"HELP" What MODS do I need to add Paypal & Gallery

Post by Daxcossie »

Hi all,

I am looking to intergrate membership into the Clubs forum and I was wondering if I just needed to install some additional software in order to do this. I would like forum users to be able to pay via Paypal and then once paid it gives them full access to restricted parts of the forum aswell as telling them to renew in 12 months time etc.

Would also like to add a gallery feature for members to upload images etc, is this also possible.

Here is the site we are looking to use (Not live at present)

http://forum.daxsportingclub.com/phpBB3/

I have seen these features in an alternative forum software package:-

Any help or advice would be great : )

Thanks.

Welcome mate

Firstly here is the gallery mod http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 0&t=682765
That is the same as what we are using here.

About the subscriptions, you can add the paypal donation mod, then manually move the user into a separate group with your forum after payment. I can't off hand think if phpBB3 has the option for subscriptions via forums after payment, but it would be easy to do once you have a cleared payment.

Thanks for your reply.

Could the forum software auto handle the renewal in 12 months time ? (ie, send msg to forum user telling them there membership is due to expire etc?)

There could be a mod around in beta, but I'm not too sure. If you use the method above, paypal will automatically send out subscription renewal, you will just have to keep an eye on members keeping up payments and move them back into the other group when they don't renew.
