hi Scott,

As I have mentioned before, it would be great to see subscription tools as a complete package including the registration process.

Here is a question:

if you have a subscription site that:

• Allows visitors to view News Articles module summaries
• Allows users to view pages where the top module is text/html that describes the page and is visible to all. Below that is a module, example ActiveForums, that is only visible to Silver, Gold, and Platinum subscribers
• Registration is available to complete the subscription process although registered users really don't have any more rights than unauthenticated users

To give insight to a user that registers but has not yet subscribed, I tried using the Subscription content module. The idea was to, as example of the ActiveForums module and Discussions Forum page:

• Retain the top descriptive paragraph
• Instead of just seeing this paragraph and nothing else (example: Secured Discussionn Forum), I want registered users to see informative content that describes, even though they have registered, membership has its advantages. etc. Otherwise, they will go to these pages with the idea that the site has no real content.

The problem is that Gold, Silver, and Platinum members are also registered users so everybody sees this content.

Gold, silver, and Platinum members should not have to see a membership has advantages section below the Discussion Forum. I hope I am making this clear.

I do not yet know what the consequences are of removing a subscribed user in a membership role from the registered users role. Nor, do I want to do that.

Is there any work around for this?

Of course, after you right a lenghtly question the answer comes to you.

1. Leave registered users content blank
2. Add content to the generic message
3. Add special content to the Silver, Gold, and Platinum roles or a simple no break space

But, I do have some additional question:

• What happens if you have a subscription role that users have subscribed to and you decide to remove that subscription role at some point in time?
• What happens if you bypass the Subscription tool and add a user as a Gold member directly through DNN? Does that user get a reminder to subscribe? Or, are they just permanently part of that role until your remove them?
• Do you have plans to add a free test account to Subscription Tools in the future?
• Do you have an approximate time period when you will start the modifications to Subscription Tools that we have discussed in other posts?

Friendly bump :o)
