Buy Thread: Pay to Post New Thread

[calorie]

This mod allows you to require payment from registered users prior to letting them post new threads. This mod also utilizes PayPal so you need to use PayPal's IPN and have your board set to accept PayPal payments.

The mod is good for those of you who want to set up some forums where users are required to pay a fee prior to making a new thread, such as for real estate, job postings, sale items, other types of classified ads, etcetera.

If you make any money from using this mod, I expect a cut. LOL, just kidding, but do click install should you use this mod. :D

[Daniel]

Cool idea, I could use this in the future. Thanks!

[domainaddicted]

Wow, been looking for this, was thinking about it and boom, thanks so much!

[wtrk]

its about time somebody made this! thanks calorie, you rock!

[FleaBag]

Nice addition. Hopefully will be able to sell access to my homepage news forum eventually. :D

[Stifler]

can you set which forums require purchase from to post and which dont?

[calorie]

Thanks for the thanks. :)

If there is something desired, just post, and if I have time, I'll see what I can do.

@Stifler: every forum has the on/off option, just check step three (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=48181&d=1148522188) of the readme.

[NiTRoN]

Maybe for future development being able to specify levels.. like for $5 u get 10 posts, for $10 u get 25... etc.. Admin would setup these options..

[glorify]

Perfect for Ticket Brokers wanting to hawk tickets. This hack is in high demand. Would work great with this hack as well:
Extra Thread Fields (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108888&highlight=extra+thread+fields)

Will this work for 3.5.0?

[bada_bing]

THis is a cool hack will look into it soon

[wtrk]

one thing i would like to suggest would be the option to allow or disallow replies to the paid thread or possibly paid replies (at a discount??).

[Zachariah]

Nice going C !!

[ChurchMedia]

Excellent! I've been waiting for a hack like this! Thanks!

[michaelbenson]

I have been waiting for a release like this since the advent of the "Paying The User To Post" modification. Great idea!

/me installs immediately.

[projectego]

Very cool hack, cheers! ;)

[hugh_]

Very nice work indeed! Is there a demo anywhere though?

Thanks...

hugh

[paul41598]

doesnt work for me. After payment, it redirects me back to the forum, I go into the forum, click new topic and asks me for payment again :(

[vbuser99]

I was waiting for this :knockedout:

[Mr Chad]

Nice job calorie :)

[calorie]

Thanks again for the thanks. :D

@glorify: can't check, don't use vB 3.5.0

@hugh_: no demo unless from someone else

@paul41598: is your PayPal account IPN on

[Bleys]

Been waiting for this for awhile. Thanks! :)

If you're looking for ideas... a credit system would be really cool, where people could buy credits and then use them in multiple forums (i.e., you could buy credits for $1 each, then posts in various forums would cost different amounts of credits) ... that way you could charge different amounts for different forums and people wouldn't feel like they were pigeon holed into one forum. :)

I'm sure that gets more complicated, but that would be a really sweet mod.

[paul41598]

Thanks again for the thanks. :D
@paul41598: is your PayPal account IPN on


It is on, and always has been. What is the Notification URL: supposed to be?

Right now it points to my forums/ppverify.php ?

Probably from some 3.0.7 series hack that I might have had? dunno

[hugh_]

Thanks again for the thanks. :D

@glorify: can't check, don't use vB 3.5.0

@hugh_: no demo unless from someone else

@paul41598: is your PayPal account IPN on

Calorie,

Is there any chance of applying this hack to calendar posts as well?

Thanks...

hugh

[Snake]

I'll be using this kinda like soon so thanks!

[calorie]

@paul41598: the Notification URL set in your PayPal account doesn't matter, as this mod uses the following:

<!-- in ptpnt_buythread_form template -->
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="$vboptions[bburl]/buythread.php?do=paypal" />

When you get to the page that gives the total, before you click the purchase button, view the HTML source.

