Plugin Management & Membership

0

Hi guys,

I have a few questions and problems.

On our site – 4.biz – we plan to have 3 membership levels. The site is aimed at blogging for businesses.

The first level is free and is just a basic blogging package. No problems here.

The second level we plan to charge a small amount, and for this the bloggers can choose to syndicate their posts out to a database of appropriate contacts – we are looking to develop a plugin which does this.

The third level we plan to charge a bit more, and for this they get the same plugin as at level 2, but also enter our business and product index, we also want to develop a plugin which will automate this.

So our problem is, once we have developed the two plugins, is there a way to make the appropriate plugins available to only the members who have subscribed to the corresponding packages?

Also, if anybody can help us with developing the plugins, we would be happy for them to contact us and send a quote for doing the work. Please send an email to [email protected].

Thanks,

Damian.

    You can add a small bit of code into the initialisation function of your plugins to check if they should make themselves available (i.e. add the menus / pages that they would).

    $user = wp_get_current_user();

    $member = new M_Membership($user->ID);

    if($member->on_sub( $subidyouwanttocheck )) {

    // the bit of code that adds the menus, etc...

    }

    Note: if there is interest from a few people, I will look into creating an available plugins rule as an add-on to the membership plugin.

    @Barry I just have a specific question. I have been able to customize most of the experience. One big sticking point is the email generated by wordpress. I really want to be able to change the url in that welcome email.

    Do you have any idea where this text (in the email sent to the user) is coming from and how I may

    change that? I have changed a bunch of stuff in wp-login.php (and backed it up of course) but for the life of me cannot figure out how to change the text that goes into the emails?

    Have any ideas? I/m kinda new to wpmu dev, sorry for all the questions. Would this be good for a live chat?
