Paid Members Area
 

I am not sure if this has already been made, I don't think so.

I want to be able to offer some kidn of members area for my paid subscription members other than a forum. It could be somewhat of an enhances usercp for users in a certain usergroup.

I want them to be able to accces their webmail, access the downloads, and maybe get their subdomain information ( I could live without). I know no otherway to restrict a whole area to just one usergroup other than a forum. Could someone help?

can be doen with subscriptions and forum permissions

plus moving them into a usergroup that has access and such.

new usergroup could have a higher pm quota larger or custom avatars so on and so forth

But would I just make a normal PHP coded page and add the modification that allows users to sign on with non-vB pages. But how would I prevent non paid members from accessing it and is there a way that it can be personalized for each user, kind of like an enhances usercp?

in php it would be just as simple as connection to vbulletin and checking the usergroup id OR checking the cookie data (which i DONT know how to do but have seen it done)

Ok...I'll have to talk to a coder/scripter about doing it for me because I don't know how to do it.

Just have chdir(path to your forums here)
require_once global.php

ive released a howto for the basics of vB3 but that doesnt count checking cookies ;D

Well, your HowTo will enable me to clean up the pieces of this puzzle I've been able to put together so far, but I too need to restrict access of non-vb pages to certain usergroups, and am not sure how to do this. Don't suppose you could add onto that HowTo of yours? :D

(Thanks for that HowTo, btw. It answers a lot of questions I had floating around in my head, and will definitely help me clean up my existing work.)
