I'm running an opensource php billing script and I want to make a simple change to the items listed so that once one person signs up the item is no longer available until they default or cancel payment. Should be a simple 10 minute job to the right person with minimum code changes. Please give me your bids in the thread - thanks
Which open source script are you using? And by saying "the item is no longer available", you mean no longer available to everyone, or just the customer who has added the item to his cart?
Sorry I haven't made myself very clear on here today. To answer your second question first, no longer available for new people to purchase until the original client no longer continues to subscribe or until they default on payment (paypal recurring IPN - built in). The script itself is AgileBill, previously purchase only but now under general release (for some years). Basically I'm selling links on my site which have specific locations and I can't obvioulsy sell the same link twice so the option needs to be removed until it is available once more. In addition, there is a further idea I had which will make life easier. When the links are available, they will be coloured red on my site and grey when they are taken, it would be great to get the script to automatically colour them and add the new location so I don't have to trawl through the code and manually add/edit the links. Each category is already seperate so each link in theory will be easy to add/edit without too much code manipulation.
Sounds like a simple check before listing the available 'areas' and another one to change the color based on availablity. Without seeing the structure and site code - hard to write how to make the change here... Contact me if you'd like some help throwing it together..
Sure. Let me know when you'd like to start. My Skype ID is : thedanielsolution (for real time chat) D
do you have the links listed in a database? If so .. when the user clicks to begin renting or when you confirm it and use an interface page to confirm its now taken, have it do an $sql update and add a "taken" to a table field of that link in the database. example: id | link_name | STATUS| ------------------------ 1 | widgets | TAKEN | ------------------------- 2 | gadgets | OPEN | -------------------------- I wouldnt use a 10 minute job. make yourself an interface page that only you can use to manage the status of those links. and as far as the color of the link ..if the $row['status'] comes back as "TAKEN" have it switch the CSS Styles to a different hyperlink color. make your payments real ..and your websites will become more fancy fancilful.
OK I have had lots of information over PM to do with this so I have decided to make a post which will verify exactly what I am looking for. The site is effectively split into cities->Categories->Links (products currently) If client A browses to a category where none of the links are taken they will all show in red and when clicked will point to the default URL (settable in admin) If they subscribe to take link X in category A, for £1 per month via paypal, once verified via IPN (already done) the link is no longer available for other clients to subscribe to. When client A fills out the new URL of the website (no anchor text changes), the link will turn grey and will point to the new url. This will post a notification to the admin panel someting like '(ACCOUNT) has purchased link X in category A in city A' . The links are added to the pages (wordpress) via an include (different for each section currently but could be updated via database I guess). As long as payments are active on the link (based on the script) nothing changes. As soon as the payment is delinquent or cancelled the link reverts back to it's prior state (red and default URL). A notification is made to the admin panel such as '(ACCOUNT) has {cancelled|defaulted} on link X in category A in city A. Categories are repeated in different cities so will need to be identified by UID & name rather than just name to avoid dupes and incorrect data. The script generates unique ID's for category (category & city) and 'product' (links) so should be easily changed in the footer.php include of each section on wordpress. Each location has the same categories but different links Each category has different links and a unique footer.php include which calls the data into the relevant pages Links are all nofollow and open in _blank windows Sales backend is AgileBill and frontend is Wordpress. I guess there should be something to manage the links too as mentioned above such as an admin panel for the links added to AgileBill so I can see the following: Whats taken pointing to where (with edit) by city and/or category also showing subscription option (monthly {M}, Quarterly {Q} or annually {A}) linked to the account which has subscribed along with payment status and payment renewal date. Whats available (with edit) by city and/or category Current notifications (as above text) showing the last 20 with a scrollable window, buttons linking to show just cancelled/default or just purchased. All types with links to the accounts of the proposed subscriber. Any questions?? Please give me a quote for the above if you are able to do the work.
