I am reading the step by step installation on the manual and I am so incredibly confused. Is there a dummies guide somewhere? For example: Step 1: Unzip the distribution of the script. I know how to unzip a file but where is this file? I need instructions that say "go to this page, click this, download file, then unzip the file, copy and paste folders into website..." Or is there a phone number where someone can speak to me about how to do this?
If you require that low level of assistance I might suggest requesting an installation via aMember support: http://www.amember.com/support/
No unfortunately there is no better instructions. You can contact me in Skype: alexander_cgicentral I will help with installation. Also in regards to your question about files location., It you try to install Trial version, you can download files here: http://www.amember.com/p/main/download/
It's not the trial version. Basically I need a user to click a "join now" button, then they are taken to a page where they enter CC info and pay a membership fee, create a username and password, and then they will have access to a members area on my site which will only be accessed by the username and password. I'm a designer, not a programmer- in other words I am right-brained vs. left brained... so after making the site look "pretty" I am clueless what to do next!! I was told that combining this program with authorize.net will help me accomplish this, but I don't even know where to begin. Thanks everyone for your replies! I appreciate it!
First, you will need to signup for authorize.net account. Then enable and configure payment plugin in aMember CP -> Setup -> Plugins Then Create products in aMember CP -> Manage products and set protec tion for folders in aMember CP -> Protect Folders. After above will be done, try to signup as regular user and test everything.
