What this does (added in first post)
With the current vbulletin subscription set up, it only charges your members one time. So if you have a pay based site, or forum area they have to keep subscribing, and causing them to waste time and effort (and maybe you lose money)
What this does, is give you the option if you want one time payment (standard vb) or reoccurring payment.
When you choose reoccurring the script has them sign up for a reoccurring payment, as paypal sends you confirmation each time you get a subscription payment, your system will now update their access time.
This will save your members from having to resign up all the time and hopefully save you some money
For instance, say you have a paying member?s only area, and you want them to have to pay $10 a month.
With this you can charge per month and it handles all the charges, and every month they send another payment automatically your script gets updated and sets their new expiration.
This has been asked for many times and IMO should have been in to begin with.
Enjoy and I will help as I can.
Note from the new supporter: This hack is now being actively supported again. I have updated the install instructions to work for version 3.0.7, and we can now begin to work out any existing bugs. This code is still raw and has not been tested extensively due to the difficult nature of testing paypal transactions.
hi just installed this and it works just as you say - sweet
I have a few suggestions however:
1) Ability for users to choose the subscription amount
2) Ability to make it a one-time payment
3) Ability for users to cancel their subscription from within vbulletin
4) Send user a PM each time their subscription renews
I don't know if these are possible but be good if they were - especially as I am thinking that its gonna take Jelsoft a decade to do their PayPal rewrite. They say they will do it for v3.1 yet they are still only on 3.0.1 so er mayb a decade is too soon ... who knows !!!
Anyways, thanks for this excellent hack.
Glad you like
As for list
1, hmm not sure how I like that idea
2, you can do this in admin cp, just do not click reoccur
3, I do not think this is possible , they have to via paypal or you do
4, Very possible and easy to do, may add it in I like idea.
you right I did skip this step, I modified it but I still cant get the members group to change plus they users dont show up in the subscription page. Any ideas what it could be?

Are you trying with your own accounts? If so are they both active, due to if one is pending it will not change their group, until such time as it is confirmed.

No I'm trying with my girlfriends account which is active. Shouldn't it show active users even without your hack? I have 2 VB boards and same issue on both.

Hmm that is odd, mine working fine, moves me up and everything on subscriptions.

You can do it by creating a cancellation link to PayPal, but you'd need to store PayPal's subscription ID in the database. The cancellation link's made using the subscription ID.

Yes and they would still have to log in so hence doing it themselves.

Yes, but they aren't having to look through there history to find the subscriptio nthey're wanting to cancel. If you make the link, which most site's I've seen do (at least where I've purchased subscriptions), it's a lot easier and more user-friendly for the end-user.
It's a matter of convenience for the end-user more than anything.

Hmm, I do not see where it would be hard then..... I will look into it when I have time.

Sure, no rush.. It's not really a neccessity, but would be something that the memebers would appreciate having I'm sure. I know it's something I like to see myself when I purchase reocurring subs from a site. I don't have to dig through all the stuff at PayPal to find it if and when the time comes to cancel it.
That's not a bug, just something that's changed from v3.0.0 to v3.0.1 is all. The only difference that'll make is if you've renamed your index.php to something else and it's not a DirectoryIndex file. i'm assuming the author's using v3.0.0 when he made this.
Absolutely brilliant hack! Thank you very much for sharing. If this works out well, I'll be sure to donate $ to your paypal account. Do you have a paypal account?