Look for the following and make sure the hidden input tags are correct, and if not just edit the template.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

If everything looks okay, make sure there isn't anything like a .htaccess file blocking the PayPal IPN postback.

@hugh_: not sure if I'm up for another hack ATM, but maybe later.

[paul41598]

That did it Calorie. It was because I was testing this on testforums and using htaccess to block it. Its always something obvious huh? Works great. Thanks for the troubleshooting. ;)

Thanks for sharing :)

[ramone_johnny]

OH man! Ive been looking everywhere for this!!!!

TOP STUFF!

RJ

[TomJames]

This is prefect! Im testing it now :D hope to implement it soon.

*installs*

[ramone_johnny]

Err, I just carried out the install, and while everything looks to be ok - nothing happens, althought Im logged in as admin. Could this be why?

Nevermind - I didnt have the bloody option turned on! :p

RJ

[angB]

Two questions:

Is there a way to add thread rule/purchase policy to this so when they purchased a thread they could agree to the purchase policy?

Is there a way to have vBulletin automatically promote a member to a higher usergroup when they purchase a thread?

Thanks!

[furst]

I haven't read the 3 pages of this thread so this may have been suggested already.. but don't you think it would be more practical to select only the forums you want this enabled for instead of the other way around?

Great hack btw. Will install this sometime in the future.

[klaush]

Well, well, well...; one of my top 3 hacks! Thanks!

Is it possible to involve other payments as well? So to give the user the possibility to purchase via his bank account?

[jwparker]

If a member decides not to use all their purchased threads, is there a time limit for when they can no longer use them?

Awesome hack by the way....

Jed

[Virtuosofriend]

Well, well, well...; one of my top 3 hacks! Thanks!

Is it possible to involve other payments as well? So to give the user the possibility to purchase via his bank account?
just attach your bank account to your paypal and voila you have bank account and paypal linked together.

Awesome hack by the way.

[ramone_johnny]

HI guys,
When trying to place a new thread i receive ...

Invalid Payment Processor specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Is this because Ive missed something in the Payment API Manager?

I ran the paypal connection test and it passed.

Could someone please help me out here?

Also could the inclusion of a replacement button happen on forums with this mod applied so that it reads "Place an advertisement now - only $9.95" or something instead of just "new thread"

RJ

[calorie]

Go to vB ACP -> Paid Subscriptions -> Payment API Manager -> Edit Paypal and make sure the following are set as indicated:

Title: Paypal
Active: Yes
PayPal Email: your paypal email for buy thread payment
Paypal Primary Account Email: your primary paypal email

[ramone_johnny]

Go to vB ACP -> Paid Subscriptions -> Payment API Manager -> Edit Paypal and make sure the following are set as indicated:

Title: Paypal
Active: Yes
PayPal Email: your paypal email for buy thread payment
Paypal Primary Account Email: your primary paypal email


Sorry to have to clarify but would this be...

PayPal Email: my actual username at my domain name like wiggle@wiggle.com.au?

And the primary - is that the same?

RJ

[calorie]

Don't know your primary, you'll need to check: PayPal -> Profile -> Email ;)

[ramone_johnny]

Aha!

That was it - I just had to enter my paypal email account and wala!

Thanks so much for this buddy - great hack!

RJ

[ramone_johnny]

Im SO EXCITED!!!!

Ca Ching!!!

[ramone_johnny]

Calorie,
I now have this working but would like some small ammendments if possible.

At the moment the screen reads Price Per Thread 1.00 AUD however could you please change this to $1.00 with the '$' in front of it?

id do this myself - but am new to php (Im an asp/sql server coder)

Thanks buddy,
RJ

[ramone_johnny]

Oh and replace the new thread button with "Post your Ad now for $9.95" or something.

RJ

[masterross]

hi,

i've installed this hack
but can you explain me after member made payment how will be activated for posting?

thanks

[masterross]

Can this hack works with world pay too?

thanks

[Slave]

Fantastic mod! Thank you :D

[Slave]

Oh, one question ..

