Built in reminder?
Is there a built in reminder for non-payed submissions? i.e someone submits a link so that it is a non-free link, but they don't complete the payment stuff... is there a way to send out a link to complete the payment process? (or if a URL can be passed along, to carry on the process, what would it be?).

TIA

Not sure about if they don't complete the payment stuff to begin with, but the email that goes out as a reminder for a link which is about to expire seems to be email_notify.txt. That uses the tag <%renewal_url%> which is the same as <%db_cgi_url%>/modify.cgi?do=payment_linked;process_payment=1;modify=1;ID=<%ID%>

Hi. Finally managed to give this a test.

An example of the URL it produces;

modify.cgi?do=payment_linked;process_payment=1;modify=1;ID=596758

However, i get this error;

Oops, we had the following problem:
You are not authorized to modify this link

I'm guessing this is because a "user" isn't assigned to the link? (the site in question doesn't require you to sign up before adding a link).

TIA for any suggestions.

Hi Andy

Couldn't you just duplicate that script and remove the $USER required part?

Yeah, I'm gonna have to do something like that. I'm also going to build in a section that will give them a link in the email; so if they didn't actually order the submission, they can cancel it (which will delete the submitted link too).

I should be able to make this public (not sure how long, but when I get some time, I'll make it into a freebie plugin) ... as I can see it being a pretty useful plugin :)

Cheers

I've written a mod that does this now. I'll try at some point to make it a plugin. Basically, it runs daily, and checks for payments that have payments_status => 0. Those which it finds, it will see how many days it has been like that (via a new count field that I added), and then based on the number in that field, it will decide if it needs to send out an email, or not.

I also plan to add in a "delete" function... but not just yet :)

Cheers
