Does anyone know about contribution #1658 by Robert Brady?

I tried to install it in the other OsC – didn’t happen. So I came here and downloaded MAX! version – glad I did.
However, I still can’t find the files I am supposed to change.
The directions read “2) Modify "catalog/templates/content/login.tpl.php" as follows:
FIND (around line 59)”

Templates doesn’t have a content folder. It has a fallback folder that has a content folder in it and a login.tpl.php file.
I thought great! He just missed a file – wrong! login.tpl.php doesn’t have a line 59 – actually in only has 49 lines total.

Does anyone know what to do? Does anyone have a better contribution I can use?
Does anyone know why this isn’t just part of the program in the first place? lOl
I am new at programming and I REALLY need a subscription!

Help!

I don't see the Membership / Subscription Only mod ported to OSCMAX here. And the one on OSC does mention the old MS2-MAX (now OSCMAX) but can't find the refence as you mention. PLEASE list the WHOLE modification part as I am sure it would have said to find "this bit of code". LOOK for the code in the file the main login.php or the "catalog/templates/fallback/content/login.tpl.php".

This mod (from 2003) may be based on a lot older version than 2.0 RC3 possably 1.5 or 1.7 which is why the line number may have changed.

osCommerce: Membership / Subscription Only

Is there anything new?
Here is the whole modification part:

Part (A)

(if you have created seperate Member's Only pages within the catalog for content, see part B below also)

1) Create your PayPal "Recurring Subscription Button" code at the PayPal website. Make sure to input the "RETURN" url (http://www.YourWebsiteURL.com/catalo...te_account.php) & the "CANCEL" url to point to your home page.

Copy the HTML code generated for the Email. You'll be inserting it in the next step.....(Keep the PayPal Window Open - You'll be back for more code in a minute - or just cut and paste all of the generated code into your text editor)

2) Modify "catalog/templates/content/login.tpl.php" as follows:

FIND (around line 59)

<td align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?></td>


REPLACE IT WITH THIS:

<td align="right"><?php echo '<a href="INSERT THE PAYPAL GENERATED EMAIL CODE HERE">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?></td>


Now the visitor will be sent to PayPal from the Login page, pay for his Membership/Subscription and be automatically returned to your website to fill out the form (catalog/create_account.php).

I thank you for any help you can give me. I don't do enough programming to create the a log in by myself. If I can't make this work, it means finding another shopping cart and starting again.
