paid membership module
pdelorme - January 15, 2008 - 08:38
Hi,
I'm looking for a module that would enable to charge an annual fee to obtain membership.
ideally the logic of that module should be :
- users can obtain membership agaisnt an annual or bi-annual fee.
- membership will then last for one or two years. after that period, member is returned to normal user.
- members have access to services others don't (thru Roles).
- the module should warn the member his membership is going expire soon by email.
- possibility to pay at registration time (user creation).
- possibility to pay using various payement methods (possibly using Ubercart payement module).
I've been searching on the web, but I was surptised not to find anything.
any suggestions?

You mention "possibly using
You mention "possibly using Ubercart payment module", as far as I know, Ubercart has this functionality already inbuilt. From "What is Ubercart" (http://www.ubercart.org/what_is_ubercart):
And as far as I know this is linked to granting the user a specific role.
you are right. Ubercart has
you are right.
Ubercart has a Roles module that enables one to buy a Role.
It manages expiry date.
I still havent succeded in using it, but sounds like a good way to try.
thanks for the hint.
I think you would need
I think you would need something more like these modules instead of a shopping cart:
Content Access (with this one you can restrict access to content type or nodes by role or author):
http://drupal.org/project/content_access
ACL (with this one you can restrict by user together with Content Access):
http://drupal.org/project/acl
Feemanager (well the name says it all):
http://drupal.org/project/feemanager
or
Membership types and registration modification (demands more knowledge in installation, but have more features than Feemanager):
http://drupal.org/project/nf_registration_mod
One other interesting approuch can be using Organic Groups (OG) which doesnt mean you have to allow your users to create groups with own templates, but you can instead use this and central management it but with a good control, it also supports Content Access.
Organic Groups:

OG User Roles (specify roles for users to limit them in different ways):

Paying for an OG role?
Hi,
Is there anyway that my users can pay for a role in an organic group?
The scenario is this
- User visits a group page
- User clicks on a button to apply for Ownership of group
- User pays for the role "Owner"
- Then user is granted "Owner" rights for that group only.
Any help would be wonderful.
regards,
Jamie
