I believe the poster is talking about the edublogs' one.
They haven't released it. I could have sworn that we had a thread on it previously but I don't see it. You can pretty much do the same thing with the Upgrades plugin.

I'm not currently but I have clients who are. They just add in the plugins they want to a single upgrade account and just name it supporter or whatever they call that level.
One site calls them "rabbits" and the credits have been renamed pellets. :)
it seems it just got released?
any more info?
does it completely replace the upgrades plugin?
will the upgrades plugin still be maintained or are we advised to switch over?
Does it offer all functions of the upgrades plugin and if not what is missing?
- by abandoning the old package system, I can no longer offer different packages, meaning i.e. I cannot assign the main blog a higher quota. I have to change the overall supporter quota, to change the quota on the main blog. formerly one could create a big package, then "purchase" it jsut for the main blog
- while logged in as the site_admin on the main blog, I can't seem to see the supporter menue... is that by design? I can only acces the settings
- the Free days for all new blogs don't get saved :-( I changed i.e. to 30 saved, jumped back to 0...
- any more examples on how to use the plugin except for the quota and ad free stuff?
- how does the adfree stuff work? will you update the theme pack to incorporate these changes? right now it requires manual changes to all themes, right?
- will the who sees ads plugin become obsolete?

You should be able to change the quota per blogs in Site Admin > Blogs > Edit (default WPMU)

Yep (I think so)

Hmmm... we'll take a look.

Disabling whole swathes of WPMU functionality :) But there'll be more on that in a bit.

Yes, we will, it's much easier than WSA of course!
- will the who sees ads plugin become obsolete?
Although this still has great value so we'll continue to maintain a WPMU version of it.
Hope that helps... hang on for more info on it over the next few days, ther are a few personal things that may well get in the way of this so your patience is mucho appreciated.
:-) thx for the info.
as soon as I found the plugin in the downloads section but no release post had been made, I knew I was ahead of time. But as you can clearly see, my patience lasted from morning till after work, then I HAD to install it :-)

that never worked, jsut tested: I set the quota of a blog higher than the default, then check that blog's dashboard and it still displays the default quota there :-( didn't work out with the upgrades plugin either, I had to subscribe to one of the packages to get more upload space for the main blog too...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was referring to the edublogs plugin. I am going to look into the upgrades plugin. Are you using it?
Erstwhile founder — 26th January 2009 (3 years ago) #
Hiya,
We'll be releasing the Supporter plugin shortly.
Thanks,
Andrew

Just download plugin, awesome! Can you tell me how to implement ads and how to disable features?
Founder & CEO — 3rd February 2009 (3 years ago) #
Ad code is in install - disabling features stuff is coming (fairly) soon :)
We still haven't technically released it yet...

James, I see the ad code. Do I put that directly in themes along with my add code to show ads?
Founder & CEO — 4th February 2009 (3 years ago) #
Yep, BTW, am closing this thread down and starting a new one to deal with Supporter stuff specifically as it's quite a big deal.
