Hello,

i've just added the ability the set a number of installments for a credit card transaction in the uc_credit.module.

It's quite common in Israel, sort of a recurring billing but only the credit card company handles everything.

anyway, I was woundering if it is needed in the ubercart core, it's not implemented as a module, but implemented pretty much like the "Credit Card Owner Name" or "CVV" Field.

I've also updated the Tranzilla payment module to accept these values.

Let me know what you guys think.

Basically you can set if you'd like to allow Installments, and if so you can set the maximum allowed number of Installments.

Regards

Idan

Hmm... I guess ideally this would be handled through the recurring fees module included in core. It's underdocumented at the moment, but it should be usable for something like this... although it would only work on a per-product basis and not an order total. I wonder if you can implement what you've done through hook_form_alter() instead of altering the credit module itself. Puzzled If so, it would make a great contrib module.

I'm not sure it fits as a recuring fee since, it really is dealt only by the credit card proccessor, you pass them the first payment amount, the number of payments and the other payment amounts.

I'll see if I can seprate it into a sperte module
