I HAD a strange error from vB 3.6.0...

Problem resolved as posted below

Installed and works :)

thanks

had huge sql error uninstalled!! Ouch

OK, I got help from paul41598 on this but by changing the Latest Paid Subscribers pluggin to as follows this works 100% on my site (tested in 3.6.0. and 3.6.1.)

PHP Code:


		
			
// plugin by Paul41598



if ($vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers_reminder_on'])

{    

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND !$_COOKIE['lpscookie']) {

$alertdays = $vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers_warndays'];

$day1 = (TIMENOW + ($alertdays * 86400));

$getexpirers = $vbulletin->db->query_read("

SELECT subscriptionlog.userid, subscriptionlog.subscriptionid, subscription.subscriptionid, subscriptionlog.expirydate,

user.userid, user.username

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscriptionlog AS subscriptionlog, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscription AS subscription

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (subscriptionlog.userid = user.userid)

WHERE subscriptionlog.status != '0' AND subscriptionlog.subscriptionid = subscription.subscriptionid AND user.userid = ".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']." AND subscriptionlog.expirydate < $day1

ORDER BY subscriptionlog.expirydate ASC LIMIT 5");





    while($getexpirer = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getexpirers))

    {

      $expiryremaining = round((($getexpirer['expirydate'] - TIMENOW)/86400),2);

    $expirytitle = $getexpirer['title'];

    $expirydate = vbdate('F jS, Y', $getexpirer['expirydate']);

    eval('$expiryalert .= "' . fetch_template('expirydatebits') . '";');

    }

}

}



if ($vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers_on'])

{        

$show['subscribers'] = true;

$max = $vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers'];



$getsubscribers = $vbulletin->db->query_read("

SELECT subscriptionlog.userid, subscriptionlog.status, subscriptionlog.regdate, subscriptionlog.expirydate,

user.userid, user.username, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid,

usergroup.usergroupid, usergroup.title,

groupa.opentag as opentaga, groupa.closetag as closetaga, 

groupb.opentag as opentagb, groupb.closetag as closetagb

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscriptionlog AS subscriptionlog

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as groupb ON(user.displaygroupid = groupb.usergroupid)

WHERE subscriptionlog.status != '0' ORDER BY subscriptionlog.regdate DESC LIMIT 0, $max");





if ($vbulletin->db->num_rows($getsubscribers) > 0)

{

    $count = 0;

    while($getsubscriber = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getsubscribers))

    {

       

        $getsubscriber['opentag'] = $getsubscriber['opentagb'] ? $getsubscriber['opentagb'] : $getsubscriber['opentaga'];

        $getsubscriber['closetag'] = $getsubscriber['closetagb'] ? $getsubscriber['closetagb'] : $getsubscriber['closetaga'];



if ($vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers_dateselect'])

        {

        $expireson = vbdate($vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers_dateselect'], $getsubscriber['expirydate']);

        }

else {

        $expireson = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $getsubscriber['expirydate']);

     }



if ($vbulletin->options['latest_paid_subscribers_hoverover']) {

        $subscribers[$count] .= "<a href=\"member.php?" . $vbulletin->options[sessionurl] . "u=$getsubscriber[userid]\" title='$getsubscriber[username] Subscription Expires On: $expireson'>";

        $subscribers[$count] .= $getsubscriber['opentag'].$getsubscriber['username'].$getsubscriber['closetag']."</a>";

        $count++;

        }

    else {

        $subscribers[$count] .= "<a href=\"member.php?" . $vbulletin->options[sessionurl] . "u=$getsubscriber[userid]\" title='$getsubscriber[title]'>";

        $subscribers[$count] .= $getsubscriber['opentag'].$getsubscriber['username'].$getsubscriber['closetag']."</a>";

        $count++;

    }    



    }

    

    $showsubscribers = implode(", ", $subscribers);

    unset($count, $getsubscriber, $max);

    @mysql_free_result($getsubscribers);

}

}

The difference is in these TWO lines of code!

PHP Code:


		
			
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user ON (subscriptionlog.userid = user.userid) 

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)

My site uses PHP 4.4.1. and MySQL 4.1.21 in case that helps debug this... but it works 100% with those two "As" terms included!

Oh yea, did you mean to have you help link in your hack go to Google (as opposed to here?)?

Not sure if this a 3.6.2 issue, but I just intalled and now I'm getting database errors. If I deactivate the hack, I'm back to normal. I checked my Template edits... all there and correct according to the documentation.

Code:

I moved mine to ForumHome_start and it works fine and this code is not getting executed with every page view on the site anymore!

Thanks for the suggestion Quarterbore, but that didn't work. I'll just uninstall it for now and watch the thread for future releases, ot other solutions.

Thanks again!

Yes it's not working in 3.6.2

I get the same error.

