Hi,

Someone suggested that a hook could be used to call a custom script once a paypal subscription payment has been completed ( in IPN script ).

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

John

Just guessing but you can try the 'paidsub_complete' hook.

Hi Marco,

Can I make a call to the idevaffiliate sale.php (via CURL) from a hook?

site.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?idev_saleamt=$payment_amount&idev_ordernum=xyz&ip_address=IPADDRESS

You can run (basically) any PHP code in a hook.

Thanks Dismounted. I figured out how to use Curl to call the link I need.

Does anyone know whether the 'paidsub_complete' hook is only executed on correct payment or whether it also gets called on for example payment re-post (mistaken re-post).

Thanks

John

I guess you could, but i have no experience with such a setup.

I am concerned that it doesn't get called on both - if so, I would be giving double commission - which is bad.

Just thought I'd drop in and leave a link to the plugin I created if anyone is interested:
