Hi there - Does anybody know if aMember is compatible with Joomla! 1.5.2 ? I'm getting ready to install both, but a colleague of mine is saying that the newest version of Joomla will not work with aMember. He also says that VBulletin won't work with the 1.5.2 version. Can anybody else verify this? I can't help wondering if the comments are just coming from somebody who's either had a bad experience with the upgrade, or just doesn't want to upgrade yet. Thoughts? Thanks! Cynthia
I am using the newest version of Joomla and it does work with aMember. However, the aMember mambot / plugin seems to have some problems with redirecting of the default joomla login page, I will have to take a look into this. Tomas
Yep, i've done Joomla integrations up to 1.5.3. As Tom said, there are some mambot (plugin) issues, but you can edit the code to fix it (redirect properly). Sorry, cant advise on vbulletin. David
OK, the aMember "mambot" (I know it should be called "plugin" but it's kind of confusing with all the other plugins...) was somewhat buggy. Or simply it didn't really work well in situations where your Joomla session timed out so you were automatically logged out of Joomla but still logged into aMember. In such situations the Joomla login page was displayed and you had to login through Joomla, not aMember, and the password reset / remind features in Joomla did not get properly redirected to the aMember login page either. It was just a big big mess that created "login loops". Actually, when looking at the code, I am not sure if it ever really could work reliably. Anyway, I have hacked the "mambot" code so it should now work quite well, and you should never ever see the Joomla login page - only the aMember one. The main difference now is that when your Joomla session expires / times out, the aMember session is destroyed as well so you are logged off completely. See the attached file, readme.txt is enclosed.
