PostNuke

The main problem is that there is quite a bit of predefined HTML in various parts of PostNuke, and therefore difficult / impossible to make a WAI complant site...

Introduction to PayPal Subscriptions

How PayPal Subscriptions can help you offer subscription-based content

PayPal Subscriptions is a tool that will let you accept recurring payments for your service.

When you set up a Subscription, you can offer your subscribers a trial period, special introductory rates, and a regular rate.

Your subscribers will be billed automatically according to the terms you dictate, removing the
hassle of keeping track of what payments you have and have not received.

And it’s easy to set up. To get started, you just have to fill out a one-page form.

HTML code and an unique Subscription URL are automatically generated for you to paste on your website or send out via email.

If you’re comfortable dealing with some back-end code, PayPal also provides Instant Payment Notifications (server-to-server communications
that give you instant notification of all subscription activities), the ability to pre-populate your customer’s PayPal sign-up pages, and even some help with your subscription’s Password Management.

When you use PayPal Subscriptions, we’ll take care of the back-end payment operations, meaning you can focus on the content and quality of your subscription service.

I found out about this from a friend that I have done business with in the past that just wrote a cgi subscription manager script that uses paypal. He told me that it could be done in php but he doesn't have the time.

To get ideas for a postnuke subscriptions module go to his site and look at his full demo.

I am hoping some of you fantastic programmers will jump up and set up a module that will allow the postnuke community to set up subscription based websites.

Keep us posted if you plan to create this module so we can follow the status.

I hope this was of interest to the community.

Footnote: 1

I need it to be able to display banner ads on front page this way;

Welcome message
Bannerad 1
Article 1
Article 2
Bannerad 2
Article 3
Article 4
Bannerad 3

etc.

I also need the module to show either one or two bannerads, above or underneath the article, or both, when the user are clicking the "Read more..." link.

I need it to be fully configurable from admin panel, how many articles between every bannerad, decide to use the feature or not, and every other thinkable setting must be possible to do from admin panel.

My terms are as follows.
I will pay for the developement after an agreement, hopefully with the core PostNuke Developers(As I want it hopefully to be a core part of the PostNuke functionality for the future)
If the module can not be made as a core PostNuke feature, I will demand that the module is made in the terms of GPL, it shall be free to download and use for EVERYONE, and the same goes for any upgrade of the module in the future.

I need this functionality ASAP, and thats why I have decided to pay for the developement. But this only due to a conversation about the developement, and a personal agreement in front of starting the developement prosess.

Please leave me a note in private message, if this is of any interess for the developer community.
