Am a little confused on what this does. Here is my understanding. When someone buys Paid Subscription it will send the staff a message stating that someone has used?

Thanks

Will this send an email/pm to the user telling them that their Paid Subscription is almost up is that what it does?

No, currently when someone buys a subscription vbulletin will inform the admin (or whoever you nominate in the admincp).

The only information the customer/user receives is from paypal that their payment has gone through.

This allows you to send your own custom message to the customer/user using either a PM or email (or both), depending on the subscription purchased.

The kind of thing this would be used for is to give them information about what they're entitled to with their subscription, etc, or to tell them that you yourself acknowledge receiving their subscription payment.

It's a lot more professional than relying on paypal to inform them, but having no word from the forum itself about anything.

Edit: A user receives an email 2 days before their subscription is up, currently.

In future I'll be adding a configurable system that you can send custom PM's or emails to them whenever you choose to, e.g. weeks before it's up, etc.

I should have looked at the screen shot first lol. i see now it gives you the abillity to auto send a pm/email when a member buys a Paid Subscription. ok perfect installed. Will it also give a warning message when Paid Subscription is almost up?

Thanks

That part may be made a paid mod though.

Can we use something like $user etc???

[Xeder]

Thanks for this.
But i was hoping if u could add an option to send a copy of that pm to a defined staff?

[DssCrazy]

Can you add the option to send pm certain staff?

Also where do you type in the message to let the member know when their Paid Subscription is almost up?

Thanks

Thanks! I am actually a user that requested this several times, and even has 2 coders going to make it for me before they vanished. So I am very happy that you have made this.

ps. Will you be upgrading this to 3.7 as well, as I plan on upgrading when vb 3.7 goes gold.

Not currently. The PM body and email body cannot take variables and interpret them, unfortunately. I'll try to think of a way around this though, but until then this is not possible.

Yes, I will be adding a cc list that you can send the same pm/email to other people like moderators or the admin (though there's already an option in vbulletin that sends an email to the admin when someone buys a paid subscription).

Custom messages for when a paid subscription is about to expire is not currently in version 1.0
It will be in a future version though, with the option to set when each subscriber is informed (currently subscribers are emailed by default in vbulletin 2-3 days before their subscription is to expire)

I noticed that people were asking for the same mod that I needed myself.
I'm glad that you like it!

Yes, I will be updating this for 3.7 but only when a stable version is released.
The PM system in 3.7 for automated PM's is slightly different to the system in 3.6.8 I understand, so the PM bit in this mod will almost definitely not work in 3.7
If you (of anyone else for that matter) want to install it on a 3.7 board, the emails should work the way they are set at the moment

[codershark]

please make it compatible for 3.7 8)

Hi Ringleader. Thanks for making this mod. I had a customer that was using the other defunct one and it stopped working in 3.68.

I made a change to the cpnav_autopmemailpaidsub.xml so that it would load the menu item under the paid subscription menu instead of creating a whole new menu listing. Much neater that way. If anyone else wants to change this then just replace the contents of cpnav_autopmemailpaidsub.xml with the following code.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Also if you want to use variables then the best way is to use phrases instead of a text input box.

perfect! this is what I was looking for
