Hi,

We are planning to set-up a site with several different membership level:

Example: Member group, number of posts allowed to publish - Level 1, 10 Posts limit - Level 2, 50 Posts limit - Level 3, 100 Posts limit

How can we achieve that in ExpressionEngine?

Thanks in advance!

This functionality isn’t native. If you can’t find a suitable add-on on Devot-ee.com then it will take a custom add-on.

Hi Boyink,

Thanks for the tipp. Will have a look at Devot-ee then.

Someone also suggested that this may be possible with some custom logic on the template. I will play around for a bit and post my findings here later on.

Cheers

At the template it would be a display limit, rather than a post/save limit. If that’s acceptable then yes, template logic might work.

I’m now using the following logic in my templates. I will extend it further to add more user groups. Do feel free to suggest a better solution.

On template with channel form:

{if total_entries >= 10 AND group_id == 6}
   {redirect="upgrade"}
{/if}
