Allow option to set a start date for recurring payments (Paypal)

(1/1)

AliB:
Paypal Pro has a feature to allow Payment profiles to start from a certain date. Advice seems to say that many potential donors would prefer to start payments at a later date.

Is this a possibility?

Donald Lobo:

I think eileen might have investigated / added this as an option for authorize.net

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-8317

Might want to investigate and see if you can use that patch to build and improve upon it for paypal pro

AliB:
Ok doesn't seem that hard. An array is defined in Form/Contribution.php that defines all the payment processors that accept future start payments. I need this array to be shared with Form/Contribution/Main.php. Where's the best place to put it?

AliB:
And I'm new to patching and svn and contributing to the open source scene. Can you recommend a tutorial?

Thanks

Donald Lobo:

A description of patch is here:

http://drupal.org/patch

You basically test your changes, and once satisfied create a patch, file an issue and attach the patch to the issue
