Thread: What happens when payment period ends ?

Just for my right understanding ........... what happens when a paid membership period ends ? Lets say i have got a paying member in my "platinum" membership level, his period ends in a few days and he does not upgrade or extend his membership. Will his profile be rejected or changed to "standard" ???

Ahh, thanks Lodlock ! I have not tried it until now.

But that brings me to another question, how can i make the "standard" membership invisible for other members or non-members. I need the "standard" membership as a kind of basic membership where its profiles will not be displayed online on the website.

I took the whole weekend to figure out if it could be possible to make the "standard" membership invisible .......... but it looks like it is not as easey as i hoped ?!
Please guys, say i'm wrong ?!

Just an idea but perhaps it could solve my problem ?!

- Create a new status like "active" called "waiting" which does .... nothing!
- Create a function which sets the profile to "waiting" automatically when the membership changes to "standard"
- Create a function which sets the profile to "active" or "approval" every time the membeship changes to "silver" or "gold"

If the promotional membership is on or off i have to set the profile manually after joining to "active" or "waiting".

Any ideas ? Remember ..... i'm a beginner

Thanks lodlock !!!

"Time" is no problem for me ! This mod is very important for me, so i will spend any time it needs ! My only problem is the missing knowledge about php so i need a little bit of help ....... and i have many questions ....

I tried this in many different ways for the PageCompFeatured() function but it does not work:

PHP Code:

$memlev = getMemberMembershipInfo( $memberID );        
    if ( $memlev['ID'] != MEMBERSHIP_ID_STANDARD )
{

} 


or

PHP Code:

$memlev = getMemberMembershipInfo( $memberID );        
    if ( $memlev['Name'] != 'Standard' )
{

} 


Could you please give me an example of how to use it with this or another funtion ?
Thanks

I'm going crazy with this !!! I tried this function hours and hours with the featured block on index page, but no chance !!!

Has anybody a little idea ?

Ok .... i try to use another way ! I disabled the possibility to look at "standard" profiles using the GetMemberMembershipInfo function. In case of a standard profile the user is automitically linked to another site with a error message or something else.
This part works great !

The only thing i have to do now is to set "standard" profiles to "suspended" with a cron job. For something similar i started another thread which perhaps could work fine for it:
Automatically suspend old profiles ?

Any ideas or comments ?
