Family Plan (Restrict by address)

Family Plan (Restrict by address) was created by AlexRag
I've been testing out the Family Plan feature and it's been great so far.

My questions come from this use case scenario. I have a site that sells household memberships for a neighbourhood association. The yearly renewable fee is sold on a per household basis (usually with 2 per plan).

Sign up is also restricted to certain addresses to do this I have set up 3 field items:
1. Street number
2. Street name (this is a drop down so only certain streets are available to choose from
3. Postal code (also a dropdown with limited options)

Ideally the address in one field item would be better but I have not figured out a way to input 380 addresses for users to select from.

So here is the question:
Is it somehow possible to restrict the registration of the second user that the primary shared the plan with be from the same address of the primary user? The thinking here is to only allow the primary to be able to share the plan with someone else as long as they are in the same household. This would avoid 2 people from 2 addresses sharing the plan.

This would essentially means the address the 2nd user inputs when registering has to checked that it matches the primary before allowing the sign up.

I know there's tonnes of automation options available with CB so if there's any membership extension out there that can do this, it would be CB

No, there are no conditions applied to the shared subscription and no triggers available to apply any such conditions. It would make it a frustrating and complicated process to share with an email address and then it fail due to conditions especially if the user goes through registration to accept the subscription and can't due to conditions. There's no plans to support such a feature at this time. Will review adding triggers to CBSubs Family Plans though so you can code in your own conditions for accepting a shared subscription.

I figured it would be a little complex. Looking forwards to seeing what you had in mind for adding some triggers.

The following triggers should be available in latest CBSubs. Note they won't be in CB Auto Actions dropdown so just type them manually.

$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'familyplans_onCanAcceptSharedSub', array( &$this, $userId, $subscription ) )
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'familyplans_onBeforeAcceptSharedSub', array( &$this, $user, $subscription ) )
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'familyplans_onAfterAcceptSharedSub', array( $this, $user, $subscription ) )
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'familyplans_onAfterDeleteSharedSub', array( $this, $user, $subscription ) )

You should ideally be doing your additional validation on familyplans_onBeforeAcceptSharedSub since you need to validate against user data and it contains the full user object. Simply use a Code action and using the Output of the auto action return false to fail the validation and prevent accepting the subscription.

Thanks Kyle.

This may be beyond my scope of knowledge but will see what I can figure out. Up to now, I've also used probably a fraction of the power of the Auto Actions plugin. Nothing too complex, even though it can handle it.

--- Update ---

I have been doing more testing out of the user experience with a user sharing a plan with another user.

I discovered something interesting. Even though the primary user sent the email to a specific email address, the shared user can actually register an account with another email address.

I'm not sure this is entirely a bad thing, other than wanting to make sure the shared recipient is meant to have access gets the email, but I suppose this is allowable for the same reason as above.

Correct, that's working as intended.
