The newest version of PayToUpgrade, version 1.6, is now available (JED Listing). This release has numerous enhancements and continues the march of PayToUpgrade in being the easiest way to charge users for features and permissions on your site, and for adding payments to 3rd party components like Mosets Tree, HotProperty, JomSocial, Agora, and more!
The biggest enhancement is the ability for a user to easily extend their upgrade without having to let it expire first. This allows a site owner to help prevent listings from going unpublished, maintain a steady revenue, and keep your users more engaged in your site. In addition, PayToUpgrade has also been updated to fully utilize Joomla's language files, so each page can be easily translated to your language of choice. Additionally, by request of users (where we get many of our development ideas) enhanced filtering options and ease-of-navigation features have been added in the front-end views.
Regarding the upgrade plugins we currently offer, we've overhauled the HotProperty plugin to make payments for properties even easier. Best of all, it's been fully tested with the HotProperty 1.0.x releases, ensuring that all features are supported from that release. PayToUpgrade makes creating your own paid real estate listing site easy!
With 1.6 out the door, we'll be working on 1.7, which we're targetting to have recurring subscriptions built in. Going forward, we'll also be updating our demo site to better show the capabilities of PayToUpgrade with supported 3rd party extensions. 1.7 will also lay the groundwork for an upcoming Joomla 1.6 compatible release.
