[Phpbms-users] Using Credits

[Tomas Q. <to...@gm...>]

I've posted a question on the phpbms forums in the Features, Issues & Bugs
section, however I would also like to post a copy here to see if that will
result in a quicker response. A copy of my post can be found on the forums:

I'm trying to setup credits, let me give a little background.

We run a LAN party and are looking to take PayPal payments in prior to each
months event. We will then credit the amount to the attendee's account. For
this scenario:

John Doe sends $25.00 to our PayPal account
We issue a credit for $25.00
John Doe purchases a general admission ticket ($15.00)
John Doe purchases a drink ($1.00)

How would I go about issuing those credits and debits? I have unsuccessfully
tried to issue credits through the Receipts system, but I don't believe I'm
fully grasping the concept. Additionally, clients I have attempted to credit
now have a -$50 credit on their account, versus the $25.

Basically, I want to be able to set an amount the person can spend, and
dynamically update it as they send in more funds.

I appreciate any assistance, and if this app is able to meet our needs, we
look forward to donating (if you all are accepting donations).

Thanks,
Tomas
