[SOLVED] CBSubs - Plan choice as part of new group creation

11 years 9 months ago - 11 years 9 months ago #206753 by shardnzl
Hi all, there's a pulldown to make choosing a plan part of registration, but how would I make this part of creating a new group? Please, pretty please let this be possible :-)

Pulldown? There's no such thing unless you're referring to our dropdowns, which is a custom integration for Joomlapolis usage only. Not sure what you mean for new group creation. Usergroups? GroupJive groups? Both could be done with a dropdwon created in CB > Field Management then use CB Auto Actions to create usergroups or if in case of GJ can use the GJ Auto integration to create groups based off that dropdown.

As always Krileon - you are a shining star :-)
Basically my client wants it so that whenever a GroupJive member clicks "add a group" that it automatically adds a new plan to their collection (or gives them the option to choose one). Auto assignment is probably easier and they can update it with their profile subscription tab later. Effectively he wants people to pay for their groups - the more groups you have the more plans you have to manage.
Is this possible - to add plan selection to group creation?
Cheers bud

Nope.

I suggest adding a plan that protects the "Create Group" URL using By URL Part so people need to subscribe to create a group. The URL Part you'd protect is as follows.

option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbgroupjive&action=groups&func=new

So now when they click "Create Group" and if they aren't subscribed it'll ask them to do so. You could then charge a monthly, yearly, etc.. fee for them to continue to have access to create groups.

Gidday Kyle, interesting workaround - i hadn't thought of that - but it won't quite meet the clients needs as we want a plan associated with each group they make (as the plan is what limits the feature-set for the group). What I've done instead is to use your excellent and amazing Auto Actions plugin to make it that when someone creates a new group that it automatically adds a free (limited features) plan to the owner and then updates a separate relationship table in the database that tells the system which group id (and owner id) that plan belongs to. In this way the plan is tied to both the user and the group. We then reorganize the subscriptions tab a wee bit (using jquery) to make it clear which plan is for which group and what upgrade options the user has. All of this is only possible because CBSubs supports multiple same plans per user.
Thank you for your fast and insightful responses Kyle - it really does make a software solution so much more appealing when there is such excellent support available from tirelessly committed people like yourself:-) I am sure I'll have more questions as this project progresses.
