Subscription for posting

Hi,
right now i am afraid the WPAdverts does not have subscriptions feature.

We are planning to release in near future a memberships/subscriptions extension which will integrate with the WooCommerce Subscriptions but right now i cannot really tell when it will be ready and how will it work exactly.

Okay, thanks for the reply.

Do you think it would be possible by using a membership plugin and restricting the adding/listing forms by membership level? Just trying to think outside the box.

Hi,
yes it should be possible if the Membership plugin will allow you to make the page with [adverts_add] shortcode visible only to users with a valid membership.

If the membership plugin will allow you to add some capabilities to users while they have the membership active (for example a custom capability named “active-memb”), then you can block access to the [adverts_add] by using it as

[adverts_add requires="active-memb"]

Also, by installing a Pricing Per Capability snippet https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/pricing-per-capability/pricing-per-capability.php you could make some pricings visible only to users with a selected membership.

For example if you have silver and gold memberships then the silver membership could make a Listing Type visible for 30 days available in [adverts_add] and the gold membership could make a featured Listing Type visible for 45 days available.

Hey Greg,

I just wanted to follow up and let you know I figured out a way to make this work. Essentially if you use Woocommerce Subscriptions & Subscribe All the Things (free extension for Woocommerce Subscriptions, available on github) you can modify a file in the Subscribe All the Things to recognize advert_single as a product.

For Subscribe all the things, you need to modify woocommerce-subscribe-all-the-things.php on line 308:

return apply_filters( 'wcsatt_supported_product_types', array( 'simple', 'variable', 'variation', 'mix-and-match', 'bundle', 'composite' ) );

Change to:

return apply_filters( 'wcsatt_supported_product_types', array( 'simple', 'variable', 'variation', 'mix-and-match', 'bundle', 'composite', 'advert_single' ) );

Hi,
thanks for the feedback i think this will be very helpful when working on the WPAdverts subscriptions and memberships :).

One note, you do not need to modify the original source code you can use the wcsatt_supported_product_types filter to add ‘advert_single’ to the list, like this

add_filter( "wcsatt_supported_product_types", function( $args ) {
  $args[] = 'advert_single';
  return $args;
} );

Yeah, of course.

It should also be mentioned the Subscribe All the Things plugin I was using is no longer actively developed. They have switched over to being sold by Woocommerce and called All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions. I haven’t set it up to use the new plugin yet, I just wanted to confirm if it would work before purchasing it.

Although I doubt it will make a difference, I’ll let you know if I run into any problems.
