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.

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.

Thanks shah

purchase.php?do=reciept&tx= + NUMBERS

ends up being a blank page. I don't receive an error notification.

?? Can we add custom fields to the order form?

Look in your logs, copy and paste the two longs associated with that specific 'NUMBERS' string.

Also... answer these questions:
- is the order created
- is there a ' in the product name/ item name

I cant see why you would get a blank page... unless its not communicating with paypal and times out... or if your missing a template. The whole blank page doesnt make much sense. You can do some debugging and add some echo "[reached point:a]"; statements (but use different letters), and tell me if it dies at some point. This will help me track the problem.

?? Can we add custom fields to the order form?

Be my guest!

Thanks for the updated file. I installed it on a brand new install of VB 3.0.6, and it gave me a few errors when I ran the MySQL queries. I ran them one at a time as listed.

When I entered the query:
[sql]ALTER TABLE `ph_settings` ADD `return` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
ADD `notify` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ;[/sql]
I got the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1060
error desc: Duplicate column name 'return'

when I ran this SQL query:[sql]INSERT INTO `ph_settings` VALUES ('', 0, '', '', 0, '', '');[/sql]
I got the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1136
error desc: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

Try deleting the tables from your database and redo the sql queries as listed in the zip file and you will see what I mean.

Also I was a bit confused by the file name "includes_mysql_edit" but I soon figured out I needed to edit FORUM/includes/db_mysql.php

I am still getting taken to the paypal page even if the item is marked as FREE. Will this be changed in a future version?

Thanks again.

I got the same errors when I installed 1.0c on vb3.0.7. Other than the few errors above so far so good, do you want me to post screenshots later?

When I got to click ok on settings edited, it gives me a phrase error:

Can Note Find Phase "Settings Edited" .... you weren't kidding when you wait phases not setup yet.

where do I read in database to know what phrases to setup ?

hi im now getting this error:

Warning: fopen(00H1682458552343F.datatrans): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /purchase.php on line 311

Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /purchase.php on line 312

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /purchase.php on line 313

how do i fix this one and no info goes into db.

another thing i noticed is i get no ipn callback but if i look @ whosonline i see guest purchase.php?do=ipn viewing no permission message do i need to allow guests to view forum for this to work?

the reciept url returns np and says you can download from members area shortly etc and i get success message in log files but no ipn logs.

have you a solution try ??

@yoyoyoyo

ALTER TABLE `ph_settings` ADD `return` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
ADD `notify` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ;

found its way into my description - removed and reuploaded

I am still getting taken to the paypal page even if the item is marked as FREE.  Will this be changed in a future version?

Probably not - i just wont allow free items. I mean, I dont know. I wont be updating this POS anytime soon though, I have real work that is taking over my life and doesnt let me have any free time.

@PixelFX

Search the admin file I provided for the phrase 'redirect' without the ''

@Madmax4321

1. The fopen, fputs, fclose is all permissions errors on your system or it cant find the directory. You just have to chmod + make sure the file exists.

2. The URL reciept just lets you know the transaction was OK from the users end, basically it lets you debug. The reciept should never submit information into the database because users can spoof the reciept (thats paypals fault, not mine). The IPN, however, doesnt seem to be exploitable.

3. The IPN problem.. hrm. There shouldnt be a problem with guests viewing the purchase.php file - I didnt put anything there to stop them. Have you tried accessing purchase.php as a guest? If you can, then it should be OK. If you cant, I dont know which settings you changed to make it like that but I am pretty sure its not my code. If guests can view it, then please fetch your server logs for me and check to see what error was created.

There is now a fix list for version 1.0c.

[Madmax4321]

as logged out i cannot access the purchase.php so im guesing its my usergroup settings i changed when started to build my forum.

will revert it all back and try again.

one thing i would note is the db colums notify & return arnt big enough my urls dont fit in them

i changed them to VARCHAR( 75 ) might be worth adding to fixlist