Ok, I've done some major troubleshooting tonight folks.

It seems as though by making the changes that jgommel & I have come up with, it does solve ALL issues. I actually did a series of tests.

Installed 3.6.2 vbulletin WITH NO TABLE PREFIXES (Fresh Install), then installed the hack. Worked flawlessly.
Installed 3.6.2 vbulletin WITH TABLE PREFIXES (Fresh Install), then installed the hack, and got database errors.

So the issue lies with all you guys who have table prefixes configured in your database, via the config.php file.

I then made the above changes to my XML product, reimported and it worked fine. This hack WILL work on 3.6.1 & 3.6.2. If it's not, you have some sort of special case, which I can examine further via PM.

Thanks again! ;)

I'll ask again... Why do you have this hooked off Global Start? This is only used on ForumHome, right? It seems crazy to run this on every page users visit when it is only needed on that one page!

It works fine on my site relocated to ForumHome_start!

I had the same problem with everybody, but changing it as per the post fixes it

Since it's at global, I can use it on a vbadvanced page right, providing I put the variable in the vba globals?

Ok everyone,

I've updated the XML file with the SQL bug fixes, and put it a more suitable hook location.

Please download the above zip file ( latest paid subscribers 1.1 update.zip )

how would I go to make message appears on vbadvanced?

Now I've never created a vbadvanced module before, so bare with me. However, below is the module I created. I've tested and it seems to work on my forums. Just follow the directions and hopefully it will work for you too. ;)

Maybe for the Reminder to dispayed in all pages

Okay, this time around it installed just fine. Thanks for the update paul41598. I hope you don't mind, but because I'm meticulous about appearance and placement. I decided to code this into it's own FORUMHOME "What's Going On" box and remove it from within the "Currently Active Users" box.

For those who want to do the same, here's what I did...

Disregard Step 1 (Edit Templates) in paul41598's instructions and instead, do this...

Template Name: forumhome

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- end logged-in users -->

</if>

Add below:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- Latest Paid Subscribers -->

<tbody>

    <tr>

        <td class="thead" colspan="2">

        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('paid_subscribers')"><img id="collapseimg_paid_subscribers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_paid_subscribers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

        <phrase 1="$show[subscribers]">$vbphrase[last_paid_subscribers_display]</phrase>

    </tr>

</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_paid_subscribers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_paid_subscribers]">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="Paid Subscribers" border="0" /></td>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$showsubscribers</div></td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$navbar

Add Below:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$show['subscribers']">$expiryalert</if>

Continue with Step 2 (Load The Product)

I'm going to look at your vBAdvanced module too and see if there's anything else I can do to it as well.

Thanks!

Sensite info blocked out. I have followed this to a T and this is the sql error I recieve. I use php and sql 5+.

Did you download 'latest paid subscribers 1.1.zip' or 'latest paid subscribers 1.1 update.zip'

Uninstall the one on your vBulletin board and then Download the 'latest paid subscribers 1.1 update.zip' from here and install this one.

Tried both. This is the error with the update one. (Minus sensitive info)

Tried both your files, got db error on vb3.6.2 Read about your fresh install, unfortunately have too much stuff already installed to go through all of those again, but nice try all the same.
Had a similar product working in earleir vB version and it was gr8!!
I'll keep an eye out for any updates you release...

If you don't mind... I would like some help changing the hover from the "Subscription Expires On DATE" to a message that says "Subscription to "SUBSCRIPTION NAME" on DATE"

For new subscribers, it isn't urgent that they resubscribe... but I would like to recognize them for their contribution as I have several levels of contributor!

Also, I tried to move the pluggin code for the subscription expiring to a new pluggin and I hooked it to global_start. Then I used the template change and added the notification to SHOWTHREAD template.

It works for a base install but it will not work on my site because of the way I use vbAdvanced (my site is linked below). I'll figure it out one of these days...

How do I set the message shown to users when there subscription is about to expire.

I searched for the phrase expiryalert and did not find anything.

Yip same here..Running 3.6.4 ... also if you have more than 5 selected it takes the width of the forums way beyond what it should be and you need to scroll instead of starting a new line?

Great Hack thou ..

There, search for the code that indicates the begininng & end of the What's Going on box. It should begin like this:

My What's Going On box is modified so yours might not look the same, but be sure to copy all code between  & comments.

This looks like a great hack, but is there any update on those sql errors and such like, and also the issue about a forumhome only query? I don't need this to be a global call.

And yes, I am aware of the previous discussion, but subsequent posts also report errors, and I prefer to work from the main installation post knowing that it is a relatively stable hack.

the updated zip file has the hook location at forumhome. The hack works.

b.t.w, for those who cant edit the phrase directly through the hyperlink, you can fix it by editing the phrase: (setting_latest_paid_subscribers_desc)

and change:

&e[1]
