I have a rather ordinary setup for one type of membership: 3 different periods for the same kind of membership => three plans.

Now, a new "club" is starting up and this club will have its own content, menus and forums, without any direct relationship with the first three plans.

Is this a typical situation where I would use the parent/child setup in two groups or should I just go for a fourth plan?

In the latter case, I guess I would have to avoid the possibility to upgrade from any of the other three, since this one is a stand alone membership?

Thanks

Sorry for being unclear

Let's say I have a site where food is the thing. Users pay to get access to food recipes, discussions and newsletters. The may pay for a 1, 2 or 3 years subscription.

Food is the main thing, but now we will open a wine section where users will pay to be invited to wine tasting, discuss and rate wine.

"Food members" don't have to subscribe to the wine section and will not upgrade from the food subscription to the wine subscription, but rather be presented to the wine section/subscription as an additional possibility, for 1, 2 or 3 years.

Hope I managed to describe the scenario - how would I best take advantage of CBSubs in this case?

Thank you!

I actually started to test that out and found it's working

...however, what if I just would like to have the three Food plans listed on the "main" subscription page and have the Wine plans published on a specific page - maybe along the lines of what you said earlier: "...providing them a URL somewhere so they won't be present on all registration pages"?

Is it possible to hide the three Wine plans that way?
