Features / Usability


Onsite Store / Subscription Mods

I'd like for my site to, eventually, start paying for itself. But I would really, real prefer to stay away from adding advertising. So I'm looking around to see if there are any modules for things that could facilitate that. Examples would include:

  • A mod that let me put in an "online bookshelf" - a file gallery where the files are locked, but with a module that would let people hit a paypal button to unlock some / all of them.

  • A "subscriber" module or mod, where buying a subscription would automatically skip you into a preset usergroup for a period (one with more access rights, naturally).


...That kind of stuff.

Are there any options like that out there? Am I missing something obvious that's already in Tikiwiki?

(Oh - I'm on 1.9.9 presently, but not opposed to making the jump if 1.9.10 has features that would help here.)

Tiki doesn't have those features currently. The file galleries have been enhanced a lot for version 1.10, but nothing involving access via payment. I've seen some really preliminary talk of finding a way to do an online shop, integrating paypal or something, but am not aware of anything that can be used now.
