I've gotten a ton of suggestions from a bunch of different people on things that could be added to this add-on. The ability to enable or disable the purchase during the subscription will most likely be added in at some point, to give users the ability to choose between different styling options. The original purpose of this add-on was to provide a basic framework for subscribing to user groups with virtual cash, but I can definitely expand on it (maybe add in a ton of new features in a "pro" paid version).
What I hope to have eventually will be 3 different types of perks a user can gain from purchasing:
- Adding them to user groups - simple enough, already done
- Calling a PHP function when the user purchases something and when it expires
- This will let you do literally whatever you want provided you can code it (or someone else can code it )
- Adding CSS rules to different parts of the forums related to that particular member
- User profile pages - would allow you to offer different themes
- Postbit customization - change colors, borders, etc. of messages and the information to the left
- Username styling
There are many more possibilities for #3, I'd just have to make sure they are doable. These are not necessarily going to be added anytime soon (or at all), but I do plan on working to try to figure them all out (#2 shouldn't be too hard in all honesty). Here are most of the suggestions I've gotten, with the probability they will actually get implemented, and when I'm planning on implementing them by:
- Ability to purchase cash with PayPal - 60% - probably within the next week or two
- Restricting purchases to certain user groups - 90% - probably within the next week or two
- Filter purchases in the ACP - 100% - expect an update within a few days
- Prefix and suffix for currency - 100% - next few days
- Categories of items - 90% - next week or two
- PHP callbacks for purchases - 80% - next week or two
- Enable / disable purchases - 90% - next week or two
- CSS rules for different parts of the forums - 50% - probably not for a few weeks (if at all) and might be included in a reasonably priced "pro" version of this add-on, depending on the time commitment required
If there are any add-on developers who can think of a simple way to apply CSS rules to usernames and user content I mentioned earlier, please shoot me a PM.
Also, I wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and patience as I work out all the little kinks with this add-on, I'm new to this but the community here has been really supportive and helpful
