Is it possible to Code an addon this way?

LegitSells · 09-03-2009, 04:58 PM

I like to play World of Warcraft(online computer game) You can download 'addons' for this game, to enhance your game play. You just download it and plug the files into the correct folder, then log into the game and it is there.

What if I want to create some addons for my membership site, but if they download my addon then cancel their subscription, my addon will automatically be disabled..

Is that possible? Am I making my question clear?

Answer this please:

1. What language is your site written in?
2. What functionality will this add-on provide

It's certainly possible. A few questions.

Is your membership site's functionality entirely web-based? Or are there downloadable components (like WoW)?

If it's all web-based, then is there any reason to make the addons downloadable? Or would they be web-based too?

If the addons are web-based, then they really just become features of the membership site, which would normally only be active for currently subscribed members.

If the addons have to be downloadable, then they could be made to interact with some aspect of the membership site, which would allow them to be disabled for non-subscribers.

I hope this helps.

I am not sure whether Blizzard let addon connect to network or not. If yes, you can force your addon to check with your membership forum whether the current membership is valid or not.

you could create your addon that does a verification against a database hosted on your domain. If the code passed in has a status set to disabled then you quit the add-on
