This thread discusses the big news CBSubs 3.0 goes GPL ! .

IMO, this is awesome news !!!

Indeed, we have been very busy in December and during Christmas holidays...

Here the changelog for CBSubs GPL 3.0:

Of course, the big news is that we have changed the license to GPL, which we are quite excited to have finally implemented this long time decision.

To do that, we have reviewed the complete source-code of CBSubs, and at same time have speeded up the code and reduced the memory footprint, which took quite a bit of work.

Most important new features are below in bold.

One last thing that made it into CBSubs GPL 3.0: #3646: CBSubs content integration plugin allows to display CBSubs substitutions[/b], e.g. price of a plan with currency conversions !

and here is how to use it (with CB Content CBSubs integration plugin and cbpaidsubsbot both active):Where PlanId is the id of the plan. Following substituions for the "CB plan substituion text" can be used (you find them in plan Thank You messages Emails substituion description texts listed too) for the plan (in addition of all usual CB user substitutions and if's):

Plan/Product substitutions:

[PLAN_NAME], [PLAN_ALIAS], [PLAN_DESCRIPTION], [PLAN_REGISTRATION_PRICE] and [PLAN_UPGRADE_PRICE] (both display period and price),

[PLAN_PRICE] (display generic period and price for plan, or amount donated for donation with currency, or price with currency of product for a merchandise),

[PLAN_RATE] and [PLAN_FIRST_RATE] are numeric values, and in case of donations, the donation amount converted into the donation plan's currency

Of course information will only be displayed for plans that are available for upgrade if logged in, or for registration for guests.

Cheers!

Actually as a Developer member you can download CBSubs GPL 3.0 from the Developer download area.

In fact you should be able to see and download the following CBSubs GPL related items from the Developer Download area:

1. CBSubs GPL 3.0 package
2. CBSubs GPL 3.0 Extra Payment Gateways package
3. CBSubs GPL 3.0 Documentation
4. CBSubs GPL 3.0 pre-built package with CB
5. CBSubs GPL Developers Gateway API documentation
6. CBSubs GPL Developers Integration API documentation

Item #4 is basically a single install of CB and main CBSubs GPL elements. You can make your own package also by visiting the Downloads -> CB Packager page where CBSubs GPL is now also included.

Please verify that you can access the above.

Also, you can migrate your existing CBSubs license to a CBSubs GPL Membership subscription and this way have access to the CBSubs GPL Download area here:

where you will find similar download items excluding #5 and $6 which are API docs related with your Developer membership.
