    Hello,

    We sell online Linux Training in French using AMember v4.2.7.

    We have three signup forms as follows :

    1. Trainees with product group A - default sign-up form
    2. Affiliates with no products (obviously) - default affiliate sign-up form
    3. Resellers with product group B ( Reseller packs using the subusers plugin) - personalized sign-up form with URL /amember/signup/index/c/KyjIxyMvv

    When a user logs in and arrives in their profile, the Renew/Buy new subscriptions tab always shows the products from group A.

    We need Resellers to only see products from group B.

    Is this a bug ? Or is this behaviour intended and our request requires custom coding ?

    I think the next or an upcoming release of amember 4.x will allow you control over the design of the members dashboard. I asked about removing the newsletter header and thats what I was told.

    Thanks for that David.

    However, this is a show stopper for us at the moment. Without it, we have a signup form with over 20 subscriptions on it, half of which do not interest the target client ( ie 10 for Trainees and 10 for Resellers ).

    On top of that, I cannot seem to find a way to duplicate the v3 behaviour of having subscriptions just show up on the signup page or just show up in the members dashboard ! Either I am missing something or that must be a real bug.

    I need to push up the priority of this fix.

    Any ideas how that can be done ?

    Regards

    Hugh

    Hi All,

    I ran into a similar problem. It appears that the Renew/Buy button is accessing the default login form.

    I got around the problem by creating a an empty product group and assigning it to the default login form.

    This results in an empty listing under Renew/Buy button. I then created links to the forms I wanted my customers to see.

    In new product group, I created an empty product with the name:

    "Please Order Free Trials or Purchase Products From Those Tabs On Selection Menu Thank You"

    Even though its a product title, it redirects the customers to specific product lists.

    For this, you create a custom signup form under the forms settings- you set which products you want to display.

    Hi

    Thanks for this input. It gave me a couple of ideas. This is what I ended up doing.

    1. I removed the Renew/But button in the profile.
    2. I created just one product for the default sign up form for Trainees ( it is a trial product - free for life) in product group AFREE,
    3. I created another sign up form for Resellers with just one product ( again, it is a trial product - free for life) in product group BFREE,
    4. I created two more signup forms, one for Trainees with all products from product group A and one for Resellers with all products from product group B,
    5. I created a protected link in aMember for Trainees with product list A. The link shows up in the profile for users having an active subscription to a product in product group AFREE,
    6. I created another potected link in aMember for Resellers with product list B, The link shows up in the profile for users having and active subscription to a product in product group BFREE.

    Now Trainee signs up to the free subscription from the default signup form. In his profile he sees the link to all products from group A

    Resellers sign up to the free subscription from /amember/signup/index/c/KyjIxyMvv. In his profile he sees a link to all products from group B.

    Complicated but it works !

    Thanks for your input
