Anyone here know how to write a cheap and easy method to do a paid membership forum and get the forum in a password protected area after one pays for membership so that they then and only then can logon to it? They will also need to always get back to it. Any way to do this even if they had to logon the members area then logon to forum again or is there an easier way? TY
Easiest way to do would be to create a new field in the MEMBERS table that would hold a boolean value to indicate whether they have paid or not. Then you would use PayPal's (or whoever's) API to update that value upon payment. Finally, you would need to modify the chkuser function in inc_func_common.asp to check whether a normal user had paid or not.
