In agreement. :)

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.

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

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).

EXACTLY what I have been saying for weeks.

I have a 16000+ member forum waiting for a fix. :(

I am afraid we will all have to upgrade REAL soon.

Too many mods.

Happily using a heavily modified 1.1.16 version of SMF!

SOLD my website - thanks it was a good run - they converted to vbadvanced. (and screwed it up good!)

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.

Jay,

Are there any logs to check between v.9 and v.10?  That is where the problem started as far as I can tell.

JayBachatero

Well what I did was compare the files.  From the looks of it there is nothing that would cause these problems.  I could be wrong though.

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,

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.

Thanks for the explaination mate :)

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.

Byron Sanchez

I hope there is a fix soon. I am getting these common errors as well. I'll be waiting for more updates!

MoreBloodWine

I wish grudge would come back heh... he should be able to fix it if he cold just get in there and poke around heh...

I received the IPN error email (unknown transaction type) and didn't get the payment to my account. The first time I received the error I still got the payment.

Any ideas?

JayBachatero

I've been real busy the past few days and haven't been able to look more into this.  I'll look more into it when I get a chance.

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.


JayBachatero

Actually .9 is not working for me at all.  Not sure what's wrong on my end though.
