Hi everyone,
I'm searching to build a system that allows to users with a previously assigned username to access to my courses, after the payment of a fee (through Paypal + CC, but that's another story). After the successful payment, they have to receive at their email address a password to access the courses.
1) I imagined that I should be able to let users in as guests before the payment, converting them in students after. How can I do it? To manage the authentication through an external database sounds perfect but it seems like I'm missing something.
2) If I leave the password field empty, I can generate it through cron, but this has to happen after the payment. And, is there any way not to force users to change it (to keep it unchangeble would be even better) like it does?
Thank you very much for your attention, hope someone can help me.
