phpBB - Taking payments for posting - plugin?, coding?

Need to take payments for posting but how?

[Terabytes]

Hi!

I'm getting ready to embark on a new project with a customer using phpBB. The customer wants to take payments in order to post. I'm a noob to phpBB and I've done some searching for my answer, but have not received a clear answer.

do I need to have someone do some coding for this? Do I setup a seperate billing (like paypal, etc). Is there a plugin for this?

I'm sure someone is doing this, I just can't find out how.

Any suggestions or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

thanks! You guys ROCK!

Hi!

The customer wants users to make a payment prior to being able to post on their BB.

the full story here is they want to start a classifieds BB, charging a penny a letter to post an ad and $5 to signup.

Helps?

Thanks!

There is a cash mod you can installed. The mod is fake cash for phpbb forum. In the mod you can disable earn cash per post, donation. Then setup a custom script (in posting.php) to check if that customer has enough cash to post - if not display message end exit - if enough cash then proceed posting - when post is submitted, subtract certain amount in customer cash. Setup paypal so customer can pay certain amount and include their nick in the payment. Then as an admin upon recieved that payment you can set the cash of that user to that amount.

Is that make any sense? =P
