RM 1.2 Setting up the Xenforo Resource Manager as subscription-bases

[djbaxter]

I am trying to set up the XF Resource Manager (version 1.2) for the first time.

I want to make it so that in order to list something in the Resource Manager the member must have an active monthly or yearly paid subscription.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this.

First, I have set up the two subscriptions under User Upgrades. However, I'm not sure

• where a member goes to subscribe to one of the upgrades figured this out - I needed to set up the usergroup permissions
• where to find a list of members who are subscribers

Second, I have set up the Resource Manager categories and options and I see how to create a new resource there. How do I best link the User Upgrades (i.e., subscriptions) to the ability to create a new resource in the Resource Manager?

/admin.php?user-upgrades/active

Usergroup permissions -> your group -> Resource permissions -> Create resources
This will allow them to post in every category.

Resources -> Resource categories -> your category -> Permissions -> your group -> Create resources
This is how you can limit the access to specific cats.

But how do I restrict those permissions to only those members who have purchased a user upgrade?

Create new user groups, call them for example "monthly subscriber" and "yearly subscriber".
In your user upgrade, grant them the promotion to these user groups.
Then proceed with the steps mentioned before.

Have the user upgrade add them to an additional user group with those permissions.

 

[djbaxter]

When/if the user upgrade expires, would that automatically remove them from the new usergroup?

 

[S Thomas]

Yep.

Thank you for your help, @Jeremy P and @S Thomas

New problem. When I try to create a test listing, I get this error:

The requested resource could not be found.

I'm trying to create the listing in a valid category. I am an Admin so I have the correct permissions for access. It is a straight service announcement listing, no uploads, no fee for viewing or anything like that.

The error is not helpful at all, obviously. It just tells me there is an error with no clues as to what error or how to correct it.

Resolved.

This was the problem:

XenForo_Exception: Temporary image directory is not set. - library/Andy/ConvertImageResource/DataWriter.php:32

I hadn't created or specified the location of the temp directory for @AndyB's add-on.
