I'm having trouble with recurring payments and PayPal Pro. Here's my goal:

1 Year of Member Dues
$4.99 plus $1/month for the following 11 months, after which they must renew.
$15.29 ( which is the total of the above deal, with 10% taken off ), after which they must renew.

1 Year of [Leader] Dues
$9.99 plus $1/month for the following 11 months, after which they must renew.
$19.79 ( which is the total of the above deal, with 10% taken off ), after which they must renew.

It has been a while since we used recurring payments on this site, but I had used code in the past to tag an initiation fee onto the recurring payments, using the PayPal API. I added a line to the code to limit the billing cycles so that only 11 months were charged.

function get_fees()   { return array('1' => 4.99, '2' => 9.99); }

function initiation_fee_civicrm_alterPaymentProcessorParams( $paymentObj, &$rawParams, &$cookedParams ) {
  $fees = get_fees();
  $formid = $rawParams['contributionPageID'];

  if($fees[$formid]) {
  // This is used to add the initiation fee to the order
  $cookedParams['initamt'] = $fees[$formid];
  $cookedParams['failedinitamtaction'] = 'CancelOnFailure';           

  // This will hopefully limit the cycles to 11
  $cookedParams['totalbillingcycles'] = 11;           
  }
}

Unfortunately, I'm not having any luck. The code inside that if block is being run, but no initiation fee is charged and the charges are not recurring. Where do I have to enable recurring payments for PayPal Pro?

have u set your contrib page to be recurring. This is found in the configuration pages of the contrib page

if that is set, then i would check and ensure those params are sent to paypal ( in CRM/Core/Payment/PayPalImpl.php)
