Mini Mods - vBDiscounts - Give subscription discounts to your members!

This modification is released with permission of the Re-usable Code from this modification.

vBDiscounts v1.0:

This hack allows the user to input a discount 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 $10.00 off the first month! Just register and enter discount code 10OFF"
2. In Admincp -> vbDiscounts you configure a discount called 10OFF with value of 10, and set a date for the validity of the discount.
3. User registers, and enters discount code 10OFF 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 discount unless the subscription runs out before the discount validity does; thus it's better to use short-validity discounts and constantly change them.
2. The value of the discount in the Admin Panel is given as a monetary value, e.g. a discount 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:

* Fully working on vBulletin 3.8.x
* Manage Discounts: Singly Add/Edit/Delete; Mass-delete.
* Set discount valid for particular subscription ID's.
* Limit use by date or times it can be used.
* Mass-Generate discounts for distribution.
* Generate discount 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.

Sorta.

Let's say you want to do 10% off of $25, you would put 2.50 for the discount (which is 10%).

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be showing for you two unless you both have modified subscription templates.

Hi, installed this with no problems on the install,

One thing i've noticed is when I set it to discount on Subscription ID 3 .. it also knocks a smaller amount off the other IDs ..

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is a problem I'm trying to sort out with vBulletin itself, the best thing I can suggest is to closely monitor the subscriptions for now.
