User needs to register to view categories and detailed pages.
Hey guys,

Quick question. How would I go about making it nessecary for a user to have to be registered to view categories and view detailed pages etc? I want users to have to pay $10 a month to stay register on the site and view any categories and detailed pages.

Any advice would be appreciated. Searched the forums and couldn't find anything.

Thanks guys!
Cheers,
Michael Bray

Hi,

This should do what you want - but it will require you to have some kinda payment system in place, which sets their status as "Not Validated" (otherwise, any registered user, paid or not, will still be able to access the pages =))

Cool. Cheap buy at $50. I thought Links SQL had an option that the admin had to approve new members. Looking through it, it looks like it doesn't. Would it be hard to add it in so that in the admin where it says validate links and validate reviews, it also says validate users?

Hi,

To have a "Validate Users" area (to send out emails etc), you would probably need a custom script.

I'm afraid I'm already too bogged down with work ATM to even think about looking at taking on any more work though :(

Cool. I'm just going to make a custom sign up form which accepts payments through paypal, and get the person running the website to enter the users details manually into the admin area. I'll just disable the default sign up form.
