The power of GetPaid: An example job board
i wanted to give an example of using getpaid for more advanced things. as at its heart getpaid is generic order management and payment. i've put in svn an example of using getpaid to dynamically price items, and to integrate with content workflow, which will hopefully be helpful to others.
GetPaid is a very flexible framework, capable of complex and custom implementations. Building on the generic order management and payment system, lots of things are possible :)
Kapil documented one interesting implementation he did for a GetPaid sponsor, Contextual Corp, that shows examples of integrating GetPaid with workflow and custom pricing. The use cases include:
- Users pay to submit job board postings. Once it is paid for, it becomes visible to others.
- Price of the job depends on (a) the job board where it is being created and (b) the role of the user.
The work is in the GetPaid svn repository as GetPaidJob. Read more about it here: Readme.
Thanks to Kapil for writing this up and thanks to Ken and Contextual for sharing!
