    Hi,

    I'm thinking about starting a membership site where some features will be free and some paid. Something like this:

    Free members can:

    Read forums - but not post
    View pictures - but not upload
    Not read articles
    View video thumbnails but don't actually watch the videos

    Are there any solutions for setting such "detailed" permissions? I've played around with Joomla + some extensions but the only thing I seem to be able to do there is choose whether or not free members can access a feature, not allow them to use PARTS of a feature.

    Any idea on how I can set this up?

    Thanks,
    Jakob

    it would probably be pretty easy to just add some custom code. (Only if you know php). You would also need to add a new column in MYSQL for the Free/Paid type.

    Ie:

    
if($member_status=='Free'){
/* Stuff that a free member can
do */
}else if ($member_status=='Paid'){
/* The stuff that a free member
and a paid member can do */
}
    Code (markup):
