yet it seems nothing happens once the customer pays via PayPal. No errors are displayed, but they are not automatically redirected back to the forum nor is an account created - its as if the IPN is not doing anything at all to update data on the site.

Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this? I even tried using the create username/password feature in PayPal but the data was not added to the forum so the generated info is useless. What am I missing here? Seems like this should be a simple fix but I don't know where the problem lies...

You haven't said what the problem is. Right now you've done the equivalent of going to the doctor and saying "I have a pain" and expecting him to figure out what the problem is.

In 2.0, all you have to do is turn it on in Core Features...

Yes i know that clicking a button is simple...
Only i know that the installation cant find some quotes in the 2.0 RC4.
index.php and some other files, so when i press the uninstall button the whole forum crash and i get a error 404 cant find subscriptions.php.
I replaced that file still 404 cant find a other file. I have no pic (anymore) and i have just reinstalled the forum so.
Thx for you posts

Hello Grudge & follow paid subs users,

Pending payment issues? well read this

no payment can be active if it has a end date that has already passed this is the issue read that post please comment on your findings and lets try to help Grudge and smf admins get this fixed and taken care of. i do think you should try to donate to the mod maker if he does fix this for us.

Hi all, somebody an idea how to change the end date 2010 up to maybe 2012 ?

You must go to the "Calandar" features and there you can change the date to what you want 8)

Out of the blue, in the past couple of days, Paypal sent me the following emails...

Quote
Hello,

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

http://forum.mysite.com/subs/ipn.php
http://forum.mysite.com/ipntreas.php

If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Thanks,

PayPal

-------------------------

Any idea why it would start failing all of a sudden?

Thanks.

Is IPN on? Is sending messages enabled? Did you move server? I have the same problem with my 2.0 forum. I think its because it's powered by LiteSpeed.

Hello, I have been searching the way to use subscriptions and I think I do everything I need to make it work but something is wrong. For make it more easy for another users like me, I try to explain what I do step by step so the SMF team can help us better.

I have installed the SMF 2.0

1) In Configuration > Core Features > Paid Subscriptions: click ON and and save

2) In Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify)

Notification URL: http://www.mysite.com/subscriptions.php / Click Option: Receive IPN options / and save

3) In Administration Center » Paid Subscriptions » View Subscriptions: Create a subscription (Subscription Name: Description: Auto-renew: Active: Primary Group upon Subscription: Subscription for fixed price and period: etc)

::::::::

Now I go inside the forum with a test-user and try to pay the subscription:

Paypal make the charge in the account and send supporting ID transaction and automatic payment profile to the Test-user mail.

The admin of the forum mail receive the following message:

The following error occurred when processing a paid subscription
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unknown Paid Subscriptions transaction type

Well I hope to be very clear so that they can support in knowing if to lack something to me more within the configuration of the paid subscription.

Thanks

Have also posted in the SMF 2.x support forum but this might be the correct place to ask:

Haven't been able to find out if this feature is possible yet but this is what I would like to set up on my forum:

2 types/groups of membership - a free one (which I assume I would need to assign to one membership group) and a subscription one (another membership group). Now I would like for the subscribers to be the only ones to be able to post in specific topics but for everyone to read. Is this currently possible or do I need a Mod or to write this myself?

Many thanks, Natasha

I don't think I've ever had a mail for the forum relating to subscriptions, even though it's set. I still have to do the accept by hand :(

And what are you doing when the subscription finished? Do you have to get inside every day for search finished subscriptions and set manually for each user? Because I see that the forum automatically set the new member group for the subscripts but not downgrade when the time finished.

Is there any way to do it automatically ? thanks

WHen the subscription finishes, then unfortunately it finishes unless they have it set to recurring in which I still get an email from paypal which makes me go to the forum to sort it out. Same with any subscription. The paypal email tells me I need to sort it on the forum.

You don't need that mod anymore as it's built in to SMF. You need to turn it on in the settings though. Having said that, the mod still doesn't work automatically for me :(

It's because the mod is configured to work with the default theme only. If you have another theme, it will not work.

Does anyone know how to implement the PM functionality on this MOD? It shouldn't be too hard since smf 2.0 subscription feature is an improved version of this MOD.

