Entering ongoing recurring contributions

[mark0514]

Sorry if this has been asked and answered 100 times, I cant seem to find an answer. We have some recurring contributions Via paypa from before we used Civi and I need to find out how to set up their recurring contributions so they are recorded moving forward. I used the front end profile to submit a recurring contribution using their email and stopped when I got to paypal. Then, I went to that contribution and changed the date to their January contribution and changed the status to completed. Civi created the recurring contribution but the status is marked "Pending" instead of "In Progress". Now, when their February contribution (already set up in paypal) comes in, will Civi recognize it as the recurring payment and change the status? Am I done? Thank You

From the posts I have found, I dont believe this is possible. My best bet may be offline recurring payments, but it's broken for 4.5 at the moment.
