Xoops And How I Did It

How I Did it:

Purchased amember and XOOPS plug in.
Installed amember as directed by install manual
Installed XOOPS plug in as directed by install manual

1. Go to Administration of the XOOPS Site, Prefs., User Info Settings & Setting Allow new user registration to No.

2. Go to Administration of the XOOPS Site, blocks, Login - Edit, Edit Template, then paste this in the template IF you have amember installed as www.domainName.com/amember.

<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/amember/member.php"><{$block.lang_login}></a>
<br /><br />
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php#lost"><{$block.lang_lostpass}></a>
<br /><br />
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/amember/signup.php"><{$block.lang_registernow}></a>

Click Submit

Once you do this to login to your admin account for now on you must go directly to http://www.domainname.com/user.php/ OR click on the lost password link to take you there.

Now you need to edit the block lang file located Root\language\english\user.php

Find:
define('_US_NOTREGISTERED','Not registered? Click <a href=register.php>here</a>.');

Change to:
define('_US_NOTREGISTERED','Not Subscribed? Click <a href=/amember/signup.php>here</a>.');

Used News as my main module in home page where I placed a notice to tell users this is a subscrption site.

Took me about an hour but I am not a programmer. Took me more time to find everything then change it. It is working and working well.

See it at http://www.soegamers.com, if you test it out I will refund your money just send me an email and I will issue a refund within 24 hours

Any trouble getting aMember to work with Xoops 2.2.3 or 2.2.4?

nope not a problem at all, it runs with any site out there. Just make sure you get the XOOPS plugin

Got any advice for this question?

I haven't heard back from support since I asked them about it. So Im sitting here in Limbo, trying to resist finding another script somewhere else.

I really like this script. I just can't use it yet. Arggg!

What version of Xoops are you running? Xoops it always prefix_table unless you changed it. in the old 2.0.X it was always xoops_ in the newer versions it is random when you install it.

What website is it and I might be able to help you out. If you bought the script why dont you use the support option in your account?
you can contact me at churchill at soegamers period com

lol I think you get my point

I am using Xoops 2.2.3.

Alex left me a message stating that he attached the xoops plugin to the xoops db.

I haven't been able to test it yet.

But I have a few questions about how aMember links to Xoops groups.


I planned on putting a price per group.

For example:

Gold Membership $24.95 (gold group in xoops)
Silver Membership $19.95 (silver group in xoops)
Bronze Membership $14.95 (bronze group in xoops)


Is it possible to have a group automatically assigned to a product in aMember?

This is very good support, and I thank you!

Alex did a fine job getting my xoops DB connected.

Now, I have a few more questions.


About the plugin_template:

What is this? $this_config['cfg_field'] in the plugin code

And how does it relate to the Xoops template?

And: plugin_template Db and Tablename


What would I put in there?


Also, is the only way for people to login with aMember installed, the way suggested by Churchill in post #1? Or is there anyway to keep the Xoops Login fields, and use the aMember module only for signing up?

I don't want to replace the Xoops login form, if I don't have to.

Thanks again everyone! BTW- This has been a good experience, despite my frugal ways.

Well. I recant my statement yesterday.

I thought that there was a maximum of a 24 hour threshold for support?

I have a few urgent issues, and Im still waiting on some info from support, its been more than 24 hours.

(big sigh)
