I am vB3.8, and confirm that this great product works perfectly!

Brought the 1.3 example featuring sideXside.ca up to date with the current site. It is looking fantastic! :up:

Thanks Lancer! :)

looks very good.
congrats.

please remove. Thought I had a problem but all is good after all :)

I currently run a mod that deletes any user who hasn't verified their e-mail addresses after 10 days (They are in Users Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroup.) Would this cause any conflicts with this mod? (I'm concerned about these "ghost" users)?

Generally, if you have another mod clean out users with unverified email addresses, it is best to make sure it does so at a frequency less than the Ghost User Expiry setting. This way, the Ghost Buster plugin gets to them first and removes them, and the second mod can deal with unverified email users unrelated to the paid registration mod. The default Ghost Buster setting is 1 week, so 10 days should be fine.

Thanks. :up:

Based upon your description above, shouldn't this be the other way around? :confused:

If you're saying you want the OTHER mod to clean out users AFTER this one, shouldn't the other mod's setting to clean them out LATER (number of days) than this mod be higher?

Regards,
Doug

Isn't that what less frequent means..? 1 week is more frequent than 10 days.. :p

I think I have a problem with PayPal communications, that might be due to this mod, as it appears it started with the very first user who subscribed AFTER I had installed this mod. :confused:

I've had two registered members use the normal subscribe screen and pay via PayPal. The payment went through and I received the standard PayPal acknowledgment, but no record of the payment was communicated back to vBulletin and there's nothing in either the transaction log or the transaction stats screens. :(

What should have happened, as it has for the last five years, is that after vBulletin received the acknowledgement from PayPal of the payment, it would have put it into the transaction log as being successful, then the registered member would have been added to the "Contributing Member" usergroup or, if he was just renewing for another year, it would have incremented his expiry for another year.

Here's an example of what's not working.

An existing Contributing Member paid via PayPal on July 8, 2011 to renew for another year. His user record currently shows under the subscriptions heading as 07-10-2010 to 07-10-2011. It says 07-10-2010 as the start date because that's the date he paid last year. Bottom line, the PayPal amount he sent on July 8, 2011 should have caused his user record to update so he would be covered until 2012 and it doesn't show that, plus there's no record of his payment in the transaction log, however, I did receive the PayPal acknowledgement separately and received the funds.

Here's all of the data that's showing in the transaction log for this member, since he's paid for the last three years. Changed or xxx'd out some information for privacy and security.

Showing Transactions 1 to 3 of 3
Processor Date Transaction ID Amount User Name Subscription Type
Paypal 18:15, 9th Jul 2008 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 25.00 CAD Username Contributing Member Charge
Paypal 08:43, 7th Jul 2009 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 25.00 CAD Username Contributing Member Charge
Paypal 07:43, 10th Jul 2010 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 25.00 CAD Username Contributing Member Charge

The last transaction log entry shows as being July 2, 2011 for any activity and there's been nothing since.

Conclusion... Paypal has stopped interacting with our vBulletin site since we've installed this mod? I don't know what else it could be since it's been working fine for 5 years and we've changed nothing else. Note: the built-in vBulletin PayPal communications test check works and passes just fine.

Until it get addressed, we can go back and use PayPal's acknowledgements to "hand fix" the problems.

Feedback is welcome ...

Regards,
Doug

exactly what I was looking for! Installed and (as far as I can tell) working fine on vB 4.1.3

Thanks for your fine work and continued development of this product! :)

AI4AI, you are welcome! :)

Doug, this mod does not affect payment processing in any way; there are no such plugin hooks for the mod to interfere with this process, so it most likely has nothing to do with this mod. A problem of this magnitude would have already been reported by someone else; all I can say is that this problem is isolated with either with PayPal, your configuration in vBulletin, or your PayPal account settings.

Thanks ... :)

I thought it might be better if I turned the mod completely off for testing to see what happens when someone subscribes next. So, I've temporarily un-installed it ...

The only other thing we did about the time PayPal stopped working with our vBulletin, was to activate an extra subscription amount under the current (one and only) subscription level we offer to the site. The only thing different from it, was the fact that it's a recurring yearly amount as opposed to a one time amount.

I'll leave that in-place for now and if the next subscriber transaction works, then there is some relationship with this mod to our site that's not working properly causing it. If the next transaction doesn't work, then the mod must be fine and I'll re-install it, but I'll also eliminate the recurring charge as perhaps it has something to do with that instead.

Appreciate your help ... :up:

Doug

Hi,
I am working on my first installation of vBulletin and was thrilled to find this mod already done. I only want guests to have to pay at registration time, and then they will be members. I have the moderate on registration turned off.
I have made the changes as indicated but my registration no longer kicks in.

So, i go to my forum and hit Register and I only get the login screen.

Not sure what I did wrong. Can you help?
Thanks
Val

Did you follow the installation instructions completely?

I can see only 3 instructions of which I did all. I am using the latest version of vBulletin 4.1.4.
I had a subscription set up called 'Membership'. It is the only one that shows up when I go to Subscription Manager.
I set the subscription permission to Yes for 'USers Awaiting Confirmation Email'.
I used Product upload to import the xml.
I changed the register.php and uploaded it to server. (see attached)

It seems simple enough.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Val

You seem to have followed the installation instructions correctly; sorry for asking, just had to make sure. :p

I *just* installed it on a fresh vBulletin 4.1.4 board today and could not reproduce the issue.

Thanks for going to all that trouble.
I had another version prior to 4.1.4 that I had begun to play with so I installed this mod on it, a 4.1.3 version.
I can see that it would be working there if I had the subscription set up fully.
So, there must be something I've set or a mod installed that may be interfering with your mod.

On the site where I am having problems, I do get the URL ending with register.php?do=select_subscription, so I know it is trying to access subscriptions, but I still get that same login screen.