Is there a way of testing the Paypal functionality of this mod without having to have 2 Paypal accounts?

[bchertov]

I hope your a planning to port this to 3.6 as soon as it goes gold (if not before!)

[Princeton]

I love this ... great product. :up:

[inspiration100]

lol, you should default the settings to your paypal, you might just get some money :P. Thanks, and installed!

[NetworkTown.Net]

Any one got a demo? is this the hack used at sitepoint marketplace ? if so im installing it ;)

[Marcus Lau]

do u mean that they will be able to make new thread once they made their payment?

[dacho]

It's work for specific forum or for all board ?

[laskos]

well i cant get this to work, ive done all the above... has anyone got it to work

[laskos]

ok got it to ask for payment, but when someone pays it takes them back to the site home page and not where they where wanting to post ?? any ideas

[bigtime]

Can anyone confirm that this works on 3.60?

Thanks,

Tim

[BobbyBig]

Great work, will install it today :)

[bchertov]

Can anyone confirm that this works on 3.60?

Thanks,

TimDitto! And what's become of our kind benefactor, Calorie????

[laskos]

ok got it to ask for payment, but when someone pays it takes them back to the site home page and not where they where wanting to post ?? any ideas

can anyone tell me how i fix this ???

[cihangir]

great hack, thanks for sharing it i ;)

i have only a small problem. on my forums the unregistered users have permission to post. but they can post without paying, though this plug-in is already activated. any idea, how to fix this problem?

thanks in advance.

[Webs007]

Could you mod it so you can apply it to certain forums?

So we could set up a Classifieds Forum... so they have to pay to post only there?

Webs

[marlita]

Can i use this with 3.6?

[R.Solutions]

^Agree.

I'd like to know that too. :)

[vahid1863]

i need buy with e-gold
help me?

[Make Money?]

Has anyone got this to work with PayPals 'micropayments'?

This would allow 5o cents per thread etc really SMALL payments..

Folks on my forum sell items worth well over $2,000 all the time, but if I asked them for one Dollar for a thread - they would threaten to all jump off tall buildings, leave for good or accuse me of being worse than a war criminal..

:rolleyes:

[paul41598]

I dunno, I couldn't get it to work on 3.6, but my situation might be special. EVERYTHING works great, right up until I pay and get redirected back to my forums. I get redirected back to the forum home rather than create a new post.

Which doesnt work obviously, cuz when I goto make a new post yet again, I have to pay. :(



N/M, I think it works now... :)

[Crazy Serb]

can anyone else confirm for sure if this works on 3.6.2?

[Hornstar]

Request. Integrate this into ebux/ushop/etc Then on the forum, have the option of letting them pay with paypal only, paypal or ebux, ebux only.

This would be cool.

Thanks. :)

[Crazy Serb]

damn... I have "Event Forums" installed and this doesn't work with that mod... since the Event Forums goes through calendar's "new event" form when submitting a new thread in the forum I want to charge for.

can this mod be modified to work with posts on calendar as well? pretty please?

I'll pay $20 for this modification for v3.6.3...

[dutchbb]

Looks like it's working in 3.6.2, i have installed and i can go to the paypal site,, but the pay process isn't tested because I can't pay myself on paypal.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :D :D :D

[ICY ICE]

I installed this on 3.6.2
Purchased 1 thread....posted 1 thread
Purchased 5 threads...posted 5 threads

***Now how do I get a refund for a transaction fee on PayPal....LOL


Thanks for the mod.

BTW: Link to website with Buy Thread (http://www.valleyscuba.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=48)

[Crazy Serb]

ok, since nobody is supporting this mod, or nobody is willing to take on this little task of integrating it with vb Event Forums mod...

let me ask it here -> are there any similar hacks to this one in this sea of hacks and mods?

anything that will allow me to charge users some fee for every calendar event posted?

