[SOLVED] CB Subs and promotions until a specified date

Hi,

I have set up 6 plans for my site.

What I need is for 2 of these plans to be offered on free trial until 31st December. So access to the web site would be free up until 31st December for those plans only.

I have been through the promotions area and I can't see how to do this. The date here is not because we want to normally run calendar based subs, so the Timing tab doesn't work, it's just a launch promotion until the end of the year.

A normal subscription lasts a year, so I've created these plans appropriately, but I can't see how to allow sign up to these plans for free for a limited period and then to start charging from 1st January.

Would you let them sign up to the plans for free, using a basic coupon and then have to manually expire them on the 31st December?

Or is there some other way I'm missing?

Thanks,

You don't need CBSubs Promotions for this. Edit your plans then select the Pricing tab. Once there set "Is the first amount and period different:" to "Different first period and price for Registration and Upgrade". Now set "First payment price of plan:" to "0" and set "Initial validity duration:" to "This calendar year". This would give them a free trial until end of year (December 31st by default). You'll need to edit the plan and remove this at the end of the year though so people don't get free years of next year. Don't see how you could do this with a coupon as it has no control over plan expiration.

Subject to further testing, this seems to work great.

Thanks,
