Pig's Subscription Gift
 

Description

Allows users to pay for a paid subscription for another user.

• Five plugins
• One new template
• Three new phrases
• Three template edits

Installation

• Install the product XML through the product manager.
  
• Edit template 'subscription' in 'Paid Subscriptions Templates'.
  
  Find:
  
  Code:

  ---

  <if condition="$show['activesubscriptions']">

  ---

  Insert before that, this code:
  
  Code:

  ---

  $giftbits

  ---

  Find:
  
  Code:

  ---

  <input type="hidden" name="do" value="order" />

  ---

  Insert after that, this code:
  
  Code:

  ---

  <if condition="$giftuser != null">
<input type="hidden" name="gift" value="$giftuser[userid]" />
</if>

  ---

• This step may be altered according to taste. I chose to insert the link that userA would click to pay for userB into userB's profile, i.e. MEMBERINFO, but it could just as easily be put in 'postbit'. Anyway...
  
  Edit template 'MEMBERINFO' in 'Member Info Templates'.
  
  Find:
  
  Code:

  ---

          <td class="vbmenu_control">
                <if condition="$show['addbuddylist']">

  ---

  Add before that, this code:
  
  Code:

  ---

          <td class="vbmenu_control">
        <a href="payments.php?$session[sessionurl]gift=true&userid=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[buy_x_a_sub]</phrase></a>
        </td>

  ---

And you're done.

Notes

• Active subscriptions are never shown on the paid subscriptions page, either for the donor or the recipient, when visiting the paid subscriptions page through the gift subscription link.
• The identity of the donor is not revealed to the recipient. An admin will have to check out the payment info if the recipient wants to know who gave them the subscription.

this mod looks cool..
thanks.,

Yeah definitely very nice! Thanks. :D

really, i can't imagine to live without it now that it exists... lol

damn this is a good idea for a sharing community!

Superb idea!!

very nice mod.. any chance we can get it in a plugin? (very lazy admin here)

Umm. It is a plugin. Plugins can't modify templates though, so manual template changes are always going to be required.

Awesome. I'll probably install this tonight! ;)

Great idea!
