its been integrated as of 1.5.4
oh thnx

[mikeylikesitz]

it didnt seem to work for me since it was integrated, a user bought a paid subsription but didnt recieve the points. i didnt get any errors at all, so i dont know where to start.

It's working at vbplaza.com, I would try to reupload all of the files in the upload folder again and make sure its overwriting them.

If it still doesnt work, then we'll need to setup a debug session on MSN or so sometime to figure out the issue.

Well I can't see the link mikeylikesitz posted so how I can have my members pay by paypal for points?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Just add a new subscription in the Admin CP.

Admin CP -> Paid Subscriptions -> Add New Subscription

Enter some details like this:

Title: 5000 vbBux Points
Description: Purchase this item to receive 5000 vbBux Points

Then at the bottom, set how much you want your users charged in real $$.

Now, you have to set the points value so vbBux/vbPlaza will know to add the 5000 points upon this new subscription, so now go to...

Admin CP -> vbBux -> Manage Subscriptions

It should list the subscription you just added above, change the vbBux Points to 5000 or however many points you want them to receive and Save Settings.

That should be all you need.

It's probably best to set the subscription to expire in 1 day, this way the users can only purchase points once a day.

Thanks a lot for all this hard work.

This does not seem to be working on my website?

I already have contributor levels and members do pay to support the site. With the contributor levels I have added a POINTS value as attached.

I have had a few people make contributions and their contributions worked fine for everything but their vbBux points. My forums are a heavily modified vB 3.5.2. and vbbux 1.5.5

Thanks for any advise or help!

Edit to Add:

I made a separate "Donation" for the site to just buy points and tested it...

If I set the system to allow me to buy 1000 points for $1 and then actually pay for the donation through the system, I get the 100-points that come default with buying any paid subscription BUT I do not get the 1,000 points that I had paid for.

Also, where and how do I remove the taxes for subscriptions like this?

[Quarterbore]

Back up for the issue above...

can anybody confirm that they use subscriptions to give users points?

I have tried to chase the code but I have no idea where I need to start looking... this is a real PITA to have to manually credit each user with the vbbux points and they are not happy about the lag between the time they pay and I get to manually add them...

Even if I could get some advise on where this function or functions is done it would be a great start!

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

I'm unable to replicate this error. Do u have the latest version installed?

-CMX

[Quarterbore]

Now it is my turn to be swamped with things I guess... I will download a fresh copy and recheck all of my template changes but as far as I know I should have the latest....

I'll post again when I have verified that I have the newest and that all the mods are correct.

[mikeylikesitz]

i have the latest and still have the same issue that Quarterbore is having, not sure where it is going wrong. i get no error and no warning that something went wrong.

[Quarterbore]

That makes me feel better as I thought I was the only one... I was out of town last week for a business trip so I have not had a chance to look at this more. It looks like the problem is in the code where the points are awarded as everything else is working...

If I could get some advise on which script, hook, or ??? where the points are awarded it might make it easier for me to try to debug this...

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

The hook that is used by vbPlaza is called paidsub_build

I dont understand what could be the issue as it was working for the longest time and hasnt been changed to my knowledge, hmm.

Is the file you'll want to use for debug sessions
/plugins/vbplaza_paidsub_build.php

If u find the issue, please post it here so I can fix it in the release.
