Downloaded the 30-day trial of the latest version of WSNKB to test it out and prepare for a complete site overhaul from the 5.## version and below is the first of many questions to come.
What I want to do - For a fee of $9.95 a year OR the submission of at least 10 articles in the past 3 months and the member is promoted to the usergroup of 'Sponsor' and as a benefit of sponsorship they can take advantage of the 'Notify of articles matching keywords' option in their profile as well as use the 'Save to List' feature.
I found under the 'Usergroup Sponsorship Level' the 'Type Promotion' but not an option to set it to 'Notify of articles matching keywords'. And under the 'Promote Members' under Member Settings I see the promote members to sponsor but it is based on comments and registration date instead of articles and recent time period.
So, can the sponsorship option be used in the way that I want, if so, how do I set it up?
Set up the member usergroup sponsorship level (promote to the group 'Sponsor'), and set it to charge $9.95 for a year. Then change your 'edit profile' template to put <IF {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is x> ... </IF> around the 'Notify of articles matching keywords' option, replacing x with the usergroup number of 'Sponsor' (for example, it might be 6 -- you can find the number on the manage usergroups page). Put the same conditional around the 'save to list' in the article bit and article details templates. You might also want to put a message in the saved articles template to non-sponsors to tell them they need to sponsor to use that page, you can use <IF {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is not x> ... </IF> for that (again replacing x with the number).
Then the trickier part of this will be the 10 articles in 3 months promotion. As you've noted, the promote members option doesn't offer the criteria you need -- and also, it wouldn't work for you anyway since funds need to be allocated to the account to keep it from being marked as due and unpaid and demoted. So this part is going to require some PHP coding. I can do it for $30 if you like.
