Content Authors Plugin For Payments For Joomla, paid access to user groups in Joomla 2.5 Options

[Web Design Seo]

A "Content Authors" is content plugin for Payments for Joomla component. ("Payments for Joomla" is new name of "Mosets Tree Payments").

Content Authors plugin for Payments for Joomla component allows your users to subscribe to the Author usergroup for a limited time, gaining all the privileges, assigned to this group. The users, whose membership is about to expire, get a mail remainder twice before the expiration date: 3 days before it and 1 day before it. You may change these numbers in the plugin's settings.



In fact, this plugin may be used to sell subscriptions to whatever usergroup you decide - the usergroup's ID is just a plugin setting which is set initially to the ID of the Author usergroup.

1. In order to use the plugin you have to install it and set its settings (it is published automatically).
2. Then you have to define some payments in the Mosets Tree Payments component to be used with the plugin.
3. Then you have to create an article in which to describe what are the benefits of gaining access to the usergroup you sell subscriptions to (Author or other). In this article you have to insert the plugin tag {authors_payform} (yet another plugin setting), which will be replaced with the subscription form:

        <?php echo JText::_('COM_USERS_Edit_Profile'); ?></a>

        $params = new JRegistry(JPluginHelper::getPlugin('content','mtp_authors')->params);
        $seoparams = new JRegistry();
        $article = new stdClass();
        $article->text = $params->get('authors_payform', '{authors_payform}');
        JDispatcher::getInstance()->trigger('invokeMTP_Authors', array('com_users.profile', $article, $seoparams));
        echo $article->text, '<br style="clear:both" />';
    }
    ?>
