Request - Monthly - Yearly payments trough paypal

Post by repute »

Hi I hope i put this request in the right forum.

Is it possible to add an payment feature so if people are paying users there are no ads (google of other ad system) on the forum.

It would be great if the payments are recurring trough paypal on a monthly or yearly basis with 2 different prices so for instance the yearly option is somewhat cheaper as 12 seperate montly payments.

Please add this as an feature in the script!

Regards,

Repute

It is possible, but I won't be adding such feature to script any time soon.
Hosting script is modular, so it can be easily done by writing a module.

Okay thanks for your fast reply! I'm not a coder so I don't know how to code such a feature could you do this as a custom request and what will this cost?

I'm sure someone will write such mod. It is very easy to add a new feature to this script.
But don't expect it to be done soon because ads management isn't ready yet. When ads management is done there will be an option to enable/disable ads per forum, and adding paypal to it is just a matter of writing a simple module.

Yep, that function would be very useful, but the primary focus should be getting the script working properly with the main functions first. It looks very good already now...
Thanks

How hard would it be to make this module fully automatic? So when they setup a subscription to pay x every month there ads wil get taken off, and if they cancel at any point the ads will be placed back on right away?

Such task shouldnt be so hard to program because everything is modular. Only long part to code would be API with Paypal to manage payment and advert status. Paypal has subscription feature anyway so that item is easy to manage.
