Hi there,

I am working on a society site in Australia where the common anniversary date of each membership is June 30 of that financial year. Australian financial years are from July 1 to June 30. I have used the Use Case 3 in the manual to set these plans up and have given all members a bonus time of 3 month such that they are able to register from April, May or June and receive membership for the next calendar year. Now I have realised that I am unable to set this expiry date, it is set in at the calendar year end (i.e. December 31).

After doing some research, I believe that I should use the sql to reset the expiry date for all users upon activation to June 30 of that year. I have some questions:
1) If I do this, will this affect the three month bonus? How will it?
2) Obviously, I will need to go in and alter the code each year?
3) Will this have any other impacts that I am just missing?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Deb

I read this which I wasn't able to find before: www.joomlapolis.com/forum/88-usage/133657-subscription-period-and-australian-fiscal-year

It is helpful, so now I understand how to set the sql, but am still concerned about the bonus time working. Is that based on the expiration date only?

My question is whether or not bonus time is calculated from the expiration date or subscription date? My end goal is to (just have we both have indicated) to provide annual common anniversary dates on June 30th and to provide 3 bonus months which will allow anyone registering from April 1st to be enrolled for the next subscription year. I am just trying to understand the logic (i.e. how things are calculated)
