[SOLVED] [#9091] Programmatically invoice a subscriber

We are programmatically subscribing users via auto action which works well. Currently those have no fee attached.

Now we need to programmatically subscriber users to a plan with a fee to be paid.

We have a table of fees by country. Depending on the country field in CB we need to get the fee and create a basket for subscription. Preferably the user will receive an email notification and once logged into the site will be presented with the basket for payment of the subscription.

Should this be done via CB query field, auto action, or what?

Our thought is to externally calculate the fee based on the CB country field and place the fee in the user's CB record. Then possibly use a promotion to get the fee dynamically to override the CBSubs plan fee.

Can a resulting basket invoice be presented to the logged in user via their profile? If not, how?

CB Auto Actions bypasses basket entirely. It has no function for generating baskets. For that it's best to just find a way to send them to the following URL.

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&do=addplanstobasket&plans=PLAN_ID_HERE

That URL will generate a basket and add the supplied plan to it automatically and display the basket. You could probably do this using CB Auto Actions using a Redirect action after they login. You'd then be able to condition your field and condition to see if they're already subscribed to the plan. I recommend using onAfterUserLoginSuccess trigger though since it's the final trigger in the frontend login process.

When I use the addplanstobasket URL it does not take into account promotions. Should it?

I am setting a CB field to a fixed value that will override the plan price. I'm following all the documentation and the promotion appears to be properly set for the plan. Before I move ahead with thinking I don't have it configured correctly I wanted to ask to be sure that the addplanstobasket URL would encompass using promotions.

It works like any normal frontend purchase. It's just bypassing them having to select the plan and click the button to upgrade.

It sounds like your promotion isn't configured correctly.

We've tried several adjustments to the promotion and all attempts fail to set the plan price in the basket to be the amount in the user's custom field. Attached is our promotion config. We know the promotion is at least being considered because the override we have defined on the promotion's display tab is shown in the basket.

We have removed all conditions and access level requirements. All that remains is the promotion calculation shown in the screenshot.

What type of field is it? Text? Integer? What is the value in the field? It's possible it's working, but the value in the field isn't compatible with pricing.
