   Hi,

   Great plugin. I was wondering about setting time frames for users, i.e. if a user has subscribed or logged in the first time is there a way to only have that username and password valid for 2 weeks or so?

   Thanks a lot,

   Marie

   Yes, but you'd have to get your hands dirty with a bit of code.

   There's a few ways you could do this, but here's some pointers:

   1. Start by creating an appropriate hook in your theme's functions.php file, or as a new plugin. You'd probably want to use the user_register hook.
   2. Use CTXPS_Queries::add_membership_with_expiration() to automatically register new users to a specified group with a specified expiration date (this is located in contexture-page-security/core/model_queries.php.

   Here's some code right off the top of my head that may do the trick (totally untested) - you'll need to check it to ensure the correct group id and whatnot suit your needs, of course.

   add_action('user_register','autoregister_user',10,1);
   function autoregister_user($user_id){
      $group_id = 3;
      $expires = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")) . " +2 week");
      $expires = date("Y-m-d",$expires);
      CTXPS_Queries::add_membership_with_expiration($user_id,$group_id,$expires);
   }

   Theoretically, the above will automatically enroll any newly registered user in the group with id 3, and that membership will expire two weeks from the day they registered.

   Hope this helps.
