Default Membership card

I have a vbulletin forum, Is thier a way to provide my members with a membership card electronicallt, with some sort of hack or something.

In other words if a member wants a membership card he can just login to our forum and click on a link and put his name in and then it automatically provides a printable or downloadble membership card that shows our logo etc, but with his member name and maybe number or not.

Any ideas on this, because having them printed locally and mailed is expensive.

Thanks

otis

This would rock for a forum of mine. It's a club site and club members are eligible for discounts at various stores around the state by being a member. This would make things so much easier for us.

I am looking for the same exact thing but would only like to allow members who are paid subscribers be able to print out the membership card which in turn would get them discounts at sponsors/advertisers. Would be even better if it printed the term of the subscription on the card so that the card could not be used indefinitely after the subscription expires. Will pay for this hack if well done.

This is of extreme interest to me. Will pay for a nicely done plugin.

<font color="navy">Yes this is a good idea but what would keep them from printing their own? I could use it on at least one of my sites too.</font>

Nothing would prevent them from printing them on their own, in fact that exactly what I want them to be able to do, but only while they have a valid subscription.

Yeah but then other people could get the image and photoshop themselves and their own info to it. How would you keep the valid subscribers apart from the leechers? To keep validity of cards you'd need a system like a bar code or something for your vendors.

I believe the vendors would have access to a database system which would show information about that user, including names, original photo (if this has to be uploaded before they're able to print out the finished card), age, gender, etc.

However, this would require a little bit of coding, if there are several vendors/sponsors with different access/discount and so on and so forth.

It'd be one hell of a job, yes, but it'd pay off.

<font color="darkgreen">Well you could give the vendors a login on your site so they can validate the members id card. Maybe the vendor could enter in info too when purchases are made so you both can track sucess/failure of promotions etc.</font>

I don't need anything as complicated as bar codes and such.
