Modifies the description sent to PayPal Web Standard and Stripe payment processors for Member Signup and Renewal to show Member Renewal: Full Membership. So, when looking at PayPal and Stripe transactions, one can see what the transaction was for instead of that vague forum title of Member Signup and Renewal.
On the PayPal side, future membership signups should have a description like one of these:
527-1322-Member Renewal: Full Membership
3019-1068-Member Signup: Student Membership
On the Stripe side, the descriptions currently look like:
Member Renewal: Student Membership 783X1261 #48abe900de…
In an ideal world, the other spots that reference Member Signup and Renewal as text for that contribution page would also indicate the signup or renewal with the selected membership type. If that happens—where the description ends up with that information—then this extension will no longer be needed for this feature and it would work across all payment processors.
This has only been tested with the Stripe extension 6.8.2 and CiviCRM 5.61 with the Core PayPal Web Standard payment processors. Expect that it'll probably work with the other Core PayPal payment processors. Will need modifications to work with other payment processors.
