Now there is a truly automated billing solution for vBulletin sites. With DreamAccount
and the vBulletin Module, you can eliminate the need for dual logins, htaccess,
and manual intervention of any kind on your vBulletin site!
This module will give you the ability to sell subscriptions that will automatically
create and control the user's account level in vBulletin. You can then configure
vBulletin to grant specific privileges and content only to logged in users with
the appropriate account level.
This allows you to display specific content & forums only to paying members,
or members whom you have specifically authorized. It also allows you to restrict
the actions a user can perform in the forums, such as reading, posting, etc.
DreamAccount will update the vBulletin database to increase/decrease the user's
auth level each time billing is run, so once the subscription expires or billing
fails, their access will be dropped to the default level.
It will cause the following database queries to be mirrored on the DreamAccount
database when run in vBulletin:
- Email Update (via member area)
- Password Update (via member area)
It will cause the following database queries to be mirrored on the vBulletin
database when run in DreamAccount:
This module will also check the vBulletin database when adding new members
in DreamAccount, to be sure that the username and email address are unique and
not already registered in vBulletin.
You can also use the included utility script to:
- Copy all your existing DreamAccount users into vBulletin*
- Copy all your existing pMachine users into DreamAccount*
* Only recommended if you have a clean install of either DreamAccount or vBulletin
with no user data in one.
DreamAccount also come with a free module for integration with pMachine (www.pmachine.com),
and it has the same feature set as the vBulletin module described above.
Also in the pipeline for future release, are modules that will allow you to
control the following software via DreamAccount:
- phpBB
- PostNuke
- PhpNuke
- FreeRadius
- And more!
These guys are great!
If you are looking for software to run your online subscription process, look no further as this software does it all.
We have looked for a solution to automate our subscription process for a long time now, and when we found Dreamcost and made the decision to purchase it (DreamAccount) we were truly amazed that it did what we wanted and much more.
If you want service or support, you don't need to worry.
These people are the tops, they worked with us on a daily basis as we had an initial problem in setting it up but they stayed with us and helped resolve the problem.
They went above and beyond the call.
I would recommend Dreamcost to anyone needing subscription software.
