Here is how I was able to fix the problem of recurring subscription payment with this Mod -

AFTER UNZIPPING THE DOWNLOADED FILE, I LOOKED FOR FILE CybPayPalDonate.xml. SEARCHED AND REPLACED THIS -

Code:

        $cybpp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);

        $cybpp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$cybpp_get_amount[0];

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$cybpp_get_amount[1];

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';

WITH -

Code:

        $cybpp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);

        $cybpp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$cybpp_get_amount[0];

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&p3=1';

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1'; 

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&src=1';

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&srt='.$cybpp_get_amount[1];

        $cybpp_ppurl .= '&sra=1';

After saving the changes in CybPayPalDonate.xml, I logoned to VB Admin Control Panel
Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
Browse and select the modified CybPayPalDonate.xml
Select the radio button - YES - for "Allow Overwrite" VERY IMPORTANT
Click 'IMPORT'

I backed up the table vb_cybppdonate, templates cyb_paypal_donbar and cyb_paypal_donate (since I had customizations), but none of this was not necessary for my environment.

I used the following Paypal HTML variables information available at -

Page 165 to page 173 of the "Website Payments Standard Integration Guide" pdf document available on Paypal website.
Logon to Paypal Business Account > Products & Services > Recurring Billing > Manual > Subscriptions and Recurring Payments Manual

Some of the relevant information about the Paypal HTML variables is also available at -
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?c..._htmlvariables

The information about these variables to customize/fix this Mod (as shown above) were easily understood. Overall this is one of the best Mod I have seen.

Cybernetec,

Since others on this forum have asked for this fix for recurring subscription payment, would you like to review and consider these suggestions/changes to incorporate them in the next release of this Mod.

Thanks for your great work!
