vBPurchase 1.0c.fl1
 

FULL RELEASE!

**ATTN**
USE THE FIX LIST ---> AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE COMPLETED EACH STEP BEFORE INSTALLING. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED, JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO THEM SOON.

For those of you with other versions installed please upgrade using the upgrade_OLDVERSION_NEWVERSION.txt and everything will workfine.

READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE POSTING AND BEFORE DOWNLOADING:
This is not a beta anymore, but it is for capable, expirienced users only. This can be used as a final product, but it is not meant to be a final product. Users will proabably want to add some features for their own forum to meet their unique needs.

Overview:
This is a purchase/member area hack for vBulletin that is integrated with paypal. It comes with no warrantee, no installer, and limited support. It has been tested on all 3.0.x versions and is working (for the most part).

Bugs:
- I did not include admincp phrases
- There are problems when usernames contain '

Suggestions:
- Custom order fields

Notices:
- There is no support extension, but this hack does automatically add users to a new usergroup if you want it to, and therefore you can have a support forum for your users who have actually purchased items.

Thanks shah :)

nice release mate *install* :)

enjoy ;)

Perhaps this should be in the Beta forum for the time being while the bugs are found and fixed? :)

Thanks for deciding to share this with us though.!

I'd just like to see a demo or screenshots

I marked it as 'is in beta stage.'

If someone wants to provide these, they can.

Check out the PayPal Sandbox.

You can create as many test accounts as you want.

I tried, I dont have a credit card.

Since you indicate that this hack should be considered to be in a Beta stage, i took the liberty to move it to the Beta Forum. If you don't agree please say so with a motivation.

purchase.php?do=ipn
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 1946

and you can not add products

I dont object. I am confused as to why there is a "mark as beta" and a beta section. Is there a difference?

No user is ever supposed to access do=ipn, that is for paypal only.

Yes, you can. You must mark the product as "active."

Hmm yes, i can understand the "Is in Beta Stage" is a bit confusing. That option was introduced solely for vB3.5 Beta hacks. For 3.0.7 we are already for a long time working with a Beta forum.

btw purchase_panel template in purchase.php doesnt exist

seems you forgot it :)

i see a reason for release, a status of work etc, but there is not a single way a description of the hack itself..

what is the use of this one ?!

screenshots would help

User

• to download products do it by membersarea
• auto close licenses after last day of it
• if updates of products can be dowloaded true membersarea

maybe the admin part whit only one place to put stuff to products all in one place ?

thank you thank you thank you, thank you. :D I have been looking for such hack/script for over a month now and today I login and here it is. I would be more than happy to help you test it out and also donate to this project.

I have successfully installed it with no problems so far. I just have to test the purchase and see if it does redirect to the file. But so far i have had no errors :)

Could you pleae provide a little more detail on what this actually does???

Does it allow users to post products or just admin??

For those that keep asking this, this is a store hack which is strikingly similar to the ones found at vbadvanced.com, vbcore.com, cinvin.com, go to their products.php page and you will see. ;)

It let's you add licenses/services/products and lets you sell each. You set the price and description from the admin, and it automatically appears in the purchase.php page, from their the user has the option to buy the product and once he/she has paid the price, they will be redirected to the page where they can download the file/license that they have purchased. Hope this descritption helps a little.

Like he has mentioned, you need to know what your doing and you are required to have a paypal account to install this hack, if you don't have paypal, then you pretty much can't use it I guess, not sure.

screenshots please.

Yes, its been uploaded now.

I haven't got the time.

Think about it this way, if you need this hack, you know what it is. If you dont need it... go to vbadvanced.com. It is very similar to that one.

No problem, I'm glad you like it. Just let me know when you do find bugs.

I have no idea what your asking. The products are available in the members area already, the license does close after the last day, and the updates of products are available in the members area. I am not sure what your getting at.

Personally I don't see what is so complicated about performing this install...... aside from the phrases not being included...

Where are the phrases???




who keeps asking this?? Am I missing something? Seems like a pretty new thread to me...

I had a lot of trouble helping people with vBDownloads - and all that required was an absolute path, so I decided to just warn people about this. I bet 8/10 users wont be able to set up their paypal account to work with this the first time, and because I only want to hear actual problems, I decided to discourage most ppl from using it. When all the bugs are fixed, then I will make a general release with an installer so that all users can use it.

Read the main thread. Next time your added to my "ignore" list.

It has been asked 3 times. No big deal.

Man, please do add me to your ignore list........ like I care... Actually, after that remark I don't even want to use this.....

