Hello
This has been discussed before (about 3 years ago) in the following thread...
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/87-presales/223803-cbsubs-and-coupons-gifts
but there was no solution back then. The ability for members to offer gift subscriptions to other members came up for us again as a must have for a community website.
So...
Having in mind that this tutorial...
www.joomlapolis.com/documentation/18407-purchasing-discount-coupons
works like a charm and with this tutorial a user can order a Merchandise plan for coupon that he can offer to other user, the big question is...
how will he offer it? He does not know any contact details of the receiver! Most members on most communities do not have e-mail public.
Example...
I visit your profile.
When i am viewing it i have an option to activate a gift subscription for you, directly from your profile (tab, button, anything). I pay, activate it... and you receive a system mail that member X has activated a gift subsription for you.
I am not a programmer and i do not know how hard this may be.
Maybe this can already be done through auto actions or some other plugin. If so... please guide us!
Thank you in advance.
