How to Protect a Page

Okay this is crazy, i want to protect a page and simply can;t. I am lost. I am using 4.23 and want to protect a page on my site but has no way or instructions how to do it like to old way. What am i doing wrong?

Is the page contained in a folder or just a single php page?

http://www.amember.com/docs/Main_Page and scroll down to 'Content Protection'

it contains a single page on my server. yet there is no documentation to do it. What a disappointment. All i want to do is when a user click on a button it prompts them to register. This version has no way of geerating any protection code

It's a single page

Maybe I am missing the point here. First you say you want to protect a page so I pointed you to the wiki where it describes how. In aMember admin select from left-hand menu protect content then pages from the top menu.

Then you come back wanting a button on a page that prompts them to register. Can you explain exactly what you are looking to do?

If you are wanting to have a page that displays normally but with a button that points to the aMember signup page then all you need is to construct a normal html button with a link that points to 'yoursite.com/amember/signup' but this bit is really out of the scope of aMember program.

Or perhaps a link to the page you are referring to might be more helpful.

Ok you're missing the point here. I read the directions but my page is not protected. my page "downloads.php" is the page that need protecting. There is no instructions on how to protect that page. The old amember gave you codes to place inside the page but this one does nothing. Can you tell me how to do that

This software is insanity, highly illogical and confusing. I would put this down as a lost and for something else which makes sense. You people should be ashamed of yourself. I've been using version 3 for 5 years and made the mistake of upgrading, now nothing works, a simple question results in arrogant condescending responses which as a paying customer is unacceptable. You've just lost yourself a customer. a full paying customer which you;re going to need lots of with this foolish upgrade.

Thanks for answering, I have other issues with this upgrade

(1) Customization. In the old version, i could customize my login/signup pages by going to "login.html and signup.html" in the template folder. How could i do this in this version?

(2) Everytime i log into my control panel, i get this message Could you tell me how to turn it off or what i have done to cause this. '

Cron job has been running last time NEVER (oops! no records that it has been running at all!), it is more than 24 hours before.​

Most possible external cron job has been set incorrectly. It may cause very serious problems with the script" C​

Issue (3) This is bad, after signing up, i get this error, i look at my membership and i am registered.

An Error has occured
An internal error happened in the script, please contact webmaster for details)​

Okay you win, this is insanity, you of absolutely no damn help to me and i ough to get a refund. Go ahead and keep my money for a product that does not work. I would revert to version 3 as this is a complete piece of garbage software upgrade. What you;re doing is sending me links that i've already been. What the hell, i am a web developer don;t you think i know my way around a directory structure? This damn folder does not exist "application/default/views/ user-side templates" so i can;t personalize my login. I am stuck with your ugly logo in my face. I don;t need any cron job as i am not selling anything on the site. So i must live with that damn error in my face. You people are idiots, worst of all you don;t help your customers, you should be litigated out of this business and i wish i had the resources to do it. To all planning to upgrade to this software, DON"T, it's stress waiting to happen. Amember want your money but are not willing to help GFY!!!!!
