Sorry if this is the wrong forum...... I just installed amember for some feature testing and immediately a couple questions come to mind: 1. When adding a member through the admin, there is the product dropdown, and a date range dropdown. Since a product is already defined by a time period, what does the date range in the add a member do? If you specify a date range that is different from the product range, does it over ride the product time period? 2. If a member can be added manually for 0$ and can then gain access to the subscription area, what is the point of having (and differences) of the "free" module? Thanks in advance!
1. yes, it overrides the default setting. For example I have used this in two different situations. One, giving someone access for a very short time, for example a jounralist evaluating a product or something like that. I give them a week. Giving myself or other 'staff' a very long subscription, so we can always log in as members and test the system without having to renew. 2. The free module allows any user who happens by your site to register for a product that you have defined as free. Allowing you to add anyone from the admin CP to any other product allows you to give people free registrations to products that normally have a cost. For example the two situations above - you don't want to have to pay for them!!
