Hi! I have a use case, and I was wondering if the Joomlapolis mods/admins/developers, or other users here in the forum, could help provide feedback for the direction I should take to hopefully enable this specific use case:

I have a local news website that sells "Sponsorships" at four different tiers, using CBSubs. The higher the tier, the more available features, including more frequent access to post to a "Sponsors News" area. I was planning to set this up via a Sponsors-only GroupJive Group, then use a CBActivity stream module to display the wall posts from this Sponsors group to all users. From what I understand, this is all supported with the latest CB software.

However, I would like different tiers of Sponsors (CBSubs subscribers) to have their Sponsors News updates metered by tier: able to post/publish 1x/month, week, day, etc. This is what I don't know how to enable, or whether it's possible as-is within CB software.

I'm open to any direction as to how to approach metering CBActivity stream posts, or even using a different method within/leveraging Joomla. Likewise, some manual production is fine, however, automation is ideal.

I love how CBActivity will make it easy for my sponsors to "publish" ala how they're already doing it on social media. If I can get timed access to this feature set up by tier, it would be awesome!

I welcome any feedback and questions as to how I might approach this. I appreciate your consideration and feedback. Cheers!

Thanks much for your feedback, information and for considering these needs within your software development strategy. I agree that I don't want to get too bogged down with something too complicated ... I'll be able to find a middle ground by adjusting how we offer our promotions.

Can CBActivity streams be set to require moderation? This might be a solution for me, as I could handle the production and tracking overhead manually for metered access, since we're of a small size. (E.g. I watch for new Activity posts to approve, and do so if the Sponsor hasn't hit their quota.)
