Adding a waiver and updating fields after subscription payment

When someone completes a subscription (membership) for our club, they must then complete a waiver.  Once the waiver is signed their user account is updated to allow them full access to the member area.  We need to retain the date signed and the userid->name of the person who signed (especially for minors who may not have accounts).  The way I see this is that once a new (or renewed ) subscription is complete and paid for, the user is redirected to the waiver form.  At this point we know the user_id & the subscription_id.  Once the waiver is completed, the account for user_id is set to access_level waiver_signed , and the subscription is updated with the date signed and the user signed (2 custom fields) (this will require some more manipulation for minors - but just looking at the adult who must sign for self, at this point)).  It looks like when the subscription record is written to the database, every field is given a row in the field value records - even if it not completed.  I would make them hidden fields to be filled in later.
So my questions, 
1. Either before or after payment, can I redirect to the Convertforms - waiver form - passing the user_id and subscription_id  so the form (which has an 'after form submit' PHP script section) can update user user_acnt and the 2 subscription field_value records as needed.
2. Can I then return to membershipPro subscription and complete the process (payment if after payment) and confirmation page and email
I don't know if this is something that is in your documentation that I am missing or if this would have to be some form of override but if you could steer me in the right direction I hope I will be able to work it out from there.  Perhaps someone else has encountered the situation on their own site.  
We will be using Paypal only for payment.


 

Hello

In each subscription plan, there is a parameter called Subscription Complete URL. Enter URL of the form you want there and when users completed payment for the subscription, they will be redirected to that URL

If you want to pass more subscription data to that URL, I guess you would need to override the subscription complete layout at components/com_osmembership/view/complete/tmpl/default.php and add the code to redirect to the page you want.

You can use $this->rowSubscriber->user_id to get ID of the user. $this->rowSubscriber->id to get ID of the subscription record....

That's for after payment only. For before payment, I'm afraid of it is complicated to handle what you want

Oops - I can't find that file - components/com_osmembership/view/complete/tmpl/default.php. There is no 'complete' in the view directory.
 
 

Look like you checked the backend folder administrator/components/com_osmembership/view

Please make sure you check components/com_osmembership/view folder and you should see the file I mentioned

Thank you.  The  Subscription Complete URL works well and I have looked at the components/com_osmembership/view/complete/default.php.  It would seem to me that by doing an override on that file - as the file does a great deal more than handling a redirect - if you were to change the file in an update I would not pick up your changes as they would not go into the override file.  I am looking at other possibilities. 

All I really need is the subscription_id.  With sql I can get any further information from within the form.  I think that if I can insert this code  $this->rowSubscriber->id components/com_osmembership/view/complete/tmpl/default.php , insert $this->rowSubscriber->id templates/template_name/html/com_osmembership/common folder/default.php - but called what? How do we connect the override file to the original file. (I got the templates/template_name/html/com_osmembership/common folder from another forum post

I don't think that is correct. How do I achieve an override on a file? I am reading 'Override method in a view class' but that doesn't seem to be the right thing and is quite different than what I am reading in various forum post. Please clarify for me.

Hello

If you want to get ID of the subscription record somewhere, you can use this code:

Joomla has it own Session API, and you should use it instead of calling session functions from PHP directly
