新的变现功能提案

Hi All,

I have been thinking of a way of monetising the website and during the launching stage for us about 4 months old site it it a bit tricky.

There is different monetising ways :
1 - ads ( I don’t like it, it looks ugly, and is not worth the money unless you have crazy traffic )
2 - subscription like nomad list : Nomad List . It is tricky to do this in early stage because we want content

3 - our idea / solution ( Wallet type or credit kind )
is there a system / plugin that offers the opportunity to group2 level people to top up credits where 1 crédit would allow 1 post. Credits would go to stripe account.

So random customers can post but companies would have to buy credits.

Does this would make sense ? does it exist ? We would be happy to be beta testers.

Many thanks

I’ve implemented this as a Discourse plugin, and have been testing on my sites for a few weeks now.

There are one or two things I wanted to add (tests, documentation, full internationalisation) before announcing the new plugin on meta.discourse.org

However, if you’re willing to be beta testers, I’d be very grateful for your feedback.

My plugin is here: GitHub - chrisbeach/discourse-paid-pinning: Allows forum members to pay for pinned topics

On my forums (example: https://se23.life), I allow businesses to create one new topic free of charge. If they want to create subsequent topics, they can pay a fee using a Stripe online payment. As a bonus, their paid-for topics are pinned for four days. Here are some screenshots:

Links to “Advertise” page

Note that the text is customisable (js.discourse_paid_pinning.advertise_spiel)

“Advertise” page (signed-in user with transactions)

Payment Popup (Stripe Checkout)

Button on User Admin Page

Clicking this reveals the following:

The following transaction indicator is also visible to staff members, and clicking on it shows the transaction list:

Hi Chris,

what’s the status of this plugin? I’m considering using it to let users post commercial messages in a specific category - does the plugin support this?

The plugin has been used on my forums for a while now and taken a few payments successfully.

It’s also in use by @Jeremie_Leroy and he has encountered one or two issues which I haven’t yet managed to reproduce on my instances.

I’m only able to work on this project in my spare time and am currently very busy with other things.

I plan to write a proper test suite and would gladly accept pull requests and comments on the code.

The plugin does not support this, no. It sounds like a good feature to offer and I’d accept PRs at this stage.

hi @bartv,

It works well for people to post a pin topic for the price and time you will setup.

That’s great to hear! I’m a beginner in plugin development, but I’ll gladly comment on the code if that helps - any areas in particular?

I’m afraid I won’t be able to contribute a PR for a category restriction though - is this something you’d be willing to add as a sponsored project?

I’m afraid I cannot commit to sponsored work at the moment as I have a few other things on the go.

我想知道如何隐藏顶部主菜单中的“广告”链接,使其仅显示在下拉菜单中?

谢谢。

如果其他人也想贡献,我很乐意合并一个拉取请求。我现在无法自己处理插件。

如果有人想分叉该插件并成为新的维护者,我可以更新此论坛中的相关帖子以指向您的分叉。

大家好,挖出这个帖子

由于我们的论坛越来越受欢迎,置顶帖在广告商那里表现非常好,我们希望以类似的方式实现一些“付费置顶”功能。

我真的很想知道是否还有人使用此插件或创建了类似的插件。

在我们的案例中,我们不想使用 Stripe,而是希望为每个广告账户提供信用额度(手动输入),他们可以花费这些信用额度来置顶话题、创建横幅话题等。

Gamification 插件 也许能帮到你。

我也曾想过一些类似的点子,但还没开始实施。如果你有预算,请告诉我。

您指的是游戏化插件的哪些部分?是“用户积分/余额”功能吗?

我真不知道我当时是怎么想的。

图钉/横幅会永久存在还是需要过期,或者需要定期重新收费?它是否仅限于某些类别的商品?您有预算吗?

目前我们提供7天的“置顶主题”,但有时我们也会提供10天或整整一个月。

主题是全局置顶的。目前不提供按类别置顶的功能,但是

还没有。目前,我们是手动处理这些请求的,但随着需求的增长,我们希望建立一个客户可以自行置顶主题的系统。
