Idea for a new product - Members Area
|
Can't Post

I would love to find a turnkey solution to having a members only area. The features of this would be the following: - Password protected so only those with a login can enter (the option to allow users to create their own account or allow the admins to create the accounts is a must - Our use will be for our church and we will want only church members to have access so we will generate the accounts, but others may want the ability to allow users to create accounts.)
- Build in a database to keep informaton and/or have the capability to link to another database.
- Integrate with your other products, especially AM.
- Have features that the member can add/update and have other sections that only the admins can update. This would be used for members to update their address, e-mail, phone numbers, etc, as well as any other fields that you wanted to allow them to update. Must have the ability to say public edit (this would mean that all members can edit), private edit (this would mean that only the member that posts and the admins could edit) or admin edit (which means that only admins can edit this information). I would have the ability to do it on a field by field basis as well as on a record by record basis. The field authority would override the record authority, if it is a higher authority (for example, the record is marked private, but the username is marked admin, the user would be able to change anything but their username).
- Have fields set up for name, address, phone, e-mail, etc. that could be customized. (basically user-defined fields, but have some default in as user information). Also have flags for visible to all, visible to owner, visible to admins for each field.
- Some of the user defined fields could be images, where you would upload an image and it would automaticly sequence it and tie it to a record, so you could display them in a series. (Our use would be for a members directory).
- Have the ability to create records that relate to other records. (This could be similar to a bulletin board, but in our case it would be used for prayer request and updates to those request) It would also be nice to have the ability to allow only the originator or admins to reply/update those requests, and be viewable to any other member.
- Have a search that will only search user's information.
- Have display options where you can just list names and the sorting and the user would click on the name to see the rest of the information.
- Have the first page that comes up, when a user logs-in, a "My Information" page where it would list their Name, Address and other contact information, any prayer requests they added, etc. This would be the page where they would go to edit any of their private information.
- Integrate it with the several bulletin board software out there.
That's pretty much what we would need, but any other ideas to make it better would be great.
