Additional Free Trial Features

[mcpacific]

I was looking around for support for a way to offer free trials for multiple products, each with a different trial period, reminder email and termination email and I thought the easiest way to do that would be to modify the official WHMCS free trial mod (action hook) by adding a couple variables and adding some additonal code:

 

First, adding two variables to the $freetrials array:

 

"reminderdays" => "25",

"reminderemail" => "Whatever Product Trial Reminder",

 

Then, adding an additional foreach loop (above the original):

 

# First, check to see if any reminders need to be sent

foreach ($freetrials AS $data) {

$pid = $data["pid"];

$reminderdays = $data["reminderdays"];

$reminderemail = $data["reminderemail"];

$trialreminder = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-$reminderdays,date("Y")));

$query = "SELECT * FROM tblhosting WHERE packageid=".(int)$pid." AND domainstatus='Active' AND regdate='$trialreminder'";

$result = full_query($query);

while($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$id = $data["id"];

sendMessage($reminderemail,$id);

}

}

 

This way you can offer as many free trials as you wish, each with varying lengths and completely unique emails.

 

Enjoy!

Hi, to which file should I add the code?

I would like to use it not for hosting accounts but for a trial software installation on the server. It's a 60 days trial, I just needthe reminder to be sent before the expiration date. How can I do it?

 

Thanks
