Buy Thread: Pay to Post New Thread

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.

Sure here it is:

you must update your template

In your Admin CP under Styles & Template select Search In Templates...

Search for:
HTML Code:
Code:
value="$session[sessionhash]"
In every template this occurs in add this line directly after the line containing the above, if it doesn't exist already:

PHP Code:
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
Save the template.

Did you have to modify the template?

Yeah, go to this template:

ptpnt_buythread_form

And search for:

"$session[sessionhash]"

Then add this right after:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

Thanks for this plugin. However, when I tried to use it on my forum, after clicking on "Submit", I got:

"Fatal error: Call to a member function shareads() on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php(5721) : eval()'d code on line 11

My vB version is 3.8.1.

Any idea or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to set this up so it takes reaccuring payments?

Thanks!

I want to not allow anyone to register unless they have a paid subscription. I do not want people even viewing my site for free. Would this system work for this purpose or is there something in 3.8 that I have missed that would do this without any add-ons? Help!
