Pig's Subscription Gift · **Released**: 01-16-2006

Description

Allows users to pay for a paid subscription for another user.

Five plugins
One new template
Three new phrases
Three template edits

Installation

Install the product XML through the product manager.

Edit template 'subscription' in 'Paid Subscriptions Templates'.

Find:

Code:

<if condition="$show['activesubscriptions']">

Insert before that, this code:

Code:

$giftbits

Find:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="order" />

Insert after that, this code:

Code:

<if condition="$giftuser != null">
<input type="hidden" name="gift" value="$giftuser[userid]" />
</if>

This step may be altered according to taste. I chose to insert the link that userA would click to pay for userB into userB's profile, i.e. MEMBERINFO, but it could just as easily be put in 'postbit'. Anyway...

Edit template 'MEMBERINFO' in 'Member Info Templates'.

Find:
Code:
```
	<td class="vbmenu_control">
		<if condition="$show['addbuddylist']">
```
Add before that, this code:
Code:
```
	<td class="vbmenu_control">
        <a href="payments.php?$session[sessionurl]gift=true&userid=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[buy_x_a_sub]</phrase></a>
        </td>
```

And you're done.

Notes

Active subscriptions are never shown on the paid subscriptions page, either for the donor or the recipient, when visiting the paid subscriptions page through the gift subscription link.
The identity of the donor is not revealed to the recipient. An admin will have to check out the payment info if the recipient wants to know who gave them the subscription.

very nice mod.. any chance we can get it in a plugin? (very lazy admin here)

Umm. It is a plugin. Plugins can't modify templates though, so manual template changes are always going to be required.

Awesome. I'll probably install this tonight!
