@ChrisBeach looking to fork discourse-paid-pinning or discourse-donations to start a membership plugin around a similar paradigm / borrow your check out & and rewards controller. Should we borrow a combo of the two, since discourse-donations is closer to what we’re building but discourse-paid-pinning is newer, tests are passing, and perhaps some things improved?
Has one else out there has done a membership plugin along your lines, where?:
Users can get to a basic site, whereupon they can then
Access important groups / categories is behind a paywall.
We’re currently using Memberful, but don’t like their SSO approach that disables site invites, hides membership status from within Discourse, and is expensive. We’d like to take and extend what discourse-donations does to:
Have the rewards access expire after a period
Message users to renew, then
Remove user from the reward group after membership expires.
Please do fork the paid pinning plugin if possible as it’s more up to date. Its tests are passing… because it barely has any However, I’ve been using it successfully on my sites for a while now.
Bear in mind the following note, which I received from Stripe and have not yet actioned:
Our org is all in the San Francisco Bay Area, so no EU / Brexit issues here .
We’ll start with paid-pinning and pull over the rewards logic, which fits our membership application fairly closely. Went looking in AdvertiseController for similar to rewards, but got confused with requires_plugin 'discourse-plugin-stripe'. Is that code outside paid-pinning? Where does discourse-plugin-stripe live?
However, I’ve been using it successfully on my sites for a while now.
