Miscellaneous Hacks - Gift Subscriptions

Looks like there was a huge need for a gift subscription hack, so I created one, attached. It allows users to extend or purchase board subscriptions for other users.

This has been implemented and tested on our boards, but it is in EARLY ALPHA! Please provide me with feedback/questions after you implement it.

Should take about 15 minutes to complete.

1. Create 1 plugin
2. Modify 2 templates
3. modify 1 script (payments.php) -- PLEASE backup and save your old script for upgrade purposes.

Let me know how it goes!

What's the purpose of this hack?

So users can purchase subscriptions for other users (not just themselves).

I realized Pig's hack was in the graveyard recently, and I didn't have a backup. This is really appreciated, thanks.

I get it, thank you.

This is just one of the many things that would really make the subscriptions really great, if vbulletin had it in default.

Thanks for sharing

How does this work? Does it add a link under the paid subscriptions? Anyone have a demo or screen shot?