[MajorFm.com]

[bchertov]

Bump - Has anybody used this or something similar to implement Pay-to-Post in 3.6????

[Lionel]

tell you what, i will contribute $20 aswell as i need this mod aswell... but i want a simple import process if im paying for it... :) Keep me updated...

Just move the redirect of the event forum new_thread_start to number 6, this way buy thread executes first. They are both at the same hook.

Shouldn't be too hard to replicate this plugin for calendar. At new calendar event start check to see if that calendar id is tied up with a forum that has buy thread activated. If it does, then kick in the buy thread option.

[laskos]

I desperately need this for 3.6.4 and i'll happily pay ?20.00 for it.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :D :D :D

sames here....would really love this mod.........

[imranbaig]

Can this work on specified forum ids only??
Probably wont be so hard? to do this??

[echamberlain]

I'm trying to implement a paid support section on our forum, to replace our ticketing system.

This mod is running fine on my 3.6.5 installation. Posters that were having problems with the mod, could you explain your issues?


Also, after purchasing thread posts, the default is to redirect back to the forumhome. Here's how to redirect back to the newthread page on a purchase or the forum if not.

Style Manager->Your Style->Edit Templates->ptpnt_buythread_form

Replace:


<input type="hidden" name="return" value="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php" />
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php" />


with:


<input type="hidden" name="return" value="$vboptions[bburl]/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$foruminfo[forumid]" />
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="$vboptions[bburl]/forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" />

[Dean C]

Just an FYI for those complaining this doesn't work. It does work, but the reason you have the illusion it doesn't work is because you're admins and threads are by default free ;) Log in as a test user in registered group, and it works fine, although transactions don't appear to be being logged.

P.S. thanks for the post above echamberlain, saved me 5minutes tracking it down myself.

[Dean C]

Another issue I noticed last night, was the logic for checking if the user is entitled to post any more threads is incorrect :)

[stwilson]

Has anyone managed to get this code updated???

[stwilson]

Updated for 3.6.8 is what I meant to ask. Ayone?

[Merriweather]

Is anyone successfully using this on 3.6.8?

[vB Crew]

Thanks for the hack calorie! I may install this later.

[stwilson]

This MOD is killer. Like Merriweather, I'm curious if there are plans to uplift this to 3.7???? When that happens I will be sending over a thank you payment. ;)

[lilgezuz]

I would also like to have this for 3.6.8 if possible

[bigtime]

anyone?

[Mr. Mooney]

Anyone know if this works with 3.7?

[jerett]

i have installed this on the latest version of VB 3.6.10 and thus far I can not get it to work. Regardless permissions set - when the user click to post a new thread - it simply states that they do not have the permission to post. There is not option to buy anything. It is set in the forum as on.

[nitromethane126]

Suggested feature: Offer discount based on number of posts. i.e. if someone is new to a forum or doesnt contribute much post-wise then charge $15.00 -- if they post alot of content and help alot of other people with their questions then $7.50.

[bigtime]

3.71 anyone?

[Goodman_2020]

i'll love to see this hack for 3.6.8 to 3.7.1 too! pleaaaaaaaaassse (i have it in admincp but nothing appears when i click new thread to test, on my 3.6.9 :( )

[phreak79]

I'll add to the chorus for such a feature on the latest vB.

[Jase2]

Hi guys,

I'm looking into this myself. If I end up having it, I'll fix it up for 3.7 then ask Calorie if I can release the updated version.

[redg8r]

Hi guys,

I'm looking into this myself. If I end up having it, I'll fix it up for 3.7 then ask Calorie if I can release the updated version.

Please Do!
I had this coupled with GARS (I think Calorie took that on too) & it made for a killer Classified ads system without the need to require users to buy a subscription, kinda pay as you go, so-to-speak.

The last release seems to work fine with VB 3.7x other than the security token issue.

Any recommendation on where to add the security token?

