Problem with PayPal Recurring / Monthly Payment

[chute09]

Hi Guys,

I have tried nearly every solution to implement Pay Pal recurring subscriptions in virtuemart including the one from http://myjoomlaextensions.net i found this tutorial on net: http://blog.halcyon-solutions.com/2008/04/07/paypal-recurring-payments-in-virtuemart/

However i think it may be incompatible with the newer virtuemart versions, after confirming my order i recieve this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/righttim/public_html/fireplayservers.com/components/com_virtuemart/themes/vm_mynxx/templates/pages/checkout.thankyou.tpl.php(61) : eval()'d code on line 2

The original PayPal method works fine.

The code for the extra payment info is:

Code Select Expand

<?php
        $url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";
        $tax_total = $db->f("order_tax") + $db->f("order_shipping_tax");
        $discount_total = $db->f("coupon_discount") + $db->f("order_discount");
        $post_variables = Array(
                "cmd" => "_xclick-subscriptions",

                "src" => "1&#8243;,
                "no_note" => "1&#8243;
        );
        if( $page == "checkout.thankyou" ) {
                $query_string = "?";
                foreach( $post_variables as $name => $value ) {
                        $query_string .= $name. "=" . urlencode($value) ."&";
                }
                mosRedirect( $url . $query_string );
        } else {
                echo '<form action="'.$url.'" method="post" target="_blank">';
                echo '<input type="image" name="submit" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but6.gif" mce_src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but6.gif" border="0&#8243; alt="Make payments with PayPal, it is fast, free, and secure!" />';
                foreach( $post_variables as $name => $value ) {
                        echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$name.'" value="'.$value.'" />';
                }
                echo '</form>';
        }
?>



I have tried changing mosRedirect to vmRedirect in the above code with no luck.

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated

Ditto.  I've tried three methods for subscriptions thus far, and none work.  And this seems to be a topic that makes a lot of folks duck and hide.

Yes it is extremely fustrating hehe; if anyone would like to make a simple PayPal recurring payment module i would be willing to pay for this and i know alot of others would too. If anyone has any news at all please post it here.

Hi,

Did you guys find out any solution to this problem. Please do let me know

I'm currently using the uc_credit with paypal WPP as a gateway de uc_recurring to handle monthly fees for a site subscription. Client's requirement is to allow users to update their cc information. Since this is not handled by the default uc_recurring fee handler I wrote a custom fee handler that I hope could be integrated to provide additional features to the basic handler. I've attached a simple module I created to handle this.
