Thanks for the offer :) I've read the stock subscription code several times and am not seeing any clear problems. I am starting to wonder if it's a sporadic issue on the pay-pal side.

I am not sure, but I just got a few subscriptions in and it didn't put them in the new usergroup...I had to do it manually...:)

speedpro - email me your paypal.php file please. If none of them are working for you, I have to wonder if you got the changes in correctly.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if its possible to add a small addition to this mod? When the renew is due (a few days before and possibly on the day), it emails the user informing them what will happen?

Cheers,
Matt (using 3.0.3 btw)

That's built into 3.0.7. If you don't want to upgrade your entire board, just get the new code and make the necessary changes to the subscriptions related files.

In addition, that wouldn't be an add-on for this hack. That would be a separate hack of its own. Given the issues this hack has had in the past and the problems some people have with subscriptions in general, I'm not sure this thread is the best place to discuss added subscription features.

I've been using this hack ever since it came out and never had a complaint so far. :)

Erwin, the problems I've had have never been with this hack per-say. It's with the paypal subscriptions themselves, even unhacked. Since I started using VB3 beta, a significant percentage of subscriptions never process - and that's with stock vbulletin. I'm not the only one with this problem, but it's been ignored for more than a year now by Jelsoft.

That's PayPal's side. If that happens once, or twice, re-add your URL that it uses thingy-ma-jick in the PayPal Options.

On a side note, I'm asking for a quick feature!

Unlike the "basic" subscription (unedited basically) that already comes with vBulletin, it puts in the users forum name in this area. Could you add this to the mod please? If not, I have to rely on them using the same email address for their PayPal + Forum Account and not everyone does that.

And as stated above, if the account is changed by the forum, I then have to ask publically who sent me the money and thats a bit of a breach of privacy!

Cheers if someone can understand my request :up: :cool:

Matt

This is what I mean, this is the unedited subscription mail from paypal:

Somebody already released what you are asking for. Do a search and you should find it.

It's probably to do with your server/ host communicating with the Paypal IPN.

My site has never had a single Paypal subscription problem, except for when it so happens that my webservers are down for maintenance.
