Cel Sponsors/Subscribers on Forumhome
 

This mod will show the subscribers of a given paid subscription at the bottom of your forumhome in the What's Going On block. I'm using this to show and thank my forum sponsors.


Features

• Show subscribers of one, more or all paid subscriptions in WGO on Forumhome (default: subscription with the ID 1)
• Users who themselves are subscribers:
  • can be shown a thank you message (phrase, completely customizable)
  • will see the date their subscription(s) expire(s)
  • can see their username colored, depending on when their subscription expires (customizable, defaults: one week before->green, three days before->red)
• Admins will see the subscribers sorted by expiry date (closest expiry date first), color markers as described above and the actual expiry date as a tooltip.
• New in 3.8.003: show sponsors to certain usergroups only
• New in 3.8.003: limit numbers of sponsors shown in list (randomly selected, current user always showing), show "see all" link to selected usergroups
• Other customzation: box title (phrase), icon, box title and icon link
• Note that the mod adds another query to forumhome (alltogether two, then) if you decide to show the subscription titles. If you choose not to, the mod will simply assign numbers to them.

Installation

• import product file
• go to AdminCP->Options->Cel Sponsors/Subscribers on Forumhome and do settings

Templates and phrases used (for customization only)

• forumhome_cel_sponsors: the template for the whole box
  • calls phrase cel_sponsors_title: The title for the box
  • calls phrase cel_sponsors_message: The thank you message for subscribed users
  • calls template forumhome_cel_sponsors_msgbit: the notices about subscriptions the current user has and their expiry date.
    • calls cel_sponsors_msg_single or cel_sponsors_msg_multiple, epending on how many subscriptions are active for the user
  • calls template forumhome_cel_sponsors_eachsub: the formatting of the line that lists the subscribers or a subscription
    • calls cel_sponsors_subusers: the formatting of a single username in the list and the seperator (default: comma)

I don't see anything after install!

Chances are you have either

• not added the right subscription ID in AdminCP (not: Usergroup ID!)
• deactivated the mod in AdminCP
• no subscribers yet to the subscription you defined
• a heavily customized skin. Check whether the template hook forumhome_wgo_pos2 is present in your FORUMHOME template

Screenshots

• AdminCP (new in 3.8.002)
• Guest or member who is not subscriber
• Member who is subscriber
• Administrator
• Member who is subscriber, multiple subscriptions (new in 3.8.002)

Version History

• 3.8.001: Initial release
• 3.8.002: new: show more/all subscription. Look out for new settings and extended templating/phrases
• 3.8.003: new: show to selected usergroups only, limit number of sponsors shown

Interesting :)

Minor bug fixed.

Screenshots added.

nice thank you ..... installed

Hey this is pretty good actually, none of that silly crap that you see copying each other.. well done, a unique addon :P simple too

can you tell it will work on vb3.7.2

I have no longer a testbed available with 3.7.x, but there's nothing I can think of that it should stop it from working with that version. Just give it a try - it's fast installed and, if there should be issues, fast deinstalled :)

If you try, let us know :)

I just put up a testbed for 3.7 (had to fix all those PHP 5.3.0 issues since I run that on localhost :D), being interested in that question myself. Works fine and dandy. Going to release it for 3.7, too.

Will this by chance work with AW Coding's Subscription System?
This looks like a potential Nomination for sure. Just wondering because im using that product also.

Sorry, I can't say, since I don't use and don't know the mod you mentioned. If it puts subscriptions in vB's subscriptions table, it might work - if not, then not ;)

oh well either way i know it will work on my new board and will report back on my findings with subscription System Mod. *Installed* and Nominated. :D

mmmm I managed to install this (it's so easy) but where do you edit the message? The configuration does not show anything to edit the default message people see when subscribed...

Thx

It's a phrase (as the mod description clearly states...). Edit in AdminCP phrase cel_sponsors_message.

I have installed it but dont see any change in the forum home.......
Do I have to manually create the payments.php?

No. payments.php is a vB standard file.

Chances are: You have either

• not added the right subscription ID in AdminCP
• deactivated the mod in AdminCP
• no subscribers yet to the subscription you defined
• a heavily customized skin. Check whether the template hook forumhome_wgo_pos2 is present in your FORUMHOME template

I have checked and found

In my skin forumhome_wgo_pos2 is present in the FORUMHOME template
where can I define the subscription?
It is activated in Admin Cp
I just typed the usergroup ID there...

I have a usergroup named Subscribed Users which ID is 11......
I put them manually in this group while they pay.....

You have to insert the ID of the subscription, not a usergroup ID.

Nice idea to showcase and thank subscribers. :)

Is it possible to add more than 1 subscription ID?

Ideally i'd like to display all of the paid subscription types.

Not at the moment. I'll note that down for a possible future version (no promises).

Please add to "cache_templates" your template 'forumhome_cel_sponsors' ^^

Thanks for releasing :D

- bugfix: template not cached (fixed)
- new feature: now handles more or all of your subscriptions
- now fully templated and phrased for all kinds of customizations

Thanks for fixed bug :)

Update my site ^_^

nice mod.
what about a cutting number, like last 30 subscribers only etc?
imagine you have 1000 subscribers, will occupy pretty much space.

I'll think about it, seems a good suggestion. One would have to make it random, so not the first x subscribers get displayed always.

Best mod ive found thanks love to let the members of our board know how much we valve them!!!
many thanks

This mod is now also available for vB4:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228095

OK I like this mod bud because of the additional queries this uses how can I set this up so that only certain user groups can actually see this mod? I dont think that non registered users should add additional queries or have the ability to see this data.

Also needs to only show a set limit of users, may uninstall until these features are added.

The vB4 version has both features. I'll look, if it's not too much work, I'll implement them for the vB3 version, too.

Awesome thanks..

Question though.. If I click the "see all" and now it show all my site sponsors does this get reverted back to limited view if I have only to display 20 when I logout and log back in or is the "see all" not perminent?

The show all is not permanent, of course. No need to log out or anything, just browse away from the forumhome and come back or remove the parameters added to it by clicking the link.

...

Very nice cellarius... look forward to implementing this within the gold version.

3.8 has been gold long ago ;)

(you probably meant the vB4 version, I gather :))

How do I make all the member names display based on the color defined in their usergroup similar to the whois list?

This is not possible with this mod atm.

any chance of a widget code of vBa CMPS, please? :)

Since I don't use it: No :)