Ok, I hacked this together last night.

This mod will warn people two weeks before one of their subscriptions expires. Just replace the "autoCheckSubscriptions()" function (in Sources/ManagePaid.php) with this one. You will also want to edit the $txt[paid_reminder_body] text in Themes/default/languages/ManagePaid.english.php to set the notification the way you want it to be.

I tested this on my forum and it works like a charm.

Code Select Expand
// Function called to clean up expired subscriptions. function autoCheckSubscriptions() { global $db_prefix, $sourcedir, $txt; // Set notification time to be two weeks before subscription expires. // Expressed in seconds, so 14 days * 24 hours * 60 mins * 60 secs. $expire_time = time() + (14 * 24 * 60 * 60); // Select all subscriptions that are due to expire. $request = db_query(" SELECT ID_SUBLOG, ID_SUBSCRIBE, ID_MEMBER FROM {$db_prefix}log_subscribed WHERE status = 2 AND reminder_sent = 0 AND endTime < $expire_time", __FILE__, __LINE__); // Step through each row and send a notification to each user. while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request)) { // Update "reminder_sent" flag that so we only remind them once. db_query(" UPDATE {$db_prefix}log_subscribed SET reminder_sent = 1 WHERE ID_SUBLOG = " . $row['ID_SUBLOG']); // Grab the user's name and e-mail address. $request2 = db_query(" SELECT ID_MEMBER, realName, memberName, emailAddress FROM {$db_prefix}members WHERE ID_MEMBER = " . $row['ID_MEMBER'] . " LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__); $row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($request2); mysql_free_result($request2); require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Post.php'); // Send the subscription expiration warning via e-mail. sendmail($row2['emailAddress'], $txt['paid_reminder_subject'], sprintf($txt['sendtopic_dear'], $row2['realName']) . "\n\n" . "$txt[paid_reminder_body]\n\n" . $txt[130]); } mysql_free_result($request); // Find all the ones to remove. $request = db_query(" SELECT ID_SUBSCRIBE, ID_MEMBER FROM {$db_prefix}log_subscribed WHERE status = 2 AND endTime < " . time(), __FILE__, __LINE__); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request)) removeSubscription($row['ID_SUBSCRIBE'], $row['ID_MEMBER']); mysql_free_result($request); // Store the next expire time. updateNextCheck(); }

This is incredible. Could this be used for 1.x version? What about the confirmation email receipt, once the person orders?

I have narrowed down the code to fix the email confirmation to the subscriber. Strangely, the confirmation message is being sent to the admin and not the subscriber :s

in ... /ipn.php

Code Select

// Email the user?
        if (strlen($emaildata > 10) && strpos($emaildata, "\n") !== false)
        {
                $subject = substr($emaildata, 0, strpos($emaildata, "\n") - 1);
                $body = substr($emaildata, strpos($emaildata, "\n") + 1);

                $search = array('{NAME}', '{FORUM}');
                $replace = array($name, $mbname);

                $subject = str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
                $body = str_replace($search, $replace, $body);

                require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Post.php');
                sendmail($email, $subject, $body);
        }

Not sure what's a matter with it

Found something interesting in PhpMyAdmin...

Under smf_settings there is a value called paidNextExpire with a value of 1293840000

This corresponds to an epoch time of GMT: Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

So I ended up changing this setting to 1420070400

Which is GMT: Thu, 01 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Gonna see if that fixes the auto-approve function :)

Prior to switching back to default, it never worked for me. I think it's the way the mod is written. You could try to change the directory name of your theme to default ;)

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

It's not just a rule, it's sort of law; specifically copyright law that unless the mod is given under a licence which permits modification and subsequent redistribution, no-one can take it over and update it. If you can get hold of the author and get permission, of course, this shouldn't be a problem.

In this mod's case, Grudge himself added it to SMF core way way back when he was an SMF dev.

As for modifying it yourself, go nuts. You just can't distribute it. You *can* document the changes you made, though.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

But that basically just means saying "Install this mod, then find/replace this code" as a forum post.

Just for fun, if the author should later come back, they have to ask *you* for permission to incorporate your code into it unless it's a few lines or very minor changes since then it's your copyrighted work that would be on the line. Fun business this.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Lord Anubis on March 14, 2013, 11:55:07 PM

well all I know is I was searching through this code and saw....

