Anyone ever seen or thought about developing something that gives a person access to a specific area of Postnuke. Say a Section. We all know that it can be done within postnuke permissions. It would be nice to give a person access for a specific period of time then that access would expire on a certain date with an email sent out to the person. Basically I am trying to sell access to something on a yearly basis and then have the members access expire to that section after the year ends and notifying him so they know they have to renew their contract again. I don't want to use the permissions to baby sit each member and track how long they have been a member. Remember that this can't have anything to do with there access to the whole PN web site just the little area I want to set aside.
I have a need for such a thing. Any ideas?

Has anyone had any success with this module? I'm getting errors recorded by the module that I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. The payment goes through to PayPal just fine, so it looks like it's something with the data coming back...
Thanks, Tom -

It sounds like the Subscription module created by Invalid Response would work for your needs -- see here: http://www.invalidresponse.com/

Actually, no. The Invalid Response module still requires the person to create a PostNuke account first. I want it to be a seamless process -- you subscribe and the act of subscribing creates an account for you.
anyone? I can't get the Web Site Fee to work as I'm having issues with the custom field portion and there is no documentation.

Subscribing to a newsletter does only need to fill in an e-mail address. Your idea would be that the module generates a nickname? I doubt people want their account to be their email-address, due to the email-address being visible on posting/commenting/etc..
Though, by registration prior to subscribing, would also prevent a lot of abuse when people fill in email addresses of others, where you can be reported as a spammer, and get blacklisted.
When PN is setup to generate a password, and send it by mail, the mail address is verified during the login, and after that's done, people can subscribe, using the mail-address in their profile.
Your idea is nice, but it can be abused... I won't go for that kind of new account / subscribing system for that matter.. -

You would want something that would initiate registration on the successful paypal transaction - bascially if the transaction is approved the user account is created. The user would select a username / password during the checkout process and then the account would automatically be created on successful transaction. Downside - if a another user registers on the site with the same username during the time it takes for the transaction to got through... or echecks, etc could muck it up.

Yes, Lobos, that's exactly what I want. Is there anything like that out there? It doesn't have to use the email address at all for the username, Zar.

What I would do is store the username in a table called "tempUserName" and then once successful it would get deleted and moved into the users table. This way you have a record of all usernames that have been claimed that the registration script can check.
