Information blocks under each plan

Darkle

Hi!

I feel like this community is under Blomstra, maybe I'm wrong... 👀

It would be nice to be able to include customisable html text blocks just below each plan, so I could include information about the benefits the user will get with each plan. I feel like Stripe's description is not enough, especially if you want to go into details about actions the user could do with one plan or another (via permissions) ...etc.

I have a few more ideas for this extension that I would like to go into in depth when I have some more time.

That makes sense. I am not entirely sure how feasible an entire text editor/composer would be inside the admin area within the tag or group permission modal though 🤔

I'd love to hear those 👍️

luceos That seems more complicated than I thought, but you're right, I hadn't thought that the group name, icon, colour and PTA are imported directly from the group permission modal.

This will require a ingenious solution, if I come up with something at some point I'll post it here 😃

Hi y'all! As of flarum/core#2649, the text editor itself is in the common namespace. If we manage to get bundle splitting for the composer elements in place for this coming release (flarum/core#1643), ALL composer things (core and extensions) will have to be in a separate module, meaning that they should be lazy loadable from both the admin and forum application.

I've been configuring a couple of things in Stripe and I've noticed that you can upload an image for the products and it doesn't seem that there are important size limitations.

Maybe it would be a good idea to be able to import this image of the product in the same way that is done with the description, this image could be used to include information about the subscription or other uses, I think it could look good, obviously it is something that would have to do each person since you have to create the image, but it would be interesting.

I'm going to make some test images in photoshop to see how it would look like.

Darkle Let me know how that goes, it might indeed be an interesting feature.

luceos I've been looking into this, actually maybe it could be a temporary solution as long as it is technically possible to bring the image through the API, I guess it is, just like bringing the description that is written on the Stripe product.

Anyway, on second thought I don't think it would be an ideal solution for the future of the extension as it would depend 100% on Stripe and if a new provider is added it would be a problem. Also, I'm not sure yet, but I think that image would appear on the statement of some banking applications which would be a bit weird.

Maybe it would make more sense to add the image to the indicated tag, on a button in the tag settings, this would at least not depend on Stripe or affect other providers.

luceos

Darkle I think I could enrich the stripe product information with an image link quite easily. As to different providers, I'm not entirely sure when this is going to happen honestly.

I will revisit payments somewhere the coming months. I think this feature might be worth looking into.

Darkle

luceos The image link would be nice, I'm happy with Stripe, I just didn't know if you were going to add more providers and this might interfere, cool.

It's been a while since we've talked about this, and well I'm using my own "solution" for this, but today going through a product description in Stripe I came across this:

I would say this is something new (Feature list), no? At least I don't remember it being there when I commented on this... I think if it's as easy as my mind thinks it is to implement (don't trust my mind), it would be the ultimate solution to add information about subscriptions, without having to rely on over-complicated solutions 👀

luceos

Darkle certainly going to consider this for a future release. Good thought!
