I agree I'm holding off updating to vb4 until this mod has been updated as it's brilliant and cant run the site without it :(

Hello

This is a very nice product and of course it resolves many admins difficulties and give lot of flexibilities for any design combination.

I need any help or idea to resolve a problem.
I have one VIP zone which is coming for a specific period active by auto Paypal Paid Subscriptions. If the time period expired, then the VIP member is coming back to the simple group member.
I point to that for saying that after the subscription, the VIP is the Primary group, and the additionally group is the member.
So now the problem is, that if I set in a webtemplate permission access only to VIP, they havent access at all in any way, they can have access if they are specified only as VIP without additional group.
Thats mean If I will do so, I cant control automatic when their subscription has expired.
I have tried all the combinations in webtemplates session "Page Security and misc" settings but nothing give me the solution.
I use the default VB Subscription Manager of VB3.8.4, and I upgraded to 3.8.5 for any good luck but still nothing.

I will be VERY appreciated for any info to resolve this problem.

Thanks

Robby

Two questions. Please excuse me if you've answered this before:

1) Can this be used in 3.8.2?

2) I'd like to personalize the message that appears on the page that appears. For example, I'd like it to say "Welcome $Username." Can that be done? How?

First line of opening post: This hack is for vb version 3.7.x & 3.8.x ONLY, so yes - you can use in 3.8.2

Have a look at the "test" web template for an example on using username variables etc (which is $user_username by the way)

Oops -- didn't see this before. Thanks.

If it is possible for you to NOT make VIP members part of "Member" usergroup, this will solve your problem but I'm sure you thought of that so I assume this is not possible. :)

The other solution would be changing how hack's permission system works as described in Post Installation FAQ Question 24.

Hate to be perceived as a nag....but...

...any update as to when this may or may not be vB4.x readied?

I'm sorry this is taking so long. I'm working on this porting and there will definetely be a vb4 version but when my real job kicks in, I have to take this project aside till I get more available again. So as I mentioned previously, I can promise there will be a vb4 version but I can't promise when.

Thank you I resolved my problem by the combination you promote me.
Thanks again and keep good work
