I'll not open my vb forum until

[rafael9258]

Hi @ all
I bought my license on february 2007, I have not been able to open my site due to
lack of knowledge in this matter but, thanks to god that I've learned a bit.
My site will have over 700 files to be downloaded and very important informations.
I would dera to say that it is the best information of the world.

My question is :
How do I put my forum under donations system.
I mean that if you want to be a member of my forum you have to make a donation first.

Thanks,

[Dean C]

The best information in the world eh ;) You going to be hosting a cure for cancer and the common cold?

I suspect you could use the built-in Paid Subscriptions system

You could edit it so that a user can register but can't actually post/read threads etc until they have bought the paid subscription with paypal etc :)

Thank you djdonx for your answer
I would like to charge one time donation only i do not know if a paid subscription system would work.
I have come here because i understand that vbulletin.com and vbulletin.org are the best site to get information about our software, this two site are the ( father and son).

Any body else have some help about this ,any information count to me.

I don't think you can make it so that the subscription is permanent but you could just make the subscription length abnormally long like 10 years :)

There should be a mod called "Pay to register" or something along those lines for 3.6.+ I would check that out as well as another option =)
