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

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?

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

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?

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

Thanks

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
