Trophy/User Upgrades Questions

[Jake Hakoda Shirley]

Hey guys, I am looking for a way to have my registered members to have a "free" trial. I want them to be put into a group for x days but then removed after that. Is there any way I can accomplish this?

That's not currently possible - you would have to manually move them.

There is a trophy promotion add-on, but it doesn't remove members from user groups.

That's what I was afraid off...

You can always try asking in the add-on requests forum.

I think this might be related. It was something I suggested not too long ago: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/user-upgrade-trials.13161/

That's pretty much what I wanted. I suggested a feature in the Trophy User Group thread. Hopefully I can get this working

In the meantime, maybe you could set up a cron job and a custom usergroup (for the trial) and have the cron job remove people from the trial usergroup It only needs to be ran once a day.

I can try. Anyone want to pass along a Cron Entry guide for Xenforo?

I'm no expert but if you take a look at the existing XenForo cron jobs you might be able to figure it out:
admin.php?cron/

I came up with something based off of trophies. Probably not even in the ball park.

<?php

/**
* Cron entry for trial checking
*
* @package XenForo_Trial
*/
class XenForo_CronEntry_Trial
{
    /**
    * Runs the cron-based check for trial termination
    */
    public static function runTrialCheck()
    {
        /* @var $userModel XenForo_Model_User */
        $userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');

// Assuming that 13 is the group number for your trial members
// Assuming that 'timeinseconds' is a real number

        $users = $userModel->getUsers(array(
            'secondary_goup_ids' => 13,
            'register_date' => array('>', XenForo_Application::$time - timeinseconds)
        ));

        foreach ($users AS $user)
        {
// Not too sure on how to set fields...
            $user['secondary_group_ids'] = null;
        }
    }
}