Thanks.

[Dave Hawley]

Great stuff, calorie. Thanks!

[MarkoP]

Works on my 3.7.2 PL2..

Only thing is I'd love the added ability to take away or give a credit. Paypal is notorious for not reporting back and giving the user credit. As well as other huge problems with paypal. In all these cases it would be nice to enable the user to make their post instead of having to give them a refund every time.

I'd pay someone to do this happily...

[MarkoP]

Someone please update this for 3.7.3....

How much money do you want?

[mmurtha]

Did anybody every get this Mod to work in VB 3.7.3?

Or did everyone abandon it? Man, it's a good mod, and I'd hate to see it not get updated.

I also know that some people have installed it on the 3.7.3 version without problems.

I keep getting this error:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

This is the only place in the forum I get this error to come up.

If someone has a fix for this problem, I'm willing to pay them.

Anybody?


Thanks ...

If the sec token is the only issue, then search this and Jelsoft's forum, it takes 1 line of code to fix. They introduced that in 3.6.10 IIRC.

Could you please post the fix here.

[mmurtha]

Could you please post the fix here.

Sure here it is:

you must update your template

In your Admin CP under Styles & Template select Search In Templates...

Search for:
HTML Code:
Code:
value="$session[sessionhash]"
In every template this occurs in add this line directly after the line containing the above, if it doesn't exist already:

PHP Code:
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
Save the template.

Thanks for this plugin. However, when I tried to use it on my forum, after clicking on "Submit", I got:

My vB version is 3.8.1.

Any idea or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

[microdot]

Is it possible to set this up so it takes reaccuring payments?

Thanks!

[ilrglen]

I want to not allow anyone to register unless they have a paid subscription. I do not want people even viewing my site for free. Would this system work for this purpose or is there something in 3.8 that I have missed that would do this without any add-ons? Help!

[garyion]

Buy Thread / Thread Rental -
are there alternative plugins that do a similar job.

We would like a version that allows the users to post 5 threads across a forum
within a certain prefix "Directory" for a certain amount of time - e.g. 30days - for $9.99

e.g Garyion's Pizza Offer

Through word of mouth etc at the restaurant we want the business to encourage replys & feedback on the offer.
We want them to moderate their own replys
over the month users leave feedback and a useful thread is generated for the Restaurant.
After a month the thread is closed and/or hidden.
The user can reactivate by buying an additional credit.

Ideally we would like the thread closing to trigger a request email sent to the business to reopen the thread for another 30days for $9.99 etc

any ideas?

[orcasea]

This is awesome!!

Thanks for the mod, it's totally appreciated :)

[dutchbb]

It works with VB 3.7 and 3.8 if you add the "security token" line as explained earlier in this thread.

Has anyone written anything to show the user his credits remaining?

I wrote a UserCP plug-in that shows all details of ptpnt purchases.

Mind posting the code?

Here's you go. Crude, and should be cleaned up, but it works for my purposes.

I sure wish Calorie would update this mod. It's one of very few things holding me back from vB4

Here's what the output looks like:134403


Here's the script: (I put a link to this in the misc section of the UserCP sidebar.)
<?php


// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'ptpnt_stat');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array('user');

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('USERCP_SHELL','usercp_nav_folderbit');

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
print_no_permission();
}

$userid = intval($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
$threadstatus = "";

$result=$db->query_read("SELECT f.title AS forum, sum(p.totalthreads) AS 'threads',
sum(p.totalpaid) AS cost, sum(p.livethreads) AS live FROM ptpnt_buythread p left join forum f
on p.forumid=f.forumid where p.userid=" . $userid . " GROUP BY f.forumid");

