Hello

Does anyone know of a good solution for creating a sign up or registration form that goes along with a paypal subscription?

I've used Ubercart for this (i.e., pay a fee to paypal and get a password to the site for access), works like a charm.

I tried it, but got a bit overwhelmed with all the options, and wasn't sure how to set just the registration along with paypal subscription.

I gonna look into it a bit more.

are there any extra modules that can help this make it a smoother ride?

If you only need paypal subscriptions, the http://drupal.org/project/lm_paypal module is probably much easier to handle.

Thanks!

But how can lm_paypal work with the registration aspect of it?

I basically want the user to sign up to the drupal site only after the have subscribed and payed through paypal.

I'm not exactly sure of the details or workflow, but according to the module's project page:

lm_paypal_subscriptions which works with lm_paypal to provided paid role memberships.

Yes, great idea. I have set up lm_paypal for just this sort of functionality, and it works very nicely. All of these features are built in.

One issue with lm_paypal is it really wants you to have a valid login id before you can subscribe for more content. If you want to combine the registration to the site with paying for the access via paypal, this integration is not provided (as far as I can tell).

There may be a way to extend the registration process so that as part of the registration, you get directed to the subscribe page automatically. If anyone has done that, I'd be very interested.

Thanks,

Hoople,
I made a module which I sell which does this. The user can select which subscription he wants to purchase as he registers (there is a setting to require them to choose a subscription at registration) and then they are redirected to the Paypal payment page. The user account they make is blocked until they complete the payment, at which time it is activated and they are given the role they paid for. If you are interested, there are some screenshots and more info here: http://www.moneyscripts.net/drupal-paypal-subscriptions

EDIT: I have an updated version of the module which now waits until AFTER the user has paid before creating the account. This reduces the problem of abandoned accounts that are never paid for or activated, causing lots of headaches.
