Am thinking about purchasing Pay to Publish for a site that I have in development but had a question about purchasing multiple ads simultaneously. I noticed that on the demo site once you hit publish it brings you immediatley to Paypal in order to pay for that particular node. Is there any way to configure things so that a user can select which nodes to publish and then proceed to Paypal? For my implementation, users will be creating upwards of a hundred ads. Paying for them individually would be out of the question. Thanks!
As per my previous question on this forum asking to what extent Paypal Node may be customized, what you describe above was accomplished in my implementation by first setting up a meta content type to be associated directly with a Paypal Node plan.
Publishing the meta node would require the user go through the payment processing steps handled by Paypal Node.
Then, in the background, a custom module periodically (i.e. upon every cron run) would check for newly published, unexpired meta nodes, and upon finding any, the custom module with publish any real content nodes associated (via nodereference) with each meta node. A similar cron process un-publishes the content nodes when a meta node expires.
