Re: Implementing Member Subscription Solution

[Rob M]

Hello. This is actually a fairly simple problem to solve. I'm doing something similar for  a client. In my case, I've taken signable event and am making it payable on creation thus:     #     security.declarePrivate(permissions.EDIT_SIGNUP_PERMISSION,"makePayableOnCreation")     def makePayableOnCreation(self,obj,tot):        #self.total = tot        mark(obj, interfaces.IBuyableMarker)        coreInterfaces.IBuyableContent(obj).setProperty('price', tot)        coreInterfaces.IBuyableContent(obj).setProperty('product_code',        obj.ID)     # I seem to remember getting the bare bones idea from the link pasted below by darryl as well. Usable for member creation? I had to do this as the event  module  has  multiple payment  selections and  so we needed to be able to add the signable event signup object to the cart immediately after creation in an anonymous context. One problem I do have with this approach though is that that the 'Payable' tab is visible to anonymous users because of the use of run_as_manager from within signable event. Sadly, the project I was working on seems to be stalled at the moment so I'm not sure if I'll be going any further with this, but the eventual plan was to adopt a similar approach to member signups. Hope that helps some..

Since remember is makes members workflow-able, perhaps you can leverage the payment-to-trigger-workflow-change process outlined here: http://plone.org/products/getpaid/documentation/how-to/how-to-tie-actions-to-payments (thought this used to be in Products.PloneGetPaid but can't seem to find it now...) Basic idea would be: - let user create member object, in a pending state (and make it automatically buyable) - give user a link in the pending member object to submit the object for payment - upon successful payment, change workflow state on member object to make it "real" member Hope that is helpful. Please keep us posted on how it goes!! -c On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 3:45 PM, Tim Knapp <duf...@kokorice.org> wrote: Hi guys, I'm currently (again) working on implementing a Remember-based solution for subscribing members to a Plone site. I have got this working as a proof-of-concept in a Plone 2.5 site but the subscription process is a little clumsy. IOW the user registers then goes to their user object in 'portal_memberdata' and then clicks on the 'Add to cart' button, then the 'Checkout' button and is then redirected offsite to the payment processors website (in this case PayPal) where they pay and are redirected back as a 'paid up' user. What I'd like to implement instead is the following:     1. Visitor to website clicks on the 'register' link.     2. Visitor is presented with a registration form where they fill in        their details and select what 'membership level' they require        (i.e. Individual, Student, Corporate, etc) and whether they        wanna subscribe for multiple years.     3. Visitor is then redirected to PayPal site where they pay.     4. They're then redirected back to the Plone site as a 'paid up'        user with access to the various sections of the site that their        membership level allows. How could I do this in PloneGetPaid? I'm assuming I'd need to use some kind of event subscriber, which grabs the user data and redirects them offsite (I want to use PayPal)? Any tips appreciated.
