No, because all you do is give a name and a description to the forum in Clubs:

I would have to add the tab that appears in ACP.

Done.

Only ADMINS will be able to charge to access a forum:

As a regular user that has to pay to access:

Hi @Adriano Faria I can see a prompt for paid access in a Club but I can't seem to find it in any forums I am creating in the main site. What might I be missing? Thanks!

[Adriano Faria]

You probably selected your group in Exempt groups:

Unselect your group then you will see the message to pay.

If that’s not the case, send a PM explaining clearly what’s happening, with ACP access. I’ll take a look tomorrow in the morning.

Hi @Adriano Faria thank you for your response! The image you posted is something I have never seen in my set up. I don't have that same tab anywhere. I'll PM you. Thanks!

[Adriano Faria]

Ok, replying to your PM. It's in the README (yellow are) and shows in the screenshots:

Go to ACP -> Forums -> TRANSCRIPTS -> Fearless Living 2019 -> edit Fearless Living JANUARY 2019 then you will see:

Enable then you'll get the options:

Add the cost; choose the Exempt groups, if you wish, and hit save.

You're done. People that's not part of the Exempt group will see the notice and will have to pay to read its topics.

I did everything listed in this post and the "pay to unlock forums" tab was not there. I've done nothing different since posting this request for support but NOW that tab is there! I don't know what you did to fix it, but thank you!! Can you tell me what was missing? On my end, nothing has changed except suddenly the tab is now there. Thank you for that!

[Adriano Faria]

I did nothing. I simply gone to the forum. You can see the logs, if you wish. 🙂

Wow, so I guess it was a delayed activation? Or maybe you are magical. I'm very sorry to have bothered you, by the way. I swear it was not there before.

I do have a new question:

I know I can exempt groups from payment to a forum, but is there a way to add an individual exemption. For example, I want to make the transcript free to anyone who attended the live chat session. Is there a way to invite them to a forum or add them as an individual to a forum so they don't have to pay?

No problem at all. That's why support is for. 🙂

Nope, currently only groups can be excluded from paying to read topics. I'll think in something like that in a new version.

Check cos depending the extend will depend if you can generate a purchase for it, and if so they can just generate purchases for each person marking as paid, might be easier then writing lots more stuff

Nah! I'm thinking in add a member field in the form or elsewhere so the admin enters the members that can access it. That's the purpose of the resource. I won't change it or make it so specific for one person only.

I mean, it might already allow generating so you won't need to do nothing then

Kinda lost here. Is Vegan Gaymer using any of your resources to integrate with this?

[TheJackal84]

No, I was just bored and reading posts and see his one, and thought that it might be able to be generated via the invoices, I am sure you said you changed the extend so they show on my purchases pages etc, if you did then you should be able to generate them via the ACP

[Adriano Faria]

Compatible with IPS 4.4.

PRE-SALE is there a way to make it expire OR the member retains access forever?

No expiration. Once paid, access is permanent. 

[Daniel Ocio]

Should be a great feature to enable pay to post in a forum or pay to reply on a forum, not only access. If yoou waant to do for me, please PM

Hello, is this requirement for the method that would be configured in the commerce module?

Do you have images of the payment process to see how the integration with the application is?

NOTE: I do not have the commerce module, so I do not know how the integration is and I want to know how is the process of your applications with the module, I am interested in several of this style and that are related to monetize "https: // invisioncommunity.com/features/commerce/ "

Hello,

It will show the default checkout Commerce page with the payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, etc.) you set in your ACP. It’s exactly the same page when you purchase a file here on IPS Marketplace.

Thank you very much for your answer.
