More diskspace for a fee? Membership?

Jens · September 15th, 2006, 06:33 PM

I would like to limit the regular diskspace for regular members, but allow paying members more or even unlimited diskspace - is there a method to accomplish this within the software? If not, is there some software I could purchase that would enable this?

Thanks

You can setup different usergroups with different diskspace limits but there is no subscription service to the gallery so payment would be up to you to collect and you could bump a user to a different usergroup

Thanks Chuck.

I seem to recall a discussion somewhere on this forum where users were advised they could install some other software, some forum I think, which integrated perfectly with PhotoPost, and which had subscription options that could somehow be used for this intent. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I cannot find this info now (goes to show I should bookmark things...)

Thanks
Jens

Thanks guys. Please allow me to follow up a little:

If I were to buy Vbulletin and run it in concuntion with Photopost, would I be able to greate a special usergoup in Photopost that would be recognized by Vbulletin?

In other words, in addition to using Vbulletin as a forum I would also like to use it's paying membership function to allow those who need much disk space in Photopost to aquire that disk space through paid membership - ideally by using the usergroup function of Photopost to define this particular "membership group" and its privileges.

Thanks again
Jens

Yes if your photopost was integrated with vbulletin. Right now though its a standalone so you would need to reinstall it to integrate with vb

Thanks for your quick reply, Chuck.

Would it be possible for me to purchase your services for re-installation of Photopost and also the installation of Vbulletin, making the two programs function and perform as discussed?

Regards
Jens

Yes we do forum installs as well just inquire about that on your comment for install of the gallery
