   Sounds like a great idea. I’m trying this out now.

   Hi,
   this is a nice idea…
   But, I’ve this message :

   Misc Blog Actions

   Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, ‘premium_blog::configure’ was given in /My/Complete/Path/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 123

   And I can’t specify a “Premium Blog”.

   So far–it seems nice/functional. I can’t find where to make a blog a premium blog though. It does work on the plugins.

   Keep working on it–it is a great idea and a great start. If you get it working where you can actually specify premium blogs please let me know!

   Thanks!

   I got a fix for the inability to choose a Premium Blog. But, of course, I do not know how to do the theme thing or anything like that. If you need to know what I did, I am posting it on the mu-forum with a link to your download + my code, because I do not know how to properly code a plugin.

   The following is DrMike’s words, not mine, just edited to make the premium selection work with this plugin.

   - Open up wp-admin/upgrade-schema.php for editing.
   - Go down until you hit the function populate_options.
   - See all those add_option lines? What we need to do is add in our own with a default. For example, we’ll add in the following line:
   add_option(’premium_blog’, 0);

   This way when a new blog is created, it will already have the flag set in there to be negative.

   But what to do with blogs already created? We’re going to have to fake an upgrade.

   - Open up wp-includes/version.php for editing.
   - See that line that lists the current database version number? Add ‘1′ to it. For example if it’s currently 3845, edit it to show as 3846. Be sure to save the file afterwards. (The software checks against the version numbers. If they match, it assumes it’s already been done.)
   - Open up wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php for editing and go about a third of the way down. You should see a bit like the following:

   if ( $wp_current_db_version Site Admin -> Blogs -> Find their blog and edit it. Using thte example above, your should now have a field with ‘Premium Blog’ in front of it. Change it to 1 and save.

   End Dr Mike and insert me.

   When you have this selected, and certain plugins designated as “Premium” under the Premium Menu option, all the plugins will show. The ones that are designated as Premium will not show for those who are not designated as premium.

   Now, I want to do this with themes as well. Unfortunately, I am not a coder–I just experimented with DrMike’s advice. (If I knew how to put together the entire plugin I would).

   If someone could point me in the right direction, or explain how I could do the same thing for themes–I would appreciate the help. If I could do that, I think I would accomplish everything I need with this plugin.

   [...] looks like Dylan is also working on a Premium blogs plugin which despite being in the early stages looks really promising. I can personally envisage [...]
