You can do it by creating a cancellation link to PayPal, but you'd need to store PayPal's subscription ID in the database. The cancellation link's made using the subscription ID. ;)

Yes and they would still have to log in :) so hence doing it themselves.

Yes, but they aren't having to look through there history to find the subscriptio nthey're wanting to cancel. If you make the link, which most site's I've seen do (at least where I've purchased subscriptions), it's a lot easier and more user-friendly for the end-user.

It's a matter of convenience for the end-user more than anything. ;)

Hmm, I do not see where it would be hard then..... I will look into it when I have time.

Sure, no rush.. It's not really a neccessity, but would be something that the memebers would appreciate having I'm sure. I know it's something I like to see myself when I purchase reocurring subs from a site. I don't have to dig through all the stuff at PayPal to find it if and when the time comes to cancel it.

I found a bug:

I'm running 3.0.1, and found the following that should be updated:

for includes/functions_subscriptions.php, in your text, there is:
in my vb 3.0.1, there is:
I installed it fine, just thought I'd let you know :)

That's not a bug, just something that's changed from v3.0.0 to v3.0.1 is all. The only difference that'll make is if you've renamed your index.php to something else and it's not a DirectoryIndex file. i'm assuming the author's using v3.0.0 when he made this. ;)

i know it's not a bug, but novice users would be confused with this, so I thought I'd update it :)

Absolutely brilliant hack! Thank you very much for sharing. If this works out well, I'll be sure to donate $ to your paypal account. Do you have a paypal account?

I have a yearly membership system. Can this be setup to make yearly transactions?

This looks like a great hack. Thanks.
