Paypal Subscriptions 4.8 Release Notes

Submitted by Leighton Whiting on Fri, 09/11/2009 - 18:11

I've been wanting to incorporate some nice charts in this module for a long time, but haven't had much time to code them. Then yesterday I decided just to bang it out, and what I came up with was a brand spanking new module: Paypal Subscriptions Charts! It is bundled with Paypal Subscriptions from 6.x-4.8 and on for free. There is no additional software that you need to download and install, everything is included in the download for it to run out of the box, just install the module and enjoy the nice Flash charts in the Reports section of Drupal. Check out the screenshots below to see some of the charts. Another cool thing is I changed the way the return url works so that Auto Login will now work with any Thank-You page you specify, and not just the default one. I also made permissions more granular so that you can better control who can access the settings pages. I added a field into the database schema in preparation for an update I am planning to add some new features, so be sure to run update.php after you install this!

Cheers,

Leighton
