How work PAID SUBSCRIPTION feature?

[edi67]

well i have one question how work PAID SUBSCRIPTION in smf 2?

i Added new subscription, i se all data and name of new subscription exist but IN users profile nothing appear is i click paid subscription i see this message:

There are currently no paid subscriptions available!

how make it working ? may be i must enable something else?

[jossanaijr]

Did you enable it in ADM/Main/Features and Options/Paid Subscriptions?

[Oldiesmann]

That section of the profile won't show up if Paid Subscriptions aren't enabled.

edi - you need to set up subscriptions through your admin center.

Admin -> (Members ->) Paid Subscriptions
Click on the "Settings" tab
Read the instructions about setting up a return URL and click the link to go to Paypal to set that up.

After that, simply go back to your admin center and enter the rest of the info.

Once you're done setting it up, click on the "View Subscriptions" tab, then click the "Add Subscription" button and fill in the info to set up the subscription.

So strange oldie, i made everything as you told me , added new subscriptions but clicking one my profile and go in PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS appear this:

There are currently no paid subscriptions available!

i dont understand, you want i give you access to admin panel for check ?

Sorry i see it work but the problem is :

when i insert one subscriptions with one Fix cost it work, but i want have one subscription without price and adding blank cost in field of cost not work and is not visible in profile.
how i can have subscriptions without no price but as one donations everybody can decide the amount to donate?

[Rumbaar]

I don't think you can, you can try set it to say $1 and in the description have it that it's minimum but please choose how much on or above that you want to donate.

Or you might try the Subscription price varies on duration ordered and leave it blank for amounts.  Not sure if that would work (I haven't used this feature before).

I have a question.
If i want to have pages with access only with Subscription, how can use it with ssi?
for example we have the

Code Select Expand

if (in_array(1, $user_info['groups'])) {
to restrict access for users.

is something similar for users with subscription?

I keep on going in this thread. How on earth do I make my forums writeable and reachable for paying customers only. I have the pay pal account, I have the paid subscriptions set up but how do I link the group I've created with a paid subscription to a specfik board?

You can't set it to 0.. But oddly enough you can set it to "0.00"

Well when you create the subscription you put that membergroup in the  Primary Group upon Subscription: or Additional Groups upon Subscription:.  Then you would setup access to your boards the normal way for that membergroup.

I've been trying to do that but it hasn't worked out that well for me.... Guess I'll better give it another go!

[totaltutankoll]

Think I've realised how it's working, I was hoping for a "you need to have a paid subscription to post on this forum" kind of thing but now instead I need to urge people to find the Paid subscription button to

[Rumbaar]

Yes I don't think there is a prompting like if you have Guest access off and it prompts you to login/register.   Though you can still alter that page to indicate to people that certain area might be off limit due to no subscription, etc.

[Dr. Emu]

If you want them to decie what to donate , then go to paypal.com [nofollow]

>create Account
>Go to merchant Services
> Go to Donations at the bottom right field
> Then Create a button , and then leave the amount of money BLANK couse then they can choose how much to donate....


Good luck!

Your solution is if you are creating a stand alone button to put on your forum, I don't think this solution will work or fit into the forums subscription feature.

Hi

Is it possible to use the paid subscription so that once the member has subscribed the can chose whether or not to see the adds on the forum if so could somebody show me how to set it up

Thanks

Not automatically, but you could make it hidden a certain membergroup.  Have that group requestable and then control who gets into that group.

[andycoll]

Hi
Thanks for the prompt response

I have set up the paid subscriptions so i have user group (forum supporters) but i cannot See an option to enable / disable adds for that group, is it another mod i need to set up to achieve this

[Rumbaar]

Well I take it you are using the Ads Management mod?  You'll have to modify the code for that mod, or ask/consult the support/comment thread and/or author to see how you might achieve this.

edi67, is this issue resolved yet?

There is no user specified amount for the subscription. Since it's called a subscription, there is usually a set price involved. If you want to have users pay any amount, you might want to look into using the Donation mod instead.

I don't think you can, you can try set it to say $1 and in the description have it that it's minimum but please choose how much on or above that you want to donate.

Or you might try the Subscription price varies on duration ordered and leave it blank for amounts.  Not sure if that would work (I haven't used this feature before).
