Example developments/modifications done
- Member Payment module based on userpoints module.
This module is used to distribute profit made by a website to all its members based on their points. It works with the userpoints module. The admin enters in the profit for the last month in the settings page and thus distributes the profit to all its members. The members are not given the money immediately, but their profit accumulates over the months. Then when the profit reaches a particular amount, the admin sends them the payment using paypal or any other payment gateway. The module keeps a track of all the profit made for the previous months and generates various reports to motivate the member and also to motivate new users to become members.
- Adding a header or footer to items in the RSS feed
With this module you can add advertisements directly in the RSS feeds of your site. You can have different advertisements for different content types like page, story, articles, aggregator2-items etc.
You can also add header and footer to the RSS feed items collected from other sites. It also works well with the totalfeed module. You can even put php codes in the header and footer of the RSS feed, which can call a google adsense block or any other php code.