Code Select


// Should we check paid subscriptions?
	if (empty($modSettings['paidNextExpire']) || time() > $modSettings['paidNextExpire'])
	{
		require_once($sourcedir . '/ManagePaid.php');
		loadLanguage('ManagePaid');
		autoCheckSubscriptions();
        }

Then checked the value of "paidNextExpire" I figured the epoch was showing an outdated date according to the DB

Bad thinking? Or is it a matter of looking into the hooks for Paypal API?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Arantor on March 14, 2013, 11:56:39 PM

You found that? Interesting. The code says 'if we don't have a next expiry time logged, or "now" is after the next expiry time, go check the subscriptions'. Setting it to 2015 means that code won't run.

Don't mean to open up a can of worms, but I've been getting complaints that this mod, which has been working perfectly for the past year on my forum, isn't working anymore. The membergroups are not automatically being updated for paid members. My website has not changed, nor has the PHP software running behind the scenes changed - it is a dedicated server.

My question is, has PayPal made any changes to the IPN file recently that may account for this?

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Arantor on January 09, 2014, 08:05:51 PM

Changes were made some time ago to how IPNs work. I'm surprised it's worked this long, in all honesty.

2.0 fixed this back in 2.0.2 or 2.0.3 IIRC.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions

Several times over the last couple of days I've gone to pay for something and it's just gone to a random error message page... good luck getting any better sources than that though ;D

Of course, maybe you might consider preparing for a transition to 2.x because 2.0's paid subs will be supported for a good while yet (until 3.0 stable happens) and 1.1.x will be unsupported soon.

Funny, I *just* got 4 PayPal messages in a row about the purchases that took place hours ago.

I'm in a bind to be honest. The transition to 2.1 would be amazing, but I've simply done far too much with the 1.x software to make the swift transition. I have tested 2.x with my database, and it works fine. Issue, however, is keeping track of all the different tables added by other mods, big ones like the gallery, a custom blog modification, countless profile modifications, etc. (list is literally too large to mention). If you sign-up, you'll get a feel that this isn't your typical 1.x forum. It works and acts like a fork, which makes it difficult to transition. I don't have the time nor willpower to do it at the moment. But thanks for the genuine concern.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Arantor on January 09, 2014, 08:42:17 PM

Yeah, I didn't say it was *consistent*, I said there were issues over the past couple of days, but it's not every transaction.

All the time you stick to 1.1.x you have other issues to contend with. You're limited to PHP 5.4, for one. You're also forced to stick with ext/mysql (mysql_query and friends), because in 5.5 they're now non-standard and being phased out in favour of the MySQLi extension (which 2.0 has a mod for and 2.1 natively supports).

And once 2.1 happens, there will no longer be any security fixes for 1.1, not that it's worth our time fixing the other PHP 5.5 issues, nor is it even feasible for us to fix the MySQL issue that will result in PHP 5.5+ (possible yes, but so infeasible we already ruled it out)

It's 1.1.x, judging by the footer they were primarily working off a 1.1 beta.

The first clue: the footer cites copyright 2005, which predates 1.1 final. The copyright in 2.0 changed to Simple Machines (NPO)

Second clue, the Sources/ folder exists, Sources/PostModeration.php doesn't exist, Sources/ModSettings.php does, so it's 1.1.x.

Hello,

I encounter exactly the same problem as you since yesterday.
I also assume that it comes from PayPal.
I got the last pin code 4 h 40 pm and then nothing.

Edit:
I just tested sending notification in paypal history and this time I received the IPN. I think everything is back in order.
I did the same test last night and it did not work.

Does the paid subscriptions mod that is built into SMF 2.0.6 work? In 2.0.5 I could receive payments but it wouldn't change the users group membership so I basically stopped using it because it was a big pain the ass to do it manually. I set up a sand box account with PayPal and tried to test it several times ( with 2.0.6) and it's not working for me. More specifically, I am able to make the payment, but after the payment is made there is on change to the user account whatsoever on the forum. I don't even see a log of it, it's like nothing happened. Interestingly I ran and IPN test from the sandbox dashboard and it worked. Am I missing something here? Could there be a permissions issue? I recently moved to a VPS.

