Thanks, good point. Except when I did the search and replace, the code that I found matched exactly what was supposed to be there.

Can you recommend how to handle this? I really want this plugin. Shall I ask the original poster if they have this working still on their forums and using 3.8 now?

Yep, that's the cuase of action :)

OK, I confess I rechecked and found a wrong insertion point for the subscription template. It works now, with 3.8.4.

Hi,

can You explain what exactly is to do?

Thanks!

Hello,

i installed this AddOn in version 3.8.4.

There was 1 thing wrong in the payments.php

do NOT add after:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('paidsub_order_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

i added it after:
if ($_POST['do'] == 'order')
{

//=== HACK: GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS ===//
if ($_POST['giftname'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['username'])
{
$goo=$db->query_read_slave("SELECT userid from ". TABLE_PREFIX ."user where username='".$_POST['giftname']."'");

if ($giftee = $db->fetch_array($goo))
{
$subid = $giftee['userid'];
$subusername = $_POST['giftname'];
}
else
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('pminvalidrecipien t')));
}
}
else
{
$subid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$subusername = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
}
//=== HACK: GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS ===//

Then i modified the template: subscription_payment

locate: <td class="panelsurround" align="center">
<div class="panel">
<div align="$stylevar[left]">

AFTER that, add:
<div class="fieldset">
Subscription for: <strong>$subusername</strong>
</div>

Ok, so it works

Anyone got the updated instructions to get this working for VB4? Many of the code syntax is now changed for the variables manipulated for the GIFTNAME...but I have not learned the new syntax yet.

i would also be interested in this for VB4

I'd love to see this implemented into vB4 too, I don't know why it's not a core feature tbh.

My team updated this for 4.0.2

Thanks for the original mod jamoss!

Any ideas how to fix it so that "special" names work?

For example: <[X]> will not work as an accepted username.

What do I need to edit in order for this mod to support special characters?

Fixed:

Replace:
$goo=$db->query_read_slave("SELECT userid from ". TABLE_PREFIX ."user where username='".$_POST['giftname']."'");

With:
$sqlname = htmlspecialchars($_POST['giftname']);
$goo=$db->query_read_slave("SELECT userid from ". TABLE_PREFIX ."user where username='".$sqlname."'");
