Halo guys,

I wish to have the "Subscription" role as a paid membership role.

If i define a RVSP Code to the "Subscription" role and give it to users who have Paid the money, There is a chance the the paid user can

distribute the RVSP code to other users and this allows the other users to subscribe with paying the amount.

How to prevent this from happening

Kindly resolve this issue.

All replies are appreciated

Regards,

deepak

The RSVP code is used to automatically apply Roles, and yes it could be passed on to others which means it's not something that can be unique per user/customer.  I'm not sure how you're processing payments, but perhaps the easiest solution is to use either the built in PayPal provider or a third party solution from SnowCovered to give people the Subscription role.

As a last option, you could create a custom solution by modifying core (though that's always a risk since you may have to update it every update to DNN).  The code for determining whether an RSVP is valid is located here:

admin\Users\MemberServices.ascx.vb

This area of code in particular:

'Parse the roles
                For Each objRole In arrRoles
                    If objRole.RSVPCode = code Then
                        'Subscribe User to Role
                        objRoles.UpdateUserRole(PortalId, UserInfo.UserID, objRole.RoleID)
                        blnRSVPCodeExists = True
                        PortalSecurity.ClearRoles()

                        'Raise SubscriptionUpdated Event
                        OnSubscriptionUpdated(New SubscriptionUpdatedEventArgs(False, objRole.RoleName))
                    End If
                Next

What you could do is simply look up predefined one-time codes in a database or file and validate them against what the user passed.  The simplest solution is usually the most logical, what I would do is provide users with numbers divisable by a prime like 17 mixed in with random letters.  I would then strip out the letters to get the number divisible by the prime.  E.g. An RSVP of a8hu5as0 = 850 = 850/17 = Valid.
