It looks nice! Fantastic job!
If you end up uploading it to WordPress.org, please post the URL here.
You know how you talk about alittle code hack in the plugin? We should be able to handle that via a filter (or action hook). We are always open to adding more filters and action hooks that will be beneficial to extend the functionality.
I just have to be careful in changing existing functionality in the core plugin as we personally use this plugin on many of our sites. Handling the tweak via a filter or hook is a nice way to go about it.
Thanks! I would totally prefer using hooks to add that code in. I don’t like modifying another plugin that still gets updated. Let me know if and when you guys get hooks added in! Thanks for the License Manager plugin, it’s slick and I am going to enjoy using it!
Hello @fluiditystudio ,
I watch your tutorial and it looks excellent.
I have plugin which i get from developer and now i want to add license option in that plugin but you can see that developers of this plugin says that this plugin is only for developers. Can you please make a video tutorial that how we can add software license manager in our plugins?
It will great help for many new peoples.
If you aren’t a developer, then you will not understand how to add the license code required for the plugin. The reason they state that it is for developers only, is because it takes understanding PHP code to implement the Software License manager into a plugin to license it.
My suggestion would be to go back to the plugin developer that you acquired the plugin from and have them look at the Software License Manager plugin and add the necessary code to license it. Even if I showed you how to do a general license, you may not be able to add it properly to the plugin you are referring to and you could break the plugin so it doesn’t work.
It is always best to have this type of thing done by a professional coder who knows what they are doing. The developer who created the plugin is your best bet for getting this done right!
Ok thank you for your quick reply.
I will contact with him but before this I want to know that is this plugin work as when user try to activate plugin so first of all he need to enter license key and without key it will not activate and still remain deactivate in installed plugin list.
or it work like that it will activate plugin and then show license key activation.
I am asking it because developers of SLM plugin even did not show screenshots or any demo and my plugin is very simple and once it activate so any one can use short code so plugin will start working. That is why I want that it will not work till then it do not get working license key.
I found a way to fix domain in code on which user will install it but in this case I need to deliver each plugin manually.
I think your add on is not compatible with shared hosting accounts because it do not create license end point and when I click on License in user account so it give error 404 because i think flush_rewrite_rules is not allowed on shared hosting and then i manually update permalinks in permalinks settings so it works but so not show end point My_Custom_My_Account_Endpoint field in any settings.
Also it do not create licenses on my site for new orders. I check it via paypal sandbox account.
My hosting is on a shared server and I do not get a 404 when viewing licenses tab in “My Account” page. Also, PayPal Sandbox does not actually complete and order, it puts it on hold. So, a license key will not be created. It is only set to create a license key upon payment completion. So, if an actual payment is made and the order status in WooCommerce changes to completed, then a license key will be generated.
As far as your 404 error on your licenses tab in my account section, I don’t know why you are getting this as I cannot replicate it, nor do I have any errors showing up in my code through the error/debug log for WordPress. It may be something with your particular hosting service.
@fluiditystudio, does your addon work with Woocommerce subscription addons? So for example, a user might want to have a license that auto renews every 30 day?
