Paid Profile Types Integration with JS Profile Types
Swati Goyal , 24 June, 2009
In
last 2 weeks we took community feedback for Paid Profile Types
Integration with JS Profile Types. We thanks a lot to all of you, for
suggestions. We are eager to implement this feature, but we are still
little bit scared from AEC (Account
Expiration Control).

<li>The best product available, in terms of features and existing
integration with other extensions.</li>
<li>Well known, its in joomla community for last 3 years.</li>

<li>It is complicated. It have a lot of options, but usability is quite

Writing a new extension from scratch is time consuming task. While
using AEC is looking fine enough, we need to come up with some active
support for AEC too, that way we can help you people around. So in
meanwhile, we are going thorugh AEC features.

<strong>Final Decision </strong>: We are going to integrate AEC
with JSPT in next release. This will be the only feature for 1.4. We
are targeting mid July for this feature.