I see its a matter of just opening and saving the phrases.. I just thought you forgot to include these......

hum... Ron1n, your actual behavior is not really the one of a guy wanting to share, you just insult people 3 times in 2 posts in your own release thread...

if you don't want to read questions, please don't release a thing, this will help you keeping your own peace of mind...

Makes sense that no one would want to buy from him.

This makes me feel good, A hacked that I paid ron1n to do (this exact one) I paid him $175.00 to create, and yet he is releasing it to the public...how nice

in the READ ME it says:
however there is no products.php included in the file. I assume that instead this is supposed to read:

I'm sorry, I don't see where I insulted anyone at all. Maybe I missed it, but I read back over my post and I didn't see any insults at all. As to not wanting to share, the only reason I released this was because I saw some interest for it and got several PMs asking for it. I am willing to share with everyone.

I never make phrases because I am lazy. My comment about ignoring you has nothing to do with phrases, it has to do with your ignoring my post.

Where are you getting that people don't want to buy from me? Even today I had people at vBCore asking for me to make another hack for them. I'm sorry that I am not touchy-feely, I just dont have time for that.

That would be correct. Thanks.

In response to vBCore, I will double post because I feel that you brought up a valid issue that needs to be resolved in its own post.

I appreciate you sharing this with everyone- I have been looking for something like this for awhile. I added the cron job as indicated in the "fix list two" however when I went to run it to test it out I got this error:

You bring up a valid point, but if you recall, I reserved the full right to distribute and modify this vB hack. I am under no legal or moral obligation to you. Maybe you feel wronged that I am releasing this hack to the public, but it is perfectly ethical. I made a hack for your to use, you paid me, and you didn't use it. I see no reason why I should not release it other than to make you happy. If you had used it, I might not have released it out of respect, but everything is different because you aren't using it. Releasing this is not cheating you and it is not being dishonest.

As to whether this is an exact copy? No. I lost a lot of the source that I used to make your hack (about 1/3 of purchase.php) and when I asked if you still had it you said you didn't. Because of that, I was forced to redo many parts of the hack.

I am sorry you feel cheated or wronged. I wish you didn't, but because you have no solid reasoning for me to remove this hack, I will keep it up.

The cron jobs is missing a '.

should be

thanks, but the orders.php file in the zip already had that line exactly the way you said to change it, and I still get the error.

After making the suggested changes I am still getting this error in the cron job:

This happen to me also i have paid someone here and he released the paid hack i know how it feel when people doing this ..

Unless you agree on transfering the copyright or agree on exclusivity, in most cases the coder will be free to do with the result whatever he wants. The price would probably be increased significant if you come to such an agreement.

You get what you pay for (or it should be like that) since you get the functionality you want.

Maybe this is not what you want to hear, but this is how things in general work with Software.

to make grupp off all this templates like vbulletin templates are done

Find in includes/adminfunctions_template.php
add under that line
screenshots of ADMINCP

Before it had ".$today."', it should have been '".$today."'

Change `start` to `date` - i renamed the column but forgot to update orders.php.

What do you mean "how it feel." Please explain your current emotions and explain why you feel that way. Do you feel sad, mad, betrayed, lustfull, horny, envious, extatic? Do you feel that way because you were cheated, wronged, made fun of, taken advantage of, or betrayed? Honestly, I can't tell what your feeling.

I guess you want me to add this? Sounds fine w/ me.

Thanks :D

... some clients feel frustrated to see that they paid for a job and see that job released for free afterward... i've encountered this many times in my coder lifetime...

the only thing that any coder can do at first, to secure everybody is to state what is the price for an "exclusive work"...

example: a hack is requested by a client, the coder charge 50$ for the job, but if the client request to be the exclusive owner of that code, the coder will charge 100$ for the job... this is fair, this is exactly what we see in all other markets...

most of the tools you see in my list of hacks are jobs i've done for clients that did not required to have the exclusive job... i've done a lot of exclusive works that will never be released here for that reason...

the point for the client is the "released for free afterward".. they feel they were manipulated and stealed... but they have to remember that THEY requested something that was specific for their needs, something that was not included in the code... if we find useful to offer it to the community once it's done, this is correct...

We had this talk before I made it. He asked what the price would be if he had exclusive rights to resell on vbcore.com. I told him it was more that he could afford ($5,000) and he decided to go with a single "license."

I didn't even make this all for him. I originally made something for mikaelweb, but he changed his mind 1/2 way through so I stopped.

From now on if you want to have an ethics discussion please start a new thread.
