Is there a way to have users who donate added to a group for a set period of time and then put back to another group?

Post by TheJay »

Hello, I'm looking to place adverts on the forum that display for guests and standard members but give members the option to donate via paypal to be placed in a special group where adverts would be disabled.

I need a solution or several extensions that will allow this and then automatically set them back to the original group after a given amount of time unless they donate again.

Has anyone else managed this?

Aren't they more likely to save their money and just install a free adblocker?

Sure, there is that option but if someone wants to support the forum (and I have seen this before), I'd like to know how to implement it. Being moved to a different user group automatically is a nice way to acknowledge their donation.
