Paid Subscriptions

[Brad Jones]

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...

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.

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.

[JayBachatero]

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.

[Jim R]

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.

OK ive implementing Rc3 this next week.

I really want to be able to use this mod.

However, has anybody gotten this to work successfully on rc3 without errors yet?

Thanks
Jon

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

Unfortunately, Finding a 30 year old Virgin in Mexico City is easier than finding a coder willing to tackle the task.

Ya;ll be careful with Paypal!

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...

It sounds like it has more to do with content.  Elegant John appears to have a bit of an adult site.  Not judging by any stretch, but some businesses don't like to have that kind of business associated with them.

Hello,

Ive got this mod mostly working on RC3, Ive changed the upin file a bit, and am working on getting the sub toi activate properly (with dates and all) and to actually work when changing the subscription.  I should have a 100% working version by this weekend.

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

Sounds pretty efficient to me!    (maybe that's all they can afford after the lawuit! lol)

ok back on topic......is this working yet?

I love this mod, but I have a couple of issues...
The only link for this in the admin center is =>Paid Subscriptions:

Member 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
Thanks.

There's deffo something wrong there then. Have you tried de-installing and then re-installing but looking at the files which are going to be modified and making sure they are chmodded to 777 so they are writeable?

[SRaven]

All the files that were to be modified were CHmodded to 777(I just checked). I just now un-installed it, then intalled it again and there is no difference. Still only gives me that one link.

That's all that should be there on the left.  Are you able to click on the link?  It should take you to a page where it shows subscriptions and gives you an option toward the top to View Subscriptions  |  Settings.

it doesnt matter regardless...this mod doesnt work....PERIOD.

Not true.  Version .9 works well for me, outside of additional emails which come to my admin account.  I've had a penny account running for a month.

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.

The .zip name I got was paidsubs_v0.14.zip. but the files inside that have a version number is v0.9, e.g paidsubs_v0.9.mod

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.
