Problem using URL Parameter when Logged In

Hi friends,
We use to pass a value fee using an URL Parameter, so we can make the member pre-select the value in a previous screen of the site and them go to the Membership Pro form. This works great in the site if the user is not logged on, but once the user IS logged, the magic stop working.
I thought that it was due to some change in the last versions of Membership Pro, Joomla! or some other component, but I just checked an old test site, not updated, and found the same problem there. Maybe it was there since ever, but just passed unnoticed.
Can you please try to help me to find out why this happens? I think maybe it's something inside the PHP code.
You can test the behavior here:
teste.svb.org.br/ J! version 3.4.8 and Membership Pro 2.2.1
Please select a value and click "Enviar Dados". See that I attached "?osm_Valor_da_Contribuio=30" to the URL and it works, selecting the value in the form.
Now try to login using the user/pass jaburani/jaburani and find that the process is broken.
If you need the admin access to the site, just ask me.
Thank you!

Hi Gilberto

Did that user has any subscription record on your site before? If you have an existing subscription record, the system will get the data from his previous subscription (when he logged in). I think it might be the reason causing the error

Could you please go to Membership Pro -> Subscriptions, check to see whether he has any existing subscription records? If it is correct, delete the records and try again to see whether it fixed the issue?

Hi Tuan,

I thought about that too, but there's no register of subscription to that user (jaburani).

Actually I found that - if the user is logged on AND:

- the user has NO subscription plan, the value shown is the DEFAULT value to that Subscription Plan.

- the user HAS a subscription plan, the value shown is the value of the USER subscription.

(You can test it with user/pass jojojoxxx/jojojoxxx, select the value 20 in previous screen and see that it will show 30 in the MP form.)

In both cases it would be good that I could overwrite the value using the URL Parameter. But, at least, I would need to overwrite it in the case the user has NO subscription.

Thank you.

Hi Gilberto

I haven't tried but I think you can make it works like that with small modification:

1. Open the file components/com_osmembership/view/register/html.php

2. Find this line of code;

Add these lines of code after that line:
Please try that and let me know if it works

Tuan

Yes Tuan!

Thank you, it made the magic.

Do you think you are going to add that to next versions, or I'll need to take care and replace it there always?

Thank you again.

Hi Gilberto

For now, please maintain this change yourself. I will have to think about it before making the decision
