Access content on the site after purchase?

Post by AlainR »

Hello.
Does Phoca Cart allow to sell content to which the buyer has access on the site after having paid? I'm not talking about downloading here but either:
  • an additional content that appears in the product, after purchase
  • a Joomla! article accessible only after purchasing a product Phoca Cart
  • or access to an additional part of an article, e.g. content included in tag Phoca conditional
  • or other
Sorry, I can't find out if this question has already been asked, nor can I find my messages by clicking on the link in my profile?!? Again after trying again 2 hours later always this message:

Code: Select all

Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. The server has high load. Please try again later.

Hi, you can see anything in Phoca Cart, but there is no option to manage content on the page. So this needs to be created by other extension or Joomla Core.

You can sell this feature by Phoca Cart but it then does not manage the content rights. So this needs to be somehow modified. E.g. users by a product in Phoca Cart, when paid, user's rights will be changed to see some content in Joomla core.

Thank you very much. Yes, it is a good solution to work with user rights.

If I understand the process and from what I see in PhocaCart: I have to create a group of customers and set it up in the product this customer group, which will be applied after the confirmed status of the order. Is that correct?

Hi, you even need to somehow (programmatically) change the user group of the customer to another after the order is processed.

Thank you for the information. I realized by looking even more in detail the groups of clients that they do not allow to change user group. Is this possible with Phoca Cart or do I have to program (develop?) it in another way?
