[REVO] SubscribeMe: Selling access to your Premium MODX Content with PayPal

homebrewruss:

... I tend to recommend that Express Checkout with Recurring Payments...

That's what's being used.

I'll have to look into 2.2.. haven't yet tested it in that, thanks for the report

New version release for MODX 2.2 that is no longer compatible with 2.1: http://modx.com/extras/package/subscribeme

The main Users tab as well as any filters on users still shows all users. Can this be controlled to only show subscribers?

Hi Mark, This is an awesome plugin, and I've been trying to make it work on my site running modx 2.2. However, I've gone through the instructions, but after the user makes a selection, the &optionsResource doesn't redirect to the payment page. I've setup paypal sandbox settings, created a new outerTPL chunk, edited the OptionsResource and changed it in the snippet properties, and have formit is installed. I also have IPN setup in sandbox, and the link verifys in the Paypal IPN test tool. Any ideas?

@Susan:

The filter only works if there's any matches.. should be able to correct that behavior a tad (returning an empty result set instead of an error), can you file it on Github?

If it doesn't redirect from the product screen to the payment options screen that's usually an indication it failed creating the subscription in the database (that's created before talking to PayPal).

If the form properly triggers the hooks (check &submitVar property, if the new subscription hook is in the &hooks param, and if there's no other hooks executed before it that may be returning false), there should be a reason in the error log.

Thanks for the reply @Mark H
Yeah, I'd been looking at the error log today, though I can't say I understand it. It looks like there's it's unable to find the newsubscription.inc.php file

Hi,

This looks really useful. Slightly OT perhaps and maybe obvious, but to be clear, does SubscribeMe work with PayPal Website Payments Pro as well as the "Standard" PayPal?

Cheers - Zaphodz

Think it does. Don't have a WPP account myself and the paypal docs are as clear as ever, but I don't think there's a difference in API between them.

Try it before you sell it to your client if you definitely need WPP.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that. I don't have WPP myself either but it would be preferred for my client so thought I'd ask if it has been done by anyone before proposing it to my client as an option.

Thanks again - Zaphodz
