Hi Drupaler,
I hope you are fine and well. i have been excited about drupal from day one.
i am trying to develope a website that allows users and post nodes,adverts e.t.c to my site. But i want the users to pay for their node posts before the node can be published. I have searched the net and drupal. there are two modules (Noade paypal,im paypal). Are there modules that can accomplish the same function of allowing users to pay before there nodes can be published, but allow other payment gateways apart from paypal?
I look forward to your prompt response, you, have a great day

UC Node Checkout
http://drupal.org/project/uc_node_checkout
This module extends the big Drupal e-commerce module UberCart for something like this.
I'm not sure of the relationship between purchase and publish, but it appears that this module: http://drupal.org/project/uc_node_published was written to provide the additional infrastructure to build out paid advertising as you describe.
Thanks
Thanks for the prompt response, i will test it out to see if it does what i want.
Thanks again.
Alternatively...
Though it's a bit more roundabout, you could also try http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_ubercart in conjunction with http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_node_action. It seems that uc_node_published may not be actively updated. Using Userpoints is some additional overhead, but will let you configure role-based rules to create levels of performing certain actions on nodes. Can also be used with the http://drupal.org/project/node_expire to unpublish content after a certain amount of time, requiring people to purchase more points so they can republish their content. It is even possible to do something like have users pay an additional amount to promote a node to the front page versus just publishing it.
Another food of thought.
Thank you very much, i didn't think user points could be used this way. i am going to have a test drive of these modules.
Thanks and have a great day.
Please report back your
Please report back your findings. What you're doing is interesting!

i will report back...but
i will definately report back on my findings and hopefully a recomendation on the modules or technics that made the job in question easy to accomplish. But at the moment i am still configuring my content managemnet,site configuration e.t.c. and it is taking a bit of time,i am encouraged that i am getting the support i need from the drupal community. i will report back a.s.p when i start to implement recomenadations made here
User Karma ??
Why not use http://drupal.org/project/user_karma it has some more features for you. Or you can use only the 'makes-a-node' to give them points.
The rules module works best
Hi
I used the rules module + ubercart node publish,
The trick I used is to use the amount of products added to the cart, as the total of months or days you would like to publish your ad (node) then using rules scheduler to schedule the unpublishing of the node, according to the rule set.
You will need
Rules
Date
Ubercart node checkout
Rules is amazing, but look at the screencast to setup node publish module to give you an idea where to use rules.
Drupal rocks.......*****
I am very impressed that the community is so helpfull, and i am humbled by all the suggestions i have received so far. the suggestions here are priceless. thanks again guys.
it sounds easy the way you used rules module and Ubercart node publish (node check out??). I know i am asking for too much but would it be okay with you to write a brief summery of how you accomplished your project using the two modules? No pressure take your time, but people who have the same problem especially Drupal Tots ( drupal newbies ) would appreciate it.
Have a Good Day VlooiVlerke

im also working with uc_node_checkout and i haven't done yet for the unpublishing part when using Rules module.
Can you point out some resources/links on how to come up to this solution? Also, is there a way that we can renew those unpublished nodes? for example, if this node(node/101) turns into unpublished state then the system fires an email to the user for renewal and prepares the node(node/101) for renewal checkout.

email to the user for renewal
I have the same problem of achilles085.
I need send email to the user for renewal and prepares the node for renewal checkout.
Best Regards.
Is there rules integration for ubercart?
I totally understand how this could happen. I however cant find a rules integration with Ubercart. Could you point me in the right direction of how you got rules to work with Ubercart? Thanks
thanks for the recomendation
thanks for the recomemndation, i will give karma a try. Have a nice day
