Is this right (sql query) for Paid Subscriptions

[doa24uk]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make it so that once a paid subscription is processed, my users reputation points are automatically updated to reflect the subscription they've bought (as well as their primary usergroup being upgraded).

I have 2 subscriptions set up.

Subscription 1 = 20 rep points
Subscription 2 = 50 rep points

Ok here's the idea for my (pseudo-) code. This would go at the end of payment_gateway.php if I'm not mistaken....

SELECT * from subscriptionlog WHERE userid=$userid AND status=1
// This gets all info about the subscription where the status denotes it as active (therefore if a user has previous expired subscriptions it won't grab them)

switch

case=1 {

SELECT * from user WHERE userid=$userid;

$newreputation = $row['reputation']+20;

UPDATE user SET reputation=$newreputation, usergroupid=10 WHERE userid=$userid;
{

case=2{

SELECT * from user WHERE userid=$userid;

$newreputation = $row['reputation']+50;

UPDATE user SET reputation=$newreputation, usergroupid=10 WHERE userid=$userid;

default;
//Something went wrong, do nothing;


Would this work or do I need extra error checking to make sure failed transactions aren't included in this??


Many thanks in advance, I'm quite desperate for this!

I've been looking at doing something similar myself. From my research into how the process works i'd suggest taking a look at class_paid_subscription.php.

line 338 contains a hook thats called once a user has completed payment for a subscription.


/**
* Creates user subscription
*
* @param int The id of the subscription
* @param int The subid of the subscription, this indicates the length
* @param int The userid the subscription is to be applied to
* @param int The start timestamp of the subscription
* @param int The expiry timestamp of the subscription
*
*/
function build_user_subscription($subscriptionid, $subid, $userid, $regdate = 0, $expirydate = 0)


Thats the method the hook appears in you would need to use $subscriptionid and possibly $subid in deciding what to do in your switch statement.

As a final note, try to use the vbulletin datamanagers for editing the users reputation as opposed to doing it manually.
