XF 2.2 Prevent a user or group from purchasing subscription

[ecsuser]

I would like to prevent certain regular members from purchasing a yearly subscription. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Regards

You would need to create another upgrade which can't be purchased, disable the other upgrade when that upgrade is active, and manually apply it to the member.

Thanks for the quick response - looking at that solution now.

A bit of a faf, but I have done this by using a conditional to hide the account_upgrade template from that group, and also hide the link in account_visitor_menu for that group.

@Brogan That did indeed work - thank you

I don't like that when he clicks on the upgrade link - it shows that he is already subscribed to the 'Idiot' group I guess I'll rename that.

I would appreciate it if you could share how you got this to work as I am looking for a similar solution.

1 Remove the link out of template account_visitor_menu for user group id 31

Search for this bit of code

<xf:if is="$xf.app.userUpgradeCount">
            <li><a href="{{ link('account/upgrades') }}" class="menu-linkRow">{{ phrase('account_upgrades') }}</a></li>
        </xf:if>

And apply conditional for user group to not see it:

<xf:if is="{{!$xf.visitor.isMemberOf(31)}}">
        <xf:if is="$xf.app.userUpgradeCount">
            <li><a href="{{ link('account/upgrades') }}" class="menu-linkRow">{{ phrase('account_upgrades') }}</a></li>
        </xf:if>
        </xf:if>

2. Hide the whole upgrade page in template account_upgrade

At the top of that template

<xf:if is="{{!$xf.visitor.isMemberOf(31)}}">

And at the bottom

</xf:if>
