Automated subscriptions for what - vBulletin?

[waverider]

Yes for vBulletin
I have posted this question before and recieved NO HELP
i was gonna buy me a license but now i'm having second thoughts i found a different company that sells forum software
and it's the fastest i have ever seen load using dial up and they can help me out!!!!!!!

I will explain one last time here because ya'll have an excellent help section and some pretty sharp folks here and that means alot .


#1--- I want to incorporate a system so people could PAY A SUBSCRIPTION FEE !!

#2---- I don't want to add names and passwords to the database manually.

#3-----is their a hack ?

And the reason for this will be to hopefully keep the lowlifes out and to help pay for a dedicated server this will be displayed to everyone who is interested in joining .
Thank's

You can certainly moderate all new memberships in vB and only approve those that have paid you the subscription fee. No special hacking is required to do this. It's part of the normal options in the Admin CP. To automate this and tie it in with PayPal would require hacking. You can ask over at vbulletin.org to see if this hack is feasible.

I also have a custom hack to automate the entire process, involves a tiny bit of hacking to add the admin part to the admin panel. Then you just use IPN within your paypal profile to point to the file on your server.

Where can I get this addon\hack.
I run wifeposter.com and it is currently using a discusware board. I would like to move it to this script but I would need some kind of automated Payment method. I am currently using Glo-bill and it updates a HTaccess file on my linux machine. I would rather have one that would walk the users though the creation or upgrade of a users account though the script. is this possible?
could you help me? if it is needed I could come up with some money for special coding.
