Mini Mods - vbCoupons - offer money-off coupons for paid subscriptions

vbCoupons v1.4

About this mod:

This hack allows the user to input a coupon code that deducts the value of it from the subscription costs before they go to pay for a subscription.

For example:
1. You advertise for new members and have and advert saying 'Join before the end of April and get 40% off the first month! Just register and enter coupon code OFFER1"
2. In Admincp -> vbCoupons you configure a coupon called OFFER1 with value of 40, and set a date for the validity of the coupon.
3. User registers, and enters coupon code OFFER1 on the payments.php page. The page updates the normal subscription prices to reflect the offer. Then they go to pay for it.

Notes:

1. Since the offer code expires when you set it to, the users will not be able to renew with that coupon unless the subscription runs out before the coupon validity does; thus it's better to use short-validity coupons and constantly change them.
2. The value of the coupon in the Admin Panel is given as a monetary value, e.g. a coupon with value 3.50 will give $3.50 (?3.50; ?3.50, depending on currencies activated) off paid subscription before the user goes to pay for it.

Features:

* Manage Coupons: Singly Add/Edit/Delete; Mass-delete.
* Set coupon valid for particular subscription ID's.
* Limit use by date or times it can be used.
* Mass-Generate coupons for distribution.
* Generate coupon discount codes and post to a new thread in a specified forum. A message may be sent with the codes. You can decide the thread title too.
* Input on features you would like to see for this hack is very welcome, but may not be possible to implement.

Time to install: 5 mins

Error when trying to add a coupon code to the subscription page to get discount. I select the subscription I want and then add the coupon code and then hit "add coupon". That is when I get the error..

I would make such a big donation for this if it worked on 4.x

Hi, when I add a coupon and go to pay via Paypal, I receive the following error from the Paypal site:

You have entered an invalid amount. Please make sure that all punctuation marks are in the correct places and that you only include the number

This only happens when I add a coupon, not when I just use the normal subscription.

Just installed and it's working perfect on 3.8.7! (with the few extra edits found in this thread).

MONETARY VALUES RATHER THAN PERCENTAGES ARE USED FROM NOW ON

Anyone know how to make both work?

For 1 subscription I may want to make it a % discount and another I may want to make it a monetary discount.

Does this modification work for the 4.0 and up vbulletin software? I am in desperate need of getting a coupon into my subscriptions without going through a 3rd party.

If anyone has any info, I would *really* appreciate it!

Thanks!!
