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

Ok all good just did not want to do it if i did not need to. i found a problem look at the pic. it shows all the currencies can you please fix?

Thanks still testing

Did you activate the coupon for a particular subscription id? It will only deduct from the price of that subscription id.

Also, I cannot replicate the error you're getting with the 0.00 prices showing at all.

[DssCrazy]

yes i am. and with both version it will not update the price can this be fixed?

Thanks

[DssCrazy]

can you please upload the 1.0.0 version also so i can give it a try and see if it is just these 2 versions? because i know when i had 1.0.0 it worked

Dsscrazy: double check that the coupon you added for whatever user has a subscription id for it.
Edit the coupon in the admincp and check the values you have entered for it.

It now requires you to add the number of uses it has, and the subscriptionid's that it's valid for.

It will not deduct any value if the coupon does not have these set, since they're set to '0' by default and I doubt any of your subscriptions have the id of zero. Zero uses set for the coupon will also make it not deduct.

And double check the edits you did in your payments.php file if these do not work.
That zero price thing showing up is more than likely a bad file edit somewhere.
