Hi all, Is it possible in Wordpress, to allow people to purchase a credit which can then be redeemed for being able to submit a page to the site? Is there a plugin that can do this/would it be possible to make one? Thanks for any help!
if you are asking... for a credit or coupon thing... i think that can be done... as there are many ecommerce plugins which will easily do it for you... just search ecommerce plugin hope it helps...
What I think I want is the ability to allow a user to pay to have the role of an Author for one post only
You need a custom plugin/custom script for that. Or you can set up a simple page where anyone can pay and you will activate the account manually.
You're welcome. I suggest you to let users to register and on register page put a paypal button.When you will recive the payment you will activate te account manually.
Could you not use the TDO Mini forms for custom uploads and (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/) and then as you can re-write the code of the form itself, change the submit button to a paypal one. Would take a bit of coding and texting but would work. If it was me, it depends how many you are going to get. If your only going to get a few a day, then you can do them manually, if your gonna get 1000 a day, then an automated solution is better. Maybe speak to the guys who wrote TDO to see if they would write you a module hack if you dont know what your doing. May be worth a bit of investment!
Wow good find thanks, am going to investigate that further. I think & hope that it will be quite a few submissions a day! Thanks
No problem mate, I use those TDO forms as a way of users uploading images, its a very nice plugin, so hope it works for you!