Is there an easy way to debug this? or where do you think I should look? or what should I try?
Is this something that a support ticket would address or not really?

Thanks so much!
Val

Disable every every other mod and it should work. Then, re-enable the mods one by one until the problem reappears. You can find the source of the problem this way, at least.

Hi,
I only had one mod and it was not an installed type just a change to Forumhome to remove the 'What's Going On' information.
So, I reverted that and there is still the same problem.
Very frustrating! I have checked everything.
Thanks

I need someone to install this mod for diviji.com vBlletin 4.1.3 mail: kosekoray@gmail.com
ERROR CODE 329865343

Or how do we fix ERROR CODE 329865343

Check the mod description up top ^ ;).

has anyone encountered anyone trying to initiate a paypall dispute after sign up? if so why? and any way to protect against this? I really don't want any problems with my PayPal account.

Don't use PayPal. I believe Merchant Bancard uses the Authorize.net gateway which is supported by vBulletin. This way, Paypal is not the judge, jury, and executioner.

This is outside the scope of this thread though; open a thread in the relevant section.

---

On another note, the problem tweeker has encountered is rooted deep in vBulletin and is triggered by setting the global "Can View Forum" permission for guests to "No". A patch will be released tomorrow afternoon.

Please if you upgrade, you should also update to version 3.8.x

sorry to sound stupid but to upgrade to 2.1 do we upload the new attachment file via FTP and upload and overwrite the older verson via plugins as per usual??

Great mod thanks for all the effort and support much appreciated

TY for the response.

1 other thing, is there anyway to completely remove all instances of the

"Deferred payment types such as bank transfers and eChecks are only supported after registration; attempts to use them now will fail without further notice."

I am using this with another mod and any guest message causes a conflict, i have tried to edit the xml and remove a few instances of it. Maybe I am missing something? Possibly in an update a way to remove or be able to edit this?, even tho I know how to edit it, maybe others users do not and would like to say..make it a disclaimer message if they never plan on accepting echecks..

Works Great with 4.1.5!

Thank you for all your guys hard efforts.

One question though, and it might have been asked but I did not see it.
Can we change the order of the subscriptions on the register page?

What I mean is I want the Free to be at the top of the list.

I also noticed that if I selected Free and closed my browser (IE) and went back to the site the list does not show up again unless I delete my cookies. I don't know if you can do anything about that or not or if that is a vBulletin issue but I thought I would let you know.

This mod was coded to be very non-intrusive. The problem is with the other mod, and the author (or you) will have to fix that.

You're welcome!

Yes, you can move the free option to the top; check the options.

Regarding the cookie thing, this is not a bug. You are taken there on your next visit to the registration page in case you want to continue your free registration. If you want to see the list again, there is a link at the top of the form for you to go back.

Just wonder if you had any updates on this patch, a new time frame possibly?
Thanks!

2.2 has been released!

Thanks .. updated, allthough the version number in my AdminCP products listing shows as 2.3?

Also, have re-enabled this excellent product and started using it again, after almost a month hiatus while trying to discover why my PayPal automated subscriptions no longer worked. The vBulletin PayPal gateway handshaking was completely broken and I had to revert to manually handling Contributing Member subscriptions. Really frustrating .. :mad:

With the kind help of vBulletin staff, we traced it down to a PAID mod developed by DragonBytes called vbMail, which completely broke the exising PayPal vBulletin gateway and subscription process we'd been using for almost 5 years successfully.

Disabling DragonBytes vbMail mod fixed the problem, then they provided a temporary patch which fixes it permanently, I hope. I understand their next production release will have that fix in it, but until it's released, I'd recommend anyone using their vbMail product and also vBulletin's PayPal gateway, disable the product immediately and contact DragonBytes.

Now a question ... :)

Using this mod on the front end during registration, is there any way to add an additional subscription amount to a pre-existing list of choices, that could be called an "early bird" discount?

In other words, for anyone who subscribes during the registration process (and not later), they would get a discount off the regular subscription price, in our case, to be upgraded to Contributing Member Status. In essence, it's an amount that ONLY shows in the drop down list if the subscription is being done during registration.

It might help motivate people to contribute during that process, if they see some text explaining how much the save by doing it now.. etc ...

Thoughts?

Regards,
Doug

ps: More of you guys should be sending Lancerforhire a donation. I know that not everyone can afford it, but even some token small amounts add up, which helps motivate him to continue further enhancements and development. ;)

The 2.3 version number was a pre-assembly mistake; it should be fixed now.

Adding an additional subscription amount is an interesting concept. Maybe we can get something like this implemented in the coming weeks; no promises though!

Though not in the form of currency, I have gotten more out of this project than I could have ever hoped for, especially for my first public mod release. Watch out for my next major project; it's going to be intense. ;)

Thanks ... :up:

An early bird special pricing on registration only, might help us stimulate more folks to become Contributing Members overall.

Looking forward to your next project as well.... ;)

Regards,
Doug

Hi .. :)

Ok, I think I had my first attempt by someone to subscribe as part of their registration process, but I'm not sure ....

I've got a user called Pending Subscription 1 who registered this morning and are currently sitting in Awaiting Email Confirmation status .... (see pic)

Is this user related to this mod and am I supposed to do anything with it? There was no corresponding subscription taken out by anyone that's showed up on PayPal. :confused:

Thanks for any feedback ...

Regards,
Doug

Faq #6.

Hi. Great mod. :)

Perhaps HouseAddict was/is experiencing a similar problem to me - CSS rules applied via stylevars are correctly implemented on the new registration page, but those in my additional css template are not. FireBug reveals that these rules are not present on the registration page.

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks, Mike

Lancerforhire, you can at least tell me where I can include the option to add this mod in your product registration?
