Paying for beeing in special a usergroup
 

Hi,

i cant find a modification doing this:

1.Doing a paypal-payment
2. After accpeted payment the user will be moved to a previous made usergroup

Is there anything in this direction?

Make PayPal active (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/paymentapi) and add a paid subscription (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/subscriptions_add) where you can set Usergroup Options accordingly.

the GeekMart is doing exactly what you require... contact The Geek if you want the beta script.. it is working nickel on any version of vB 3.5.x and 3.6.x ...

or do what Calorie is telling you, it is a existing feature on vB... subscriptions !!!

I just know it as existing feature, paying to read and write in a special Forum but not global.
Or am i wrong?

And calorie: does this work with your pay for starting thread-plugin?

You can set up a subscription so that person X gets usergroup Y permissions after payment. If usergroup Y can A, B, C, then that is what person X gets upon payment. You can also set up multiple subscriptions, so that if person X pays U, s/he gets usergroup A permissions, if person X pays V, s/he gets B permissions, etcetera. As for the 'pay to post' hack, that is a vB 3.5.4 hack (made it but never used it) so the best thing is to set up a test board and try it.
