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

It had the full content it was just being cut off at 64kb.

Also if you set something to free it still takes you to paypal.

I dont plan to fix this... well, maybe I do. I might add another step for if the total price is 0.00 to just download the file.

The rest of the problems noticed were solved.

with list six out now, how close is this to a stable release? Generally Speaking, and to install we do everything in your zip then added only stuff in list 6? or is it better to wait for your next version release? And thank you for releasing this

[Mythotical]

NVM, got it fixed.

Ron1n, can you give me a list of all phrases that are in this hack so I can add them but just give my own description?

Thank you
Myth

How far is this from its final and finnished release? I would like to install it when its ready for use on a busy site??

[Ron1n]

It is probably about 1-2 updates away from being final. I will publish it this weekend.

However, can people test out the showcases (testimonials and portfolio) and make sure they are working well?

Also, I would like to make sure everything is working correctly in the member's area.

Side question: is there any chance of getting this system to work through the vbulletin subscription system? the reason I ask is my IPN:URL with paypal is already tied up with other commercial script, that script doesn't intergrate with vbulletin.

otherwise it looks awesome

[Ron1n]

Find:

$form .= '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Checkout">';

Place below:

$form .= '<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" 
value="http://www.domain.ext/dir/purchase.php?do=ipn">'

That will get it working with multiple IPN, so you can now remove whatever you had on your paypal account. I didn't notice this before, it was a good catch. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I think I will just build this into the next script, it makes it seem so much easier.

no problem I had to find something. Tech support was really friendly at paypal.

Question: If I change purchase.php to products.php will it effect the script at all?

Suggestions: ? Does this hack allow you to select a file from location on your server? since the attachment system on php is max 2 megs? and if so are there any restrictions to file size.
