Need some ideas... can this be done?

Hey, everyone!

I'm trying to figure out how to manage this:

* a user pays to create (or publish) a node.
* The node is on a subscription. If the subscription is renewed, the node remains published. Otherwise, the node is unpublished.

Any ideas?

It can be done

moderate. I've used it off

moderate. I've used it off and on for several years. I'm comfortable with php, I just don't want to re-invent the wheel (or fork a module, for that matter) if I can help it.

How about Pay2Publish

How about Pay2Publish module?

Seems to be just a variation

Seems to be just a variation of the classifieds workflow--- you might want to check out http://drupal.org/project/ed_classified. Also maybe http://drupal.org/project/paypalnode and as gh0st25 mentioned http://drupal.org/project/pay2publish

Thanks to everyone that

Thanks to everyone that responded to my question. I've been trying different solutions, and finally decided to go with lm_paypal, which, consequently, was the key component to ed_classified. ed_classified would not work, because I needed different costs for different custom content types, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with lm_paypal to do what I needed it to do.

PayPal Node didn't seem to offer a recurring charge type of payment.

Pay2Publish was to publish *parts* of a node, based on what level the user pays for. Again, no recurring payments, though.