If (mysql_num_rows($result)){

while( $buy = $db->fetch_array( $result ) ) {
$threadstatus .= "<tr><td>$buy[forum]</td><td>$buy[threads]</td><td>$buy[cost]</td><td>$buy[live]</td></tr></tr>";
}
$result=$db->query_read("SELECT f.title AS forum, p.totalthreads AS 'threads',
p.totalpaid AS cost, From_Unixtime(p.dateline, '%b %d %Y %r') AS purchased
FROM ptpnt_buythread p left join forum f ON p.forumid=f.forumid
WHERE p.userid=" . $userid . " ORDER BY p.dateline desc");

$history = "";
while( $buy = $db->fetch_array( $result ) ) {
$history .= "<tr><td>$buy[forum]</td><td>$buy[threads]</td><td>$buy[cost]</td><td>$buy[purchased]</td></tr></tr>";
}
}

eval('$ptpnt_stat = "' . fetch_template('ptpnt_stat') . '";');

// start the navbar
$navbits = array('usercp.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'] => $vbphrase['user_control_panel']);
$navbits['ptpnt_stat.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']] = 'Purchased Thread Status';
$navbits[''] = 'Purchased Thread Status';

// build the cp nav
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');
construct_usercp_nav();

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
// eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template($ptpnt_stat) . '";');
$HTML = $ptpnt_stat;
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('USERCP_SHELL') . '");');

?>

Here's the template:

<div align="center">
<if condition="$history">
<h2>Thread Credit Status</h2>
<table class='ptpnt'>
<tr>
<th>Forum</th>
<th>Total Credits</th>
<th>Total Cost</th>
<th>Balance</th>
</tr>
$threadstatus
</table>

<h3>Thread Credit Purchase History</h3>

<table class='ptpnt'>
<tr>
<th>Forum</th>
<th>Credits Purchased</th>
<th>Total Cost</th>
<th>Purchase Date</th>
</tr>
$history
</table>

<else />

<h3>You have not purchased any threads.</h3>

</if>
</div>


Here's the query I execute directly when I need to know monthly totals:

SELECT DISTINCT FROM_UNIXTIME(dateline,"%M, %Y")
AS month, sum(totalpaid) as TotalPaid
FROM ptpnt_buythread
GROUP BY month
ORDER BY dateline

Thanks a lot man, I didn't feel like writing that out myself :)


I'm thinking I may hire someone to port this over to VB4 within the next couple months, I'll post the updated code when I have that done.

[dcg]

If anyone can update this hack for 4.0 please email me at adam@dcg.com, I will gladly pay for it. I will also pay very well as I need this updated.

[bitwise2000]

I'd contribute as well. It's the last thing keeping me from vB4.

[digweb11]

Anyone try this using vb4 ? Does it work?

I had it modified and it is working perfectly for me on vb4.

[bchertov]

Very Nice Site, dcg!

[ibwt]

can someone please post it for 4X

[BirdOPrey5]

can someone please post it for 4X

The problem is since this mod is not marked "re-usable code" no one who updates it is allowed to post it.

You are free to contact a coder, perhaps in the paid requests forum, and ask someone to update the mod to 4.x for your own use on your own forum. You would not be allowed to redistribute it.

[Coop56]

We need this mod or a similar one as well. It looks like a lot of people want this created for vBulletin 4.x. Let's get a group together to have this thing coded for vBulletin 4.x. Contact me if you are interested.

[Wilcox28]

If anyone has this mod updated I would love for you to PM me.

[majjed2008]

Me also please :

[RichieBoy67]

I am in need of this as well :)

[Lance K]

Has anyone found anything like this (or had something coded) for vB 4 yet?

If not, any coder that's able to make it and is for hire shoot me a message. :)

[bchertov]

I've been interested in this as well. One way of doing it to keep it simple would be to integrate paypal buttons to pay right inside the posting window for selected forums. It needs further design, but it could short circuit a lot of problems.

[Guru Samrat]

plz upgread this mod for 4.x.x

[Lpspider]

I'm looking for this for 4.2 also.

[ageurtse]

If someone have this mod for 3.2 i realy would like to have it.
