  • ADDED: members with vaults method to vault model
  • ADDED: method to permissions model to get permissions related to a specific sub_id
  • ADDED: method to permissions tag where you can pass a sub_id to check for active permissions. If the sub_id is closed, the permissions will not be assigned
  • ADDED: method to subscriptions field type to pull permissions that have been set in permissions manager
  • ADDED: method to subscriptions to find any vault data even if the token is missing so that we start with something, rather than having nothing to go on if something goes wrong with a transaction.
  • ADDED: method to update / close permissions if the related subscription is expired.
  • ADDED: method to use status and other db fields in subscription model to get_subscriptions. Now you can use status='open' or status='open|pending' as a parameter in the subscriptions tag to get information about subscriptions
  • ADDED: pending subscriptions view to subscriptions manager.
  • ADDED: method to see when next bill is expected for a certain sub.
  • FIXED: an issue with sequential order numbers in subscriptions
  • FIXED: clean_sub_data method in module no longer sets bad data if a specific key is not passed in. This allows sending of partial data sets without overwriting existing data that is not being updated
  • FIXED: issue where permissions were assigned twice when purchasing subscription products.
  • FIXED: issue with subscriptions field type where if you’d set it as the price field you’d get crazy prices back. Now it just gets the price of the sub as you might expect.
  • FIXED: issue with subscriptions model where arrays were not being serialized. This primarily affected permissions being saved correctly.
  • FIXED: issues in module where permissions were not being serialized and unserialized correctly, causing permissions added to a subscription to either be ignored, or only the first permission set to be used.
  • FIXED: issues with adding a plan to the cart where plan data was either being ignored or added incorrectly.
  • FIXED: issues with deleting subscription items from the backend.
  • FIXED: Many small issues and inconsistencies with Permissions and Subscriptions
  • FIXED: various fixes to subs and perms field types to get around incompatibility with GRID field type
