Anyone used Expression Engine for paid memberships that can expire?
I have never used expression engine, I’m assuming you can give privileges to users to edit create certain pages only. These members have to pay, and also eventually expire. Is that possible?

Yes, that is very well possible. Actually, their upgrade system works that way. As long as one pays the annual fee, he/she is able to download the latest build.

I think what WebWorker is asking atelier is if you can setup memberships on an EE-based site and have people pay to have an account that would then expire after a certain amount of time. The person to ask might be Joe Muscara. He seems to be the resident EE guy around here. I know from my experience I’ve setup temporary accounts, but never integrated any kind of payment for them.
Perhaps in 2.0 we’ll see a better implementation.

Thank you Dan, that’s what I thought Webworker ment. I poined to the account registration methode of EE because their site runs on EE. I asked a question on their forum. Answer is that 1) yes it is possible but 2) not ‘out of the box’. One has to implement a query that checks the set limit of time an account expires.
That code would look like this:
UPDATE exp_members SET group_id = "6" WHERE group_id = "5"
AND DATE_ADD(FROM_UNIXTIME(join_date), INTERVAL 1 MONTH) < NOW()

Unfortunately I do not -yet- have a clue how to add a cron job or give simular commands, but if time comes there, I want to find out…
cheers

Thanks for the info. I will check out the EE actions further.
BTW cron jobs are just links set so the hosting server processes files, for example a php script. You set them in your hosting control panel, if you provider allows for this.

I haven’t responded because I have not done that, and I thought atelier’s response(s) were good, that the EE site runs on EE so it can be done. From his second response, it does look like it’s an advanced problem to solve.

Thank you for the info, WebWorker.
It’s sure is interesting to know how Softpress reacts on this subject, since their site runs now on EE as well. I mean, hopefully I do not need to fill in anymore the registration number and my name and adress and mailadress when I want to download the occasional update of Freeway -after being logged in that is…
