If a member tries to access a product folder that he has no access to I want it to direct them to a custom sales page for that product... how do I achieve this redirect?
What I think you are asking to do is to create a custom redirect if they have expired or no access- this is a good idea. I think it can be added to the protect content section- will put into the bug tracker. David
Yes, it is a necessary feature and it has been planned. I am not sure how to implement it better - how and where must it be configured. Ideas: - text block with payment instructions and links at aMember CP -> Protect Content -> ... -> Edit - specify "no-access" link at aMember CP -> Protect Content -> ... -> Edit - show an automated message with link to first signup form where necessary product is present, but signup form may be "hidden", so that is possibly bad idea? - anything else??
defaults need to be defined too. Not logged in member redirect: Wrong access level (logged in) redirect: Expired redirect: Redirect on 1st login (if no other product ordered): David
how do I check on the status at the link http://bt.amember.com/issues/989 ? when I go there I am asked to log in. Also in the meantime is there a way to edit the htaccess file so that a redirect to a specific custom url occurs if the user has not access to that folder? Thanks in advance.
1. You have to create free account at amember.com: http://www.amember.com/amember/signup/index/c/free 2. Yes you can edit it, but I don;t recommend to do this. There can be several situations when user could be redirect back to protected area if was redirected to no access page by mistake, and this of course will not happen if you have it url.
i created a free acount at the lin but i can still not see this link... http://bt.amember.com/issues/989 it is asking me to log in
it says Invalid user or password i am also not able to upgrade my amember it asks for username/password as well and it does not accept it maybe something is wrong with my credentials?
It seems yes. Are you able to login with these credentials at amember.com ? If no please use Lost Password form here http://www.amember.com/amember/member to change your password.
Please contact me in helpdesk I will change password for that account and make sure it is working in bt.
Alex, Let's look at this redirect question from a little different perspective. We want to redirect a user to a sales page if he has no access. When someone has no access, he is no longer or never has been a member. He is a prospect... a potential new member or an expired member. No matter the case, we want to sign him up. This could be the existing "signup.phtml" page, which is currently pretty customizable. With a little HTML editing and CSS... very customizable. Then the issue becomes.. how can I get my protected content married to that new customized (signup.phtml) page. It would seem like a drop down menu in the Protected Content admin panel would work to select the customized signup.php page. You would need a popup menu for Visitors, and one for Members... perhaps a few depending on the member level. Since members already have a path, just the visitor option would be great. Here's a visual to show you my thinking. Warm regards, Dana Haynes accularian.com
