I have been using aMember for a while now. I have also used many other membership systems. I know it isn't for everyone, and these are just suggestions imo on what I would personally like to see amember do. Is there a suggestion area in this forum? I think amember would be made 10x as powerful if the users could help make aMember better. After all, we use it for our businesses, so you are hearing the requests straight from the horses mouth.. 1) While aMember has affiliate tracking on a per user bases (the user can go in and see their referrers, ect.) I feel they should be able to see who they referred in and whether or not that user is active or expired. Maybe a setting in the admin area to enable/disable this ability. When you make an affiliate site, in some situations being able to view their "downline" or "referrals" is needed. Also some more detail to the admin's ability to look at affiliate information. If I have an affiliate "Joe" and I want to see who he brought in and how many, right now I think the only way is to click on every user in my system and look at the bottom and see if they were referred in... that sucks when you have 100s of members... 2) Support for iContact. I think you have or at least tried to setup integration for Aweber... but Aweber sucks. They are so sticky on rules and scared of spam that you can't even work with them. A lot of big businesses use iContact and imo it is 100x better. I would imagine that they would be easy to integrate into amember. Right now I have to export all my members and import them manually. Integration would be nice. While I can program in php, I just don't have the time to make these changes myself or they would already be done.
This is absolutely the right place to make suggestions, both the aMember staff and the partners that make integration plugins follow the forums. Regarding affiliate tracking, there is work being done with affiliate functions of aMember so I suspect the aMember staff will take your suggestions into consideration. Regarding iContact, take a look at Ken Gary's aMember integration plugin for iContact: http://kencinnus.com/plugins/integration/amail/ He also supports Mail Chimp, Get Response, Auto Response Plus and Active Campaign.
