Pay to Publish 3.2 is now out, and it has fixed a lot of workflow issues and added a ton of new features!

This is a huge release. A number of bugs were fixed and there are a ton of new compelling features. You are now able to sell nodes that don't expire, as well as give specific roles the permission to publish nodes without paying. Another big new feature is the ability to require nodes to be approved by an admin before they are published. There are also a ton of new admin settings of things you can configure and customize as far as emails and notifications go. In short, this release will revolutionize how you use this module.

Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting

 Hi Leighton,  I was talking

 Hi Leighton, 

I was talking to you a few weeks back, is this the major release you were talking about then or is there another coming out soon?

Thanks, 

Shane

This is not the major release

This is not the major release I was talking about. The major release for Pay to Publish will be a week after the major release for Membership Suite and Affiliates Suite.

 Great! - When are those due?

 Great! - When are those due? You said at the time by the end of the month but I know these things can easily slide!

Shane, I am going to try for

Shane,
I am going to try for the end of the month. The main holdup is that everything needs to be re-written to extrapolate all of the PayPal functionality to a new payment gateway module, allowing for a modular gateway system and opening up the way for Authorize.net and Google Checkout, among others.

Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
