TagesWoche Newscoop 4.4 Implementation
Classifieds plugin
Context
In October 2014 TagesWoche introduced a member club model which allows people to pay an annual fee to support them. Unlike a paywall, access to content is not restricted, but new benefits created for members. There are four membership levels and this value will be stored in the user profile. Classifieds are benefit for club members (everyone can see them, but only club members can post).