Sort of off topic: If I am some how able to get the paid subscriptions mod to work is there a way to make it so that all NEWLY registered guests will have to pay to access the forum? I want to give my current members time to pay, but force new users to pay now.

There is a known bug with the sandbox mode if the email address for the sandbox mode is different to the real email address you'll be using.

(Note that this mod was written by the person who would later go on to add it to 2.0, so this mod won't help you, not that this mod would help you anyway because it would need a substantial rewrite to use 2.0 database functions)

I appreciate that, and I may be asking on the wrong board. What I need to know is: Does the current built in payment system work? If so are there any special settings that need to be set?

Don't mean to open up a can of worms, but I've been getting complaints that this mod, which has been working perfectly for the past year on my forum, isn't working anymore. The membergroups are not automatically being updated for paid members. My website has not changed, nor has the PHP software running behind the scenes changed - it is a dedicated server.

My question is, has PayPal made any changes to the IPN file recently that may account for this?

Hello,

I encounter exactly the same problem as you since yesterday.
I also assume that it comes from PayPal.
I got the last pin code 4 h 40 pm and then nothing.

Edit:
I just tested sending notification in paypal history and this time I received the IPN. I think everything is back in order.
I did the same test last night and it did not work.

It was working this morning again, but once again is stumbling. I think I might contact PayPal.

Yes, you need to not be doing what you're doing, like I said...

Is there a way to make it so that only NEW members have to pay to join a certain group? I basically want to implement paid memberships but I want to only start with new people, and perhaps give current members different options.

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Arantor on January 10, 2014, 07:13:18 PM

No there isn't, not in this mod, not in 2.0, unlikely to be added in 2.1.

Same here. But I just re-tested at the moment and it works again. The problem does not come from paypal. According to my research, 99% of IPN problem come from networks or servers. Often it is intercontinental links problematic. Hopefully this is finally solved now especially that the weekend is here ..

I've gotten about 12 new paid members since I've started using the built in paid subscriptions feature. However, only 2 of them have successfully been put into the paid members group. The rest show up as Finished/inactive with weird dates for instance: start date 1/12/14 end date 1/30/05. Any idea what is causing that? It's going to be real pain if I have to manually go through and place all the paid members into the correct group.

The 2005 thing is a known bug but it's never been able to be properly diagnosed before because the only reference to 2005 in the code is from manually setting up subscriptions and doing it wrong :/

Any idea why two people would have been successfully added to the group but 10 others show as "Finished" and are not placed in the group? I read something about SMF e-mail vs paypal email, however on at least a few of the inactive new registers they were the same.

Side note: Does anyone know of a company or person who does paid support? I've got a bunch of little bugs that I'd like taken care of, and I am willing to pay.

That's the point: it's never been able to be diagnosed properly in the past :(

Variable, depends on the situation but honestly I don't have the time right now to take on new clients :(

Perhaps then this should be a focus for SMF 2.1?

By the way, I've never experienced the 2005 problem.

Perhaps you should take a look at the list of issues tracked for 2.1.

And? 2.1 was built on top of 2.0, both have the same bug as far as is known...

We've only been saying for months that development is on Github. https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1 in fact. Have a look under 'issues'.

This mod is being stupid again. After purchasing, it's saying payment pending (a date like year: 1969). The payment, however, has cleared in PayPal.

Is there another Mod like this one more recent. XF has it build in to the Core was looking for and SMF equivalent.

Are you using 1.x?

Sorry. 2.0.5, should have put that,

Title: Re: Paid Subscriptions
Post by: Arantor on August 13, 2014, 06:00:47 PM

Um, it's built into 2.0 (by Grudge, the original author), turn it on in Core Features. And you're behind in multiple security fixes.

Post by: SaltedWeb on August 13, 2014, 06:06:42 PM

Oh its the same in gotcha thanks.

, I am duplicating my site and going to test 2.0.8
Have a funny feeling if I straight upgrade to 2.0.8 It will not work in the end.
Problem with modding it does not always upgrade well so running tests to ensure
I do not lose all the work put in if I switch, not sure what 2.0.8 modified from 2.0.5
that will affect what it has now and may leave areas inoperable.
