OK, I tried Stoob's solution... I doesn't give me any error but only the first installment is settled. Please see attached image, where it says "Recurring Billing Transaction: N".

I've been trying to do this myself for some time. I have tried Stoob's proposal and then I have tried using this: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2009.

I'm using CiviCRM 2.2.8; I'd definitely appreciate if someone dropped me a line on a basic explanation. I have it all more or less like this:

- database tables turned is_recur to 1,
- URLs for Authorize.NET API correct (https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api)
- applied Stoob's codes/files
- implemented the above fix in issues.civicrm.org too.

Any insights?... Thanks in advance!!!

As it stands this minute CiviCRM will notify Authorize.net to start a recurring billing and that initial billing will be recording in CiviCRM as a contribution of "recurring" type with X number of installments in $X amount.

Stoob, sounds promising -- I may be giving this a shot myself shortly. So do I understand correctly that the recurring transactions must have a specific number of installments, and can't be open-ended?

FYI:  I have hired a developer to finish this functionality and expect to be finished in the next couple weeks.  The developer has been working on it for a while and says he is in the testing phase now.  We should have a fully functioning recurring billing integration for CiviCRM and Authorize.net including silent post.  I will post code to update once I receive it from developer and it has been tested. 

I suspect we'll want to add this to core distribution once it's tested. What release is your developer applying changes to (hopefully 3.0 or 3.1). Ping us so we can file an issue and have you attach a patch etc. once things are stable / tested.

NB - it's somewhat ironic timing you got someone to do it because I had been thinking about doing it if the interested parties committed to making a suitable donation to the Haiti relief fund

I will ask my client about it, and think they might be willing to contribute.

I just received a version from my developer this morning.  I have not had a chance to fully review what he has done.  I will post here in the next couple days with an update.  The development was done for the latest stable release 3.0.  I have not reviewed all the developed features yet and am unsure if canceling payments is available.

Just bumping this thread. Any update on the status and scope of this development?  (My client anxiously awaiting info.)

Hi happyloman, Thank you, but I get a "this file is damaged" message when trying to unzip.

Is there a chance that you could attach it again? maybe only the php(.txt) files, without zipping? (they're only 8k)

Thanks again

Wow - that's a really different approach. I guess it's a drupal only module huh?

I'll take a closer look soon to see what he has done but the core team will need to look to see if it can be integrated into the core or has to be maintained separately.
