Hi Andy,

In your plugin Expire_Links, admin can set the function where listing will be turned into free listing or removed, when specified time passes. However I was wondering, on how to:

Set this for the user/s: so that

1. Paid users will be displayed specified message upon login. (I suppose this can work with basic if/elseif where if paid show particular message)
2. Will be displayed number of days remaining in their membership. Would be better if there would be a way to display number of days only if the remaining days were 60 for example. (this would also work with if/elseif, right?)

So can expire links type of function be setup for users too?

Thanks.

Hi,

Doing the days difference should be simple with GT::Date:

<%set today = GT::Date::date_get()%>
Days left: <%GT::Date::date_diff($today, $ExpiryDate)%>

(not sure if those 2 values should be the other way around)


When you say paid, are you refering to the GLinks payment system, or something else?

Cheers

This is what I have in mind:

1. Free Members and Paid Members.
2. Paid Members (group1, group2, group 3) : I can manually edit the profile for paid members, to set them as premium and select their group.
3. Now based on their group type, they will be able to add different number of listings:
... However, I am pretty sure, the users in this group, won't be submitting all (max number) listings at the same time.

So if expire_user setting is done for the username, then all links under that user will automatically update to free listings, regardless of when they were added, since membership is for user and not listing.

I have never really played with GLinks Payment system (also, if I am not mistaken, GLinks payment system works only for links and or categories, right?). I was considering setting up PayPal and Google Checkout, and manually edit the profile. However it user and admin reminder for expiring users, can be a huge time saver.

Hi,

I'm not really sure this plugin will do what you want. It is aimed at simply setting links to expire after xx days. For example, you set it to 30 days - and it then would expire the links after 30 days from the Add_Date.

If its not too much to ask, you think you would be able to update the existing plugin or setup something like expire_user thing? I would really appreciate it.

Thank You.
