PHPLD question - How to manage yearly submissions.

I changed my submission price to per year pricing..
I have v3.2 script..

Now, what will happen after 1 year :

1 - Will the listing gets deleted or goes to pending status after 1 year?
2 - Will the submitter be informed after 1 year ?
3 - Will I(owner) be informed/reminded of expiry ?
4 - Does the date of expiry (1 year) will be added to the listing automatically in admin panel?

Have more question and will be posting slowly..

 

On mine, it's subscriptions.. But if they don't subscribe for a featured link i think it gets downgraded to a regular link.. but i'm not positive

 

I am asking about other than subscriptions and for regular links too.
Waiting for replies

 

i'm interested in finding out the answers too....

for me, i wld think that all submitters will be notified 1mth before their link expires and invited to renew.

good question abt whether the expiry dates will be recorded somewhere or do owners have to track it manually??

 

I believe that you have to manually add an expiration date in the admin panel when reviewing listings (directly below the Status - "Link Expires"). I'm thinking any expired listings will remain live until you validate the links. I also think the expired links would then be set to inactive along with broken links.

Admin >> Directory >> Validate Links

If this is not corect, I hope someone will chime in and let us know.

 

It is true that you can enable paypal subscriptions.
We are working on some new improvements to the payment system that will be in the next version that should do a lot to help.

 

What if the buyer don't subscribe ?
Can you answer above questions ?

 

As soon as we get it into working beta, I will give you an update.

 

so how are current yearly submission directories managing this??

manual tracking? then what about those sites that have expired?

 

Yes, I am also asking about the current v3.2 .. How is the current script managing yearly links ?

 

That is one of the reasons I opted for Permanent listing. I was not able to find these answers.
With yearly pricing, there is too much work involve. I don't think it will inform Submitter that there link is going to expire unless they are on PayPal subscription. (Just my guess)

 

It would be helpful if there were a solution for current versions also.

 

I would like also to know the answers to these questions and I don't find anywhere.

In phpld you have the option to setup the links yearly, so what does it mean then?
Must we send a reminder to every site's owner their links are going to expire and to pay us manually?

I have my directory since past December but I ask myself how the directory owners with more than one year directory are doing now?

 

Hi Guys,

Based on the discussion here, I think u all will be intrested in this thread.

I think from the script owner, this is a very inadequate reply to the OP which was very clear and asked for answers to 4 questions. I too am interested in this question.
