I see, My suggestion either using the new account option of instant access, or verification link:

(1) - Have them register (instant or verify)

(2) Within /interface/registered.php -- place your paypal button to purchase.

At this point you have collected all the information you're asking for.

The account would be in the "active" accounts database without payment at this time.

You could create a "Paid" (name of your choice) sub/user group within the admin.

Accounts that have made payment, and within the paypal_config file would add them to this user/sub group
after successful payment.

You can do a search on the paid group via the admin, or while viewing the sub/user groups click on the
[view] link to see all paid accounts in the system.

You have the option to set a # of days the account is active for during the registration process. So this gives
you the option while having the non-payers in the system be sent an e-mail that the account has expired or
is to expire & link them up / remind them of your service and make payment.

Whats great is you can have a non payer as an account holder for whatever time you wish. but only let
"paid" accounts into specific areas of your site.

You can have as many entries as you wish. If you create a new purchase option you can give the account new sub-group / # of day access.

If the account exists its updated, if it does not its created upon payment.

Thanks. That is what I am looking for. This brings up another issue now though. If I have someone that is an inactive user that renews a membership they will not be reactivated will they? They will be added as an active member correct?

There is a setting in /configs/config.php to check against the inactive DB.

Set it to "0" to bypass that check & allow them to re-join via the register.php page.

Otherwise it would state they're already a member if my memory this late serves me right

I think you have helped me as much as you can. Thank you.

No problem. If you need anything let us know.

I have a question?

Does the system send out these "Expiration Warning" emails automatically, or is this something i have to run myself?

If either the register / control panel or admin programs are accessed it will run the daily cleanup.

You could always put it on a cronjob where its ran every day at 12:01

Just cron the admin program / URL.

Updating this thread - PayPal registrations now go through the normal registration process.

Register (IF PAYPAL) --> Account is set to pending payment --> Payment made via paypal --> Account activated.
