CUNY Academic Commons

Here's more information on our policies surrounding proprietary/paid plugins: https://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/hosting-partner-handbook/ (see section 2.2)

In this case, if Jake is able to purchase and maintain a license for the paid version, we can likely accommodate it. I've got some technical questions about how the Pro version works, which can only be answered after seeing the Pro plugin files. So I'd recommend that Jake start the free trial described at the website, download the plugin zip, and send along to me. Then, I can assess exactly how it will work alongside the free option (which we must continue to provide to our existing users).

Jacob has sent the plugin and I've added it in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/93116314c124874d698a2540106f70e74fd6d947

A few notes on implementation. The plugin came in a zipped directory called 'freemius-premium'. This does not accurately describe what the plugin does, and I'm guessing it's a remnant of the way that the developer has the local environment configured. Moreover, the plugin appeared to be zipped in such a way that it included both the free and non-free version of the plugin; the freemius-premium top-level directory contained the free plugin, while a subfolder freemius-premium/freemius-premium contained the non-free plugin.

As such, I've taken that subfolder freemius-premium/freemius-premium, renamed it widget-for-eventbrite-api (matching the textdomain), and added it to the repo in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/93116314c124874d698a2540106f70e74fd6d947. I've looked over the codebase and I'm pretty sure this will work - there are no references to freemius-premium, and all paths are relative.

As I'm not really sure how the plugin is intended to work, we'll have to wait until after tomorrow's release for the user to verify that it's functioning properly.
