Chaslie, I have a feature set up on a site I built for a government agency. Its more of a directory site but its built using 68 3.1dev.

A requirement from them was that everyone who registers gets a free ad so I made a customisation and a simple include function that counts the number of ads a registered user has. If they have non then the option of placing a free ad is available, if the total is more than one then the option is unavailable. I created a package in admin for free ads and slightly edited step 2 of the user checkout so that this package only appears if the visitor has no other ads on the site.

What Barry could do is pretty much the same thing yet kinda in reverse.

I would create a membership, your client can even include one or two free adverts within this membership. If a user has no membership then the only option is the registration package. Once the membership is purchased then that option is replaced with normal advert packages.


I say what I like and I like what I bloody well say
