Setting up subscription feature

[Dubz]

I am trying to figure out how to get the subscription feature working on my forum. So far i have the following done:

•A paypal account is made to receive payment
•The member subscriber feature is enabled
•A member group is made for the subscribers
•A subscription has been made for this

Basically all i need to do now is figure out how i can enable a subscribe button on the forum page and have it so users can click, pay, and be subscribed for the time chosen. I have also done the part on the paypal account for IPN so I just need to figure out what to do from there because theirs not really a tutorial anywhere on it that i can look up and figure it out from.

They would just have to go into their profile and look for the option called "Paid Subscriptions" under the Actions tab.

thanks i fount it! is there any way i could post it on the main forum page so its easier to see and to let them know its there?

No problem I don't know about a link (it would be quite complicated if it's even possible), but you could always add a BBCode block saying something like this

Hey, did you know that you can subscribe to this site for a small fee to get extra features? To subscribe, go into your profile, and look for the option called 'Paid Subscriptions' under the 'Actions' tab!

I just took out the ';u=1' at the end and it still linked back but im still not sure if its the best. ill have to test it some more and mess around
