Subscriptions

[jdougher]

Chuck, what is the preferred/best way to create a subscription system for users to buy additional space in one's PhotoPost gallery that is integrated with vBulletin: with the PhotoPost subscription system or through the subscription feature of vBulletin?

Also, for those of you who have done this, how do you go about it? Do you allow folks to have a certain amount of space and then ask them to pay for more? If so, how much is a good amount to set as available without a subscription?

Thanks.

well vbulletin offers more payment options I beleive and may be more visible if users look at there vb profile more our link is in our profile. Otherwise they pretty much work the same you come up with a charge and description. A user reads and purchases. Once they purchase they are thrown into a special usergroup you create to house the subscribers. You can in your forum and gallery categories and usergroup permissions set permissions accordingly to give your subscribers more access perms than regular users as you wish.

That in theory is how things work. Length cost features are all up to you.
