Topup time ; accumulative or time to finish

[mymanga]

I wanted to ask, the value topped up for a permanent user under the time profile, does is stop counting after the specified time or does the counter stop when a user logs out.
for example if a user tops up 1 day, at 7pm, will there time expire tomorrow at 7 pm or will the counter stop when the user logs out i.e. 5 hours today, 4 hours tomorrow, 6 hours the next day and so on and so fourth.

I have been doing a bit of reading and from what i get is that the time profile in Radiusdesk is set to "Max-All-Session" which is accumulative time. I want to change this to "Access-Period" so that a users account expires at a fixed date since the last top.
E.g. A one week top expires 7 days from the date of topup. Is this possible???

Anyone???? :(

Hi Barnabie,

I suggest you to read this link:

Hi Barnabie,

Sorry for the slow response.

There has been provision made for this by the days_to_use field in the top-ups table.

The code around it however was never completed. I did something similar for people on YFi a few years ago.

So what happens a person does a CC x-action and based on the number of days the perosn choose their account expiry date is extended each time.

So it is a matter of adding the plumbing around the add code to see if there is a days_to_use provided and if so it will ADD those days to the current expiry date of the account.

Dirk,
Is that anyway we can set the Expiration date and time for individual permanent user based on rather than set in profile component
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS? which i know is Expiration attribute. Compare to current setup is only date in basic info.

Temporary solution is to manual inject attribute into radcheck table

for eg. [username] Expiration := 20 Nov 2014 07:00:00
so the username will timeout when that time reach.

Cheers

Hi, any update on the days_to_use feature with the new radiusdesk (cakephp3, freeradius3 etc). Is the "plumbing" done
