[SOLVED] default lifetime subs versus free trial

13 years 1 month ago - 13 years 1 month ago #157319 by alienfouine
Hi,

It is my first website with CBSubs. I have a small issue. I have read the documentation and the forum but I am afraid of doing something the wrong way.

Here is my case:

I do have 2 profiles of members:
1) free members (no access to special features)
2) subscribers (with access to sprecial features) with different duration period

The price of the subscription depends on the duration.
I want to give automatically a subscription trial period to all my new members.

so during registration, I want my visitor to get, by default, a 3 months free subscription.
At the end of the 3 months: they can buy a subscription. If not they become "free member".

Si I have created a "free member" plan which is the membership "by default" (and allow registration: "no").

Then I have created several subscription plans with several duration (allow registration: "yes").. In the registration form, I would like to have one of them selected by default.

But I guess that I can't set a subscription trial "by default" as I already have a "free member" plan which is "by default" ?!

With other words: I want to get a plan selected by default in the registration form which is different from the default lifetime membership.

Is there a way to solve my issue ?

I have a "dirty" proposal:

Plan: free trial subs
selected by default: Yes
Allow registration: Yes
Total number of occurrences of regular validity/price: 1

Plan: 1 year subs
selected by default: No
Allow registration: No
Total number of occurrences of regular validity/price: 0

Plan: free lifetime member
selected by default: Yes
Allow registration: No
Total number of occurrences of regular validity/price: 0

I guess It is going to work.. at least during the registration process but I am afraid of having 2 "by default" plans at the same levels because I saw it is not designed to do so...

I finally found a simple way to do what I want in the general CB subs settings:

Allow Free Registered Users (without subscriptions): NO

then I display ine the registration form all my plans except the "free member" plan.

Then my visitors have to select it to be able to registrate, which is fine for me.

Sorry about that.
