Thanks for your reply, Jay.
I see that I can restrict a user to add a new topic based on category and the user group or trust level. I want to show membership link(generated by Procourse) to the user who can not add topic or belong to a specific group. Please let me know if it is possible?
Thanks again
The easiest way would be to pin a topic with the instructions. If you donât like that then you could probably do it with a theme component, but thatâs not my wheelhouse.
This sounds interesting. If I am using paypal, is there any way to know how much revenue is coming from ProCourse as opposed to other sources which could be paying into my paypal account (donate buttons on other websites for example)? Is there a way to export all payments made through the plugin? If there is no functionality for this, is anything recorded to the database (which could be queried using sql)?
You have a logs page in the admin panel of the forum
I donât use paypal, but I guess in your paypal account, youâll have subscription pages related to the ones you created in your forum with more detailled stats
Hi Jay,
I have restricted a user from posting using categories security.
I am using stripe for subscription, when i tried it using test details it returns me 400 error. Please check the screenshot: http://prntscr.com/nqssg3
Thanks for your help.
Hi everyone. Can ProCourse plugin be used as a gateway without charging a fee? I know that I can restrict group access in group settings, but with the plugin, I can show and explain the purpose of the gateway, and step them through it. So, could the billing step be removed if the fee is set to zero dollars?
Can I set the fee to zero, and remove the billing step?
Wouldnât be easier to set up a group where they can request membership?
Without a fee, this plugin will not do anything more than that
Understood, but the registration flow would appear like the fee groups, which is nice for consistency.
Another question: could a $ fee be replaced with a requirement to post in a specific category? This way, users will need to create specific content before having group membership privelages.
You could have a category that was the only category that tl1 could post to and see that tl2 required creating a topic (I think).
Interesting. Iâll play around and report back. Itâs definitely food for thought.
After I installed the plugin and created one level for experiment. The link to that level doesnât open properly (only shows first few lines and keeps processing).
Iâve installed this plugin thru ProCourse Plugin Installer.
@pfaffman Iâm re-reading your reply, and Iâm just not getting how this would work. Iâd like to require a user to post to category 1 before they can view category 2. Would your suggestion help me accomplish this? If yes, how so? I apologize for not getting it.
I can perhaps help regarding categories and groups, but not beyond.
Can you pls elaborate your problem with example?
I was thinking that TL1 or 2 required creating a topic, but thatâs not the case. I think youâd need a plugin that would put people in a group when they had posted in a category. Iâm guessing itâd be in the $500-1000 range.
In category #1 I would like to post links to exam study materials. This category will be a group category, and users who want access to these topics will need to post a topic to a separate category (category #2). Once theyâve done that, they be added to the group and can see category #1 posts.
Ah!
Sorry. This is beyond me.
I understood your requirements only now.
Any chance of adding other currencies? We are on NZD.
Hey ProCourse Team,
Weâre about to integrate and I have a couple of questions. Based on reading through all the replies on this thread, Iâm guessing we will need the three plugins - membership, teasers, static.
Our community is ALL paid. Meaning if you donât join, you donât get to read the forums. We also ask users to fill out a form for us to collect data about them. Weâre a professional community so itâs questions such as âWhat is your job title?â
Can we integrate the form into a static page during the sign-up process? So the user flow would look something like this:
And lastly, is there some functionality to have sub-memberships or at the very least a tiered pricing? We currently have two kinds of memberships - individual and company. Companies get 3 users included in their membership and itâs not the individual membership rate x 3. I would love some thoughts on how best to manage this.
These plugins donât change anything regarding the account creation, it will work as usual
and
The category security will be respected. The content of the topics will be hidden but you can activate the teaser on the categories you want.
The title will be visible, the name of the category also, but if theyâre not a member of the private group, they wonât access anything
If you donât have the right accreditation, they will be redirected on the link you chose. Here is the setting on a category:
For the link, I redirected to a static page where I presented the different offers. I created a basic html table (itâs in french and not very responsive friendly, but it will show you what can be done with the static page)
To recap :
I donât think you can create a static page where you can add forms like these. The best way will be to create mandatory custom fields in the account creation using the options already available in Discourse with a validation by the staff, then redirect them to a membership or static page 
Not at the moment, you can create multiple memberships pages, with a monthly payment, an annual payment for the same group access, but not anything for multiple accounts.
You would need to hire the procourse team to create a addon
