Topic: Deckbox community Ukraine fundraiser

Hello all,

Short interruption from regular site change news, I thought it would be a good idea to organize a little neighborly help donation drive:

Thank you!

Sebi, thank you so much for doing this!!!

Re: Deckbox community Ukraine fundraiser

Well, this was the easiest decision I've had to make in a while. Donated and plan to do more in future.

Hey SEBI,

Are the extra few months of premium good for people already subscribed or is it just for non-premium users?

Re: Deckbox community Ukraine fundraiser

Sebi, thank you for organizing this and your generous donation. You are a force for good in our committee. I'm in for the cost of FNM!
Cheers, Paul

In retrospect, I should have just said it's for everybody perhaps. The main technical complication was that there is no integration from deckbox to GlobalGiving, so I don't know which user donated to show that user a button to redeem the months. This is why I also wrote please open a ticket or email since I will add the time manually to the account.

But this is not trivial for people with active subscriptions, since I cannot change the subscription in their name (nor should I be able to), so they have to click a button to redeem the time, which would re-create the subscription with the new starting date 2 months later than normal, and then re-confirm the payment method (card, paypal etc).

I could do it by implementing a special promo flag that I set manually, and then those users with that promo flag see a button on the premium page with "Redeem 2 premium months". I'll check this out tomorrow.
