Memberships and Tickets

Hi Folks,

We've been asked by one of our client to produce a site that enables users to buy membership to a music club and concert tickets. Once purchased this will allow them priority for new concert tickets and a discount. Members of the public will also be able to buy tickets too. I'm thinking the Business version will do this. Here's what I need it to do:

1. When a user has purchased a membership, they can login to buy tickets not available to the public.
2. When a user has purchased a membership, they can login and all tickets automatically show a discount (or show the membership price at all time).
3. The user's email address is what determines their discount or access level to the products.

Thanks

Darren

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand you point 3. Why the address email and not the user account's level ?

In your case, here is what I would do:
create a specific user group for your members. You can do that in joomla 1.6 or 1.7 directly. On 1.5 you need to use DJF ACL.
create a "membership" product and set that group in the option "User group after purchase".
For your tickets, either restrict the access level to that product, or the prices.

That will do what you want. However, I see I problem with that:
There is no subscription system in HikaShop. Which means that once 1 year passes, nothing will happen as there is no system to put back the user in the non members group. For the reminder, you could use our integration with acyMailing in order to send a reminder using auto filters in their Enterprise edition. So you would have to build a plugin change the user group when the subscription runs off, if you need that.

Do you know if a plugin to change the user group when the subscription runs off already exist?

Yes. We actually released last week an integration with Akeeba Subscriptions which allows you to do that :

Ok Quick question i have set this up for testing...

I have a the following memberships
US member $19.99
UK Member £14.99
AU Member $19.99

The price is set in Hikashop BUT Akeeba Subscriptions also requires a price which one rules, i want yours to be the domanant price cause i can set the currancy and the price where in akeeba backup i can only set the price, i want to control both currancy and price...

www.twh.com.au/test/shop

Ok the issue i am having is i cannot get it to charge the sale at the countries currancy...

I have set out defualt currancy to, AUD and it clearly displays the other counties prices but when you're sent to paypal it sets the price to, for instance 14.99 AUD instead of 14.99 GBP there is a little difference in the price value there LOL

Is there a way around this?

Nudge
Any ideas on this, the idea is you can set the price in any currency but when you goto pay its in a default currency?

The price used in HikaShop is the price you set in HikaShop.

You should create only one membership product and set all the different prices in that product.
If you set one price in one currency, which is not the current currency, the system will automatically convert the price to the current currency.
You should publish the hikashop currency switcher module, so that you can easily see how it renders in the different currencies.

Thanks for getting back to me, this is what i wanted if you goto www.twh.com.au/test you can see i have it working now without an issue...

My next question to further this topic is in regards to your geolocation plugin...
'HikaShop geolocation plugin' how do i configure this? or does it automatically detect there country of origin and display that currency?

i cannot find much documentation on this.

Another question have you looked at creating a simular plugin as Akeeba Subscriptions for RS Memberhips?

You can configure the geolocation plugin via the plugins manager of Joomla. You can follow our documentation on that:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...hop-geolocation.html
Once configured, you can set the currency you want for your countries via the menu System->Zones.

Then, based on the IP of the user, it will set the current currency automatically when the user reaches your website (note that this is stored in the session so if you want to test it, you will have to reset your user session and make sure that you're logged out).

We didn't look at RS memberships. No one requested such plugin so far.

No worries i will look through the documentation now, but i have several clients on RS assplications they love them cause the support and features are so strong...

As a rule i install RS Firewall on all my sites and it has saved my bacon a few times.

It would be nice, i have just posted a support request with them asking for their API and if they have anything simular in the pipeline.

Thanks for you quick response...

Do you have any presentation data that can be user for a joomla support group? i manage the Newcastle Joomla User group, and i want showcase your product this year to the group... I was talking to akeeba last night and he mentioned if he come out to australia later this year he ants to catch up and maybe come to the group.

The integration with akeeba subscriptions has been done totally with a hikashop plugin which is available for free. So any developer could make a similar plugin between HikaShop and RS memberships. It's roughly 100 lines of code.

So far I only did conferences in French so I don't have such presentation material in English. However, I sometimes directly use the demo website which shows already lots of things and that makes it for a more lively presentation where you can directly show things to people if they have questions on some of the features. So you might want to go that road. We can provide a dump (mysql export+files) of the demo website if necessary.

Nicolas, since i have posted this we have shifted our business over to using Akeeba, backup and tools on all our clients sites and we are looking at setting up an automated process for this so that clients will have backups of their site without any issues.

I am still interested in doing something, one thing we really need to sort is some form of membership procedure.

So what is your question(s) on that ?
You have issues configuring our integration plugin with Akeeba Subscriptions ?
