Bulletin Boards Plugins

HOW IT WORKS

1. When user do sign-up in aMember, aMember will check for existisng user in BB database.

If user with the same username is exists in BB database, it will check that user enter the same email and password. If yes, user will be allowed to go through signup in aMember. If something differs, user will be
asked to choose another username, because entered is already taken.
If user with the same username is not found in BB database, member will be allowed to signup and will get
pending status in aMember.

2. As user completes payment, aMember will upgrade his record in BB (set another usergroup) or will add
new record into BB users database.

3. When user subscription expires, aMember will set previous usergroup in BB database for this user.

Plugin installation notes

"Denied groups" - it will allow your to protect your administration accounts in BB. Users who belongs to
this usergroup will never be changed by aMember.

"Default group" - it is group for not-paid customers. When member subscription expires, user will be
moved to this usergroup.

Also you will be asked to choose BB usergroup for each product in aMember.

Usage
There is 2 ways to setup it:
* you may disable users registration (using forum controls) and set links to aMember signup page
for new users.
* you may keep users registration enabled, but restrict default usergroup (again using forum controls).
Then you create new usergroups (for paid users) and paid customers will belong to these usergroups.
We recommend you this way.
