Is there a way to programmatially Modify a Membership Length
March 19, 2013, 01:34:18 pm
So I have a client who is asking for a very specific rule when it comes to memberships and it fits neither the rolling or fixed period membership types. It is closest to the fixed period, but the rule states:
Quote
If someone applies for a new membership after September 1, the expiration date roles to the following calendar year

Two use cases are:

1) I buy a membership between Jan 1 & Aug 31, I'll get a membership that lasts till Dec 31 this year.
2) I buy a membership between Sept 1 & Dec 31, I'll get a membership that lasts till Dec 31 the following year.

So #2 is actually like the fixed date rule except memberships are extended to the following year. Kinda like buying 2 memberships.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can implement this? I don't see any Drupal hooks that seem to fit.

Thanks,
GR

Hi General

You should be able to accomplish what you want by setting the Fixed Rollover Date to be Sept 1 - that way people get the remaining months of Year 1 plus Year 2 as their Membership

There Join Date would be eg Sept 5 2013

Their Start Date would be Jan 1 2013

Their End Date would be Dec 31 2014

hence they have a period where they are a member of 12 months + 3 months + 26 days.

Is that what you need?

NB the Start Date will always jump to the beginning of the current Fixed year.

petednz,

Wow... this is a case of RTFM it looks like. It says in plain English on the page that's what the Fixed Period Rollover Day is for.

Quote
Fixed Period Rollover Day
 
Membership signups after this date cover the following calendar year as well. Example: If the rollover day is November 31, membership period for signups during December will cover the following year.


I didn't realize this was a popular enough scenario that it would be built in.

Thanks a lot for your help!
