I am searching for a mod that automatically sends out a renewal email with payment link when the featured listing is about to expire. There seems to be an old one but the site is not working anymore. Needed for a 2.1 version directory. If I can't find one, I'm willing to pay a developer to code this for me.

I don't know of one for 2.1, but this is pretty close for 3.2 and above. It reports what is expiring:

Thanks, but I don't really need a report. I need an automated system that emails exipiring link owners with a payment link to renew their links for another year. Would be nice to be able to set the interval like 1 week before expiration, then again on the expiration date. This has to have been done before?

Can be done, but would be a custom mod running at probably a couple of hours work. There was a mod available from on developer that did this, but they no longer support anything they do.

Best bet would be to post in the jobs section for a quote. (www.phplinkdirectory.com/jobs (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/jobs))

Or, I did a similar thing foir a client that sent him a notification when any listing was about to expire and probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch to adapt that to send to the user with a payment link.

Doesn't the link directory set up a subscription to Paypal when selecting yearly??

Only when you have subcriptions turned on and the user chooses that option, but that was not what the original posted was asking.

@original poster : I do have a Cron for this now.

"There seems to be an old one but the site is not working anymore. Needed for a 2.1 version directory."


we have had that in the jobs area for over a year for the free version

sends out email with payment link and then renews the expiry

and yes runs on cron.


No need to spend the money deving it.... pay for it to be installed 1 hour
