This is what I was talking about several posts above. this bit of code to handle IPN msgs sent from paypal, is what would automatically confirm the payments made and completed, then would mark them so in vB.

it is missing in this add-on.

Valter, can you please add this into your add-on when you get time?

The integration would be awesome, making this a straight forward, automated system.

Why not change it to $60 / 6 months? or smaller?

Can you add the option to pay monthly for X months please? I know my users are reluctant to sign up for an open-ended system.

Is there any plan to intergrate with the PayPal API so it's not neccessary to have PMs going to users after navigating to PayPal? - A long shot I know but I thought I'd ask.

Well shoot, I just installed this mod and its been working great, and have had several users sign up for subscriptions, am I to understand the way it is worded in the Suggested donate amounts area is wrong.

Should be:

'5|6, 8|12' will add following options to drop-down menu:
-Donate 5 EUR and subscribe for every 6 months
-Donate 8 EUR and subscribe for every 12 months

Ugh. Overall good mod but i guess I'll find out at the end of the month if their donations continue

Also does anyone know the THIS_SCRIPT location for a vbadvanced homepage http://flotgaming.net/cmps_index.php

EDIT: with a little more digging, the THIS_SCRIPT location for a vbadvanced homepage is VBA_PORTAL

Wow, this is a really slick mod, I just wish I could figure out how to include the DONATE link to the CMS home and blog navbar lists as well as the forum. Anybody got the info??

Is this mod really still supported? Says so at top...but author hasn't been in this thread for almost 5 months.

I'd like to install, but seems like an lot of people are having complications and there is no solutions to their problems w/ this mid.

This mod is broken and has been for some time. Donations are not logged and users are not moved to new usergroups - in fact using this right now is probably detrimental because at least vBulletin keeps donation records.

I really hope Valter fixes this.

Valter or vb.org should change the "supported" status of this hack.

Valter? You around? Hellp!

It works fine for me on 4.0.5.

I'll try it later on my another forum.

Works flawlessly for me on 4.0.5 thanks
