I've read through the docs and various message threads here, but I don't quite have enough knowledge to currectly setup the following subscription scenario.
My vB system is 100% subscription based consisting of several industry-specific forums. Guests will see no forums listed. Once registered they will receive free 30-day trial access to all the forums with some restrictions (i.e. no downloads.) Once they pay for a subscription, they are promoted to a full 1-year subscription. If they don't pay for a full subscription after the 30-day trial, they are demoted to registered and cut-off from the forums.
Based on the above, I have made the following assumptions:
-3 user groups: registered (no forums), trial subscription (30-day) and full subscription (1 year)
-1 or more forums associated with both trial and full user groups
-2 subscriptions, trial subscription (30-day) and full subscription (1 year)
Setting everything up is reasonably straightforward, but what about the promotion and demotion? After the 30-day trial has expired, what's the best way to communicate this to the user?
Would someone be willing to give me a play-by-play on how to set this up?
Many thanks,
