    Hello,

    I've spent hours on this and it's driving me nuts, so any help would be much appreciated.

    I have 5 sections on a site that are offering 2 products each (one free, one paid). That makes 10 distinct products. The visitor will only ever be a member to one product at a time. So here's the flow:

    join_now.php ?id=ProductA ==> amember_signup.php ==> (redirect to) content_productA.php

    join_now.php ?id=ProductB ==> amember_signup.php ==> (redirect to) content_productB.php

    So my questions are; Can I pass variables to the signup page, how do I limit the signup page to just the one product of many (I only want the user to have the one product available on the signup page), and where on Earth in the dashboard is the product URL that I use as the product link?

    Sorry for all the questions. This really shouldn't be as hard as it's turned out to be :(.

    Many thanks for any assistance.

    Doc.

    You can create as many sales pages as you want with the form editor found at Configuration -> Form Editor. It is a little confusing because you use a signup page as a sales page. If someone is already logged in, all the login in fields are hidden. See this page from the Version 4 wiki for a brief description.

    Each form has a unique URL and you control what products are offered on the form by clicking on "Configure" on the products brick.

    See if this isn't what you need :)

    Grant, thank you very much! (If there was a 'kneel down and kiss feet' emoticon, I'd insert it here!). That sorted out most of the issues.

    I'm still unsure though how I would redirect the visitor to the content page directly from the customised form (and not to the 'thank you for signing up' page)?

    Are you using aMember in conjunction with a CMS platform? With WordPress you can build custom menus for all the scenarios and then hide/show menus (in a sidebar widget) based on a customer's membership. Works real slick.

    You can also hide/show menu items in the top nav bar based on memberships.

    No, I'm old school. Hand coded pages. Imagine!

    What is this WordPress of which you speak?

    I've been asked to configure our Amember cart to offer multiple quantities of products. This does not appear to be possible even though the cart and basket both show a quantity column. Is this ability something that will be added late or should I install a real shopping cart?

    For instance, we offer a CD along with (protected) online access to the contents of the CD. People sometimes want to buy two or three of the CD.

    It is a popular content management system (CMS). It allows you to build a full-featured site without writing code. The WordPress software is open source; however, the theme of the site in the demo is premium ($)

    I did this demo to just show some basic features. I will be producing some "serious" video soon.
