Hi Michalis. Was the test member you created assigned to the payment group, or could you see the forums without the test member being assigned (also without paying)?
First up, make sure you have set up your pay pal account details to recieve funds. You'll find this at the bottom of the page in your main forum configuration. (Hopefully your template version allows you to see this - if not switch to another default template temporarily.) [If you skip this, when you try to join a paid group with a test user you'll just get an error telling you no account has been set up to recieve funds.]
Set up your payment group like you would any other. Select a minimum payment. (ÂÂÂ £10 perhaps. Don't enter currency symbols, you can set this up in configuration also. Just integer and decimal.) Make sure you set no free trial period. (Leave fields at 0.)
Log out, sign in with a test user - go to user groups and try to join the group. You will then be taken to paypal payment page - if you have set up an account. Once the user has paid and joined the group they can see the forum you have set 'pay group' only permissions for.
I can't yet tell you what will happen when a sub.scription runs out, but I'm assuming the user will be automatically removed from the user group. I've not got that far down the code yet.
Hope this helps!
PS: If your still having problems perhaps I can take a look this weekend - time allowing.
PPS: I'll help out Shamroc first this weekend and give him priority since he was the one who originally requested assistance about a similar, but different matter. It's likely that any problems that occur will be conected though.
EDIT: I just read your previous post Michalis and realised that you ARE wanting the same thing. I'm now wondering whether or not there is actually a problem with the programming, or whether it just works in very mysterious ways! I'll keep everyone posted.
