vMembers manages subscription purchases and downloads

What is vMembers? Say a member buys your good via a vB paid subscription. If the good is a script, the members goes to vMembers, wherever you have it installed, and can download the script. However, before the member can download, the member is prompted to agree to your license agreement and could be asked to insert a domain name for the script.

vMembers takes care of vB database changes via product, and there are no vB file changes. vMembers adds several templates, a bunch of phrases, and one new file with its own queries. While vMembers uses vB to login, vMembers does not need to be within the vB forum directory. You can install vMembers in its own directory, and name the new file what you choose.

vMembers works off the vB subscription and profile information. Other than setting a path in the new file, you can control vMembers using the current ACP. If you know how to run vB paid subscriptions, then you can run vMembers. If you do not like vMembers, check out Ron1n's vBPurchase here.

If you install vMembers, click the install button. This allows you to receive update notices, should any be sent. It is also a nice way to say thanks!

Fine Print: Obviously, use at your own risk. Support is not guaranteed. vMembers may not be redistributed!

Side Notes: Attached images are somewhat out of date. Some skins and this mod may not get along.

Nevermind, your hack needs to be updated, they no longer use subscription.php its now payments.php

Yep, see here.

The download script link goes to my products.php page, shouldn't it have download links below each product?

EDIT: I read that earlier on, but wondered why the Download Script would redirect back to the product page and no actually show the download links. Thats why we enter the full path to the download in the php file correct?

The left side vMembers download link on the 3.5.0 Beta 1 version was coded to go back to the members page, like a main link to get back. You can change the wording in the download_script phrase. Once someone subscribes/buys, then there will be an area like in the first post attachment, under the 'Details and Options' section. This mod was initially written for vB 3.5.0 Beta 1 and stuff on my vMembers has been changing since then, so until a new vMembers for vB 3.5.1 is finished and tested, you'll need to go through and edit things.

Ok no problem, thanks calorie.

FYI: vMembers has been updated to work with vB 3.5.1.

thanks for the hard work on this, any plans to make this work more like vbpurchase? also does this have a setting if you wanted to sell/release files where users don't have a website?

again thanks for taking the time to make this

As I don't actually use vBPurchase, I don't know how it works.

If you want to be rid of the forced profile update in vMembers, do:

	if ($is_subscribed == 1) {
		// replace the for loop inside
		// this if statement with...
		$valid_profile = 1;
	}

FYI: vMembers has been updated to use vB header and footer templates, as well as vB options for its settings except path, which you need to set to install vMembers wherever you want.
