[freeside] First Month Charges

[Luke Pfeifer]

Hi Everyone:

 Here is what I added to the script to make this option work.  I am not 
sure on my "wording" of it for the description but it works just as I 
planned.  The first month is charged the recurring fee and not prorated 
and then the next bill date will be the 1st of the next month.

 I added this code starting at line 200.  Please feel free to add this 
to an upcoming release and let me know what you think of it..It seemed 
pretty easy to hack up.

Hope this helps you all!!

Luke

  'flat_non_prorate' => {
    'name' => 'First month full charge, then flat-rate billing from 1st 
of month',
    'fields' =>  {
      'setup_fee' => { 'name' => 'Setup fee for this package',
                       'default' => 0,
                     },
      'recur_fee' => { 'name' => 'Recurring fee for this package',
                       'default' => 0,
                      },
    },
    'fieldorder' => [ 'setup_fee', 'recur_fee' ],
    'setup' => 'what.setup_fee.value',
    'recur' => '\'my $mnow = $sdate; my 
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = (localtime($sdate) )[0,1,2,3,4,5]; 
my $mstart = timelocal(0,0,0,1,$mon,$year); $sdate = $mstart; \' + 
what.recur_fee.value ',
 },
