Hi,
I have been setting up my web site and i have just began looking into paid registration for users, using paypal.
I have followed the tutorial about setting up paid subscriptions using paypal, and it seemed very straight forward.I set up a role that lets users pay for a six month period.
I entered a test user to try out my settings and when i go to 'manage services' in the test users account it shows a 'use trial' box even though i left the trial period fields blank when i set up the payment options.
I clicked on the 'use trial' box just to see what happened and it gives a message saying 'you have successfully subscribed to the paid subscribers role' and it gives an expiry date of 1 year.
I can't understand why this is happening.
Any ideas?

Thank you.

Matt.

Hi Matt,

You are correct, this looks like a new bug - I've just tested it in 4.5.5.

If this is a new bug it could be a while before it is fixed or a new version released, if you are looking into subscriptions I would suggest you look at the subscriptions module at www.ventrian.com

It could be worth visiting DNN to report the bug, thanks,

Hi,

I've just come up against this same issue - almost 2 years later!

Could it really not be fixed by now? Seems almost like a scam to get you to buy a commercial module...

hello,

It's definitely possible that this bug still exists, but I doubt it is a scam to buy a commercial module as the DotNetNuke core team do not sell commercial modules.

In any event, if you are going to be setting up subscribers to your website I would recommend a commercial module such as Ventrians subscription tools (which is what we use on DNN Creative) - through using a module like this you should find that your conversion rate improves because it easier for the customer to purchase a subscription.

Thanks,
