vBDiscounts - Give subscription discounts to your members!

vBDiscounts v1.0:

This hack allows the user to input a discount code that deducts the value of it from the subscription costs before they go to pay for a subscription.

For example:
1. You advertise for new members and have and advert saying 'Join before the end of April and get $10.00 off the first month! Just register and enter discount code 10OFF"
2. In Admincp -> vbDiscounts you configure a discount called 10OFF with value of 10, and set a date for the validity of the discount.
3. User registers, and enters discount code 10OFF on the payments.php page. The page updates the normal subscription prices to reflect the offer. Then they go to pay for it.

Notes:

1. Since the offer code expires when you set it to, the users will not be able to renew with that discount unless the subscription runs out before the discount validity does; thus it's better to use short-validity discounts and constantly change them.
2. The value of the discount in the Admin Panel is given as a monetary value, e.g. a discount with value 3.50 will give $3.50 (?3.50; ?3.50, depending on currencies activated) off paid subscription before the user goes to pay for it.

Features:

* Fully working on vBulletin 3.8.x
* Manage Discounts: Singly Add/Edit/Delete; Mass-delete.
* Set discount valid for particular subscription ID's.
* Limit use by date or times it can be used.
* Mass-Generate discounts for distribution.
* Generate discount discount codes and post to a new thread in a specified forum. A message may be sent with the codes. You can decide the thread title too.

thanks, I may have a need for this in the future.

Nice work, thank you!

Installed

This rocks!

This is very very cool indeed.

But as i installed the vB coupons (3.6version) and got it working, ill keep that installed for now.

Great idea for a mod. I'll definitely be able to find use for this. Cheers!

I just thought of a feature that could enhance this modification alot! ^^

Is it possible to have a coupon that changes the length of the subscription?

eg. I have a subscription that goes for 1 year. I set up a coupon, and when the user enters in the coupon they end up getting the subscription for 2 years. or 10 years. etc.

This is great!! I will be installing this very shortly!

can I do it for a percentage off instead of a money amount?

ok so why when I create a discount code, nothing appears on the payment page where they can input a code for the discount?

I'm having the same problem..
I'm not sure why.

Me too

Sorta.

Let's say you want to do 10% off of $25, you would put 2.50 for the discount (which is 10%).

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be showing for you two unless you both have modified subscription templates.

Nope. No modified template. You can check to see.

99.9% sure I dont.

Hi, installed this with no problems on the install,

One thing i've noticed is when I set it to discount on Subscription ID 3 .. it also knocks a smaller amount off the other IDs ..

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is a problem I'm trying to sort out with vBulletin itself, the best thing I can suggest is to closely monitor the subscriptions for now.

Ill have to leave this as disabled on my site until you have a fix for it, ill keep an eye out for the next version, is a very good mod, really could use it. So ill wait for next fix :)

Thanks

I have no edits, ive installed a fresh vbulletin starting my boards from scratch lol.

I still need my problem fixed :/
Doesn't show up.
I've tried several times.

PM your admin info, I'll take a look.

Same here..
At payments template nothink show up.

You have to post install steps here :|
I just show the .nfo file

I make the edits and works fine.

Suggestion..
Please make it work with discount x% and not -$

I still cant get this to work. It shows in the admin cp, i made a discount code but nothing shows on the subscriptions page.

thanks for this!
though after adding the coupon to the subscription and going to paypal, paypal screams:
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.

Hi, is it possible to join this mod, a form to field for example with name, adress, others, to use in a forum where the subscripton is for membership?
A member makes it through the registration form, this form would be submitted to a forum id designate.
It´s possible?

Sorry my english.

Obrigado.

can discounts be used for registration and without subscription and only for existing members to advance userroup?

I haven't had much time as of late. If nothing is showing up in your payments.php, open your subscriptions template & put $discountsbit at the very bottom.

Mod is complete fail for me as well.

Installed on 2 board, nothing in the template after posting the $discountsbit.

Installed on fresh vb, and still thing.

Mod = Fail & uninstalling.

bump...

yet just another unsupported mod.
uninstalling....

I concur....

Really sad too, this is one of my most beneficial mods. :down:

Almost 2 months later...and no response from the author. Sweet.

Kick this mod to the garbage as it doesn't work as author states.

Ok in hopes that the author will show back up, is it possible to give a free months subscription with this mod?

Warning... If you use this tool to offer a rebate it's fine, but the functions assigned to the subscription will not be processed automatically as the subscription will complain about an invalid amount (amount paid does not match amount configured in subscription) and will not kick into action...

Such a good tool, such a poor working system...
This was just a quick idea poorly executed...

the tool is with vBCoupon identical...es only the names have been replaced (coupon "» discounts) …the code itself is unchanged!¡!

checked with Beyond Compare...

nAsH

I am getting the same error message. Whats the solution for this?

Any update? Thanks.

Does anyone actually have this working??

I have it installed for a client and all the templates are ok but discounts are not going through to PayPal once a member is redirected there..

Thanks
