Paid conversion from a single post to an article.

[paulnicholson]

The CMS part of vbulletin suite 4.0.8 is my main website. The articles in that area are all classifieds ads.

The forum section is free, but I need each post-to-article conversion to be charged by the day (around $1). The advertiser would designate the end date of the ad and pay by paypal. After that date, the article disappears (is automatically deleted) but the forum post remains. They should be able to extend their ad as long as they like, and if possible, be automatically refunded if they pull their ad out early.

I have made sure that the CMS articles are easier to see than the forums. Not many people post on my site except advertisers. People visit to see what's listed, and advertisers provide all the content.

Replies to articles should appear in the forum section of the relevant thread, not in the CMS article.

If a post is also an article, it should be simultaneously amended when edited and vice versa (if article editing is permitted).

Event ads should be automatically listed on the relevant days in the calendar or the advertiser is taken to the calendar during the post-to-article conversion process, if possible.
