Late subscriptions

[wehostem]

I think allowing paypal subscriptions on overdue invoices is a bad idea. I just had a customer pay an invoice that was two months behind and did so with a subscription. I asked Matt about the subscribe button showing on an overdue invoice and he said it was normal operation and that the consensus shows majority wanted this. This should of been an added option to the gateway setting, just a check box to "not show subscribe button if invoice is overdue".

 

Now it looks like I am going to completely disable the subscribe feature, that majority of my clients love to use.

 

Anyone else have this issue, and if so how did you deal with it? I have not looked at any of the template files yet to see if there is a way to add an "if" statement.

What?! When did this change?

 

That's terrible, the way it worked made perfect sense, I don't remember that being announced.

This changed when I updated to version 4, and according to a support ticket I had open, Matt said it was normal operation. I'm a little fustrated by it cause now I will have to keep a close eye on it and double check every subscription created to be sure it is on time before the due date, and if not I will have to go log into paypal to cancel the subscription.

 

I had a look at the template file and unfortunately that file doesn't control the creation of the buttons, the actual php file does that and it is encoded as I would expect it to be.
