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

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.

$DB_site->query("UPDATE ph_order SET `active`='0' WHERE `active`='1' AND `length` > '0' AND `start`+`length`*86400 < ".$today."'");

should be

$DB_site->query("UPDATE ph_order SET `active`='0' WHERE `active`='1' AND `length` > '0' AND `start`+`length`*86400 < '".$today."'");

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:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE ph_order SET `active`='0' WHERE `active`='1' AND `length` > '0' AND `start`+`length`*86400 < '1118984065'
mysql error: Unknown column 'start' in 'where clause'

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

'subscription' => $vbphrase['group_paid_subscriptions'],

add under that line

'purchase' => 'products manager',

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.

... 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.
