Buy Thread: Pay to Post New Thread · **Released**: 05-24-2006

This mod allows you to require payment from registered users prior to letting them post new threads. This mod also utilizes PayPal so you need to use PayPal's IPN and have your board set to accept PayPal payments.

The mod is good for those of you who want to set up some forums where users are required to pay a fee prior to making a new thread, such as for real estate, job postings, sale items, other types of classified ads, etcetera.

If you make any money from using this mod, I expect a cut. LOL, just kidding, but do click install should you use this mod.

Been waiting for this for awhile. Thanks!

If you're looking for ideas... a credit system would be really cool, where people could buy credits and then use them in multiple forums (i.e., you could buy credits for $1 each, then posts in various forums would cost different amounts of credits) ... that way you could charge different amounts for different forums and people wouldn't feel like they were pigeon holed into one forum.

I'm sure that gets more complicated, but that would be a really sweet mod.

It is on, and always has been. What is the Notification URL: supposed to be?

Right now it points to my forums/ppverify.php ?

Probably from some 3.0.7 series hack that I might have had? dunno

@hugh_: no demo unless from someone else

Calorie,

Is there any chance of applying this hack to calendar posts as well?

Thanks...

@paul41598: the Notification URL set in your PayPal account doesn't matter, as this mod uses the following:

Code:

<!-- in ptpnt_buythread_form template -->
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="$vboptions[bburl]/buythread.php?do=paypal" />

When you get to the page that gives the total, before you click the purchase button, view the HTML source.

Look for the following and make sure the hidden input tags are correct, and if not just edit the template.

Code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

If everything looks okay, make sure there isn't anything like a .htaccess file blocking the PayPal IPN postback.

@hugh_: not sure if I'm up for another hack ATM, but maybe later.

That did it Calorie. It was because I was testing this on testforums and using htaccess to block it. Its always something obvious huh? Works great. Thanks for the troubleshooting.
