Website Membership v1.04 BETA released Can't Post
Hi everybody,

I've released website membership v1.04 beta. You can download it here if you've previously purchased: http://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/my_purchases.php

Here's what's new:
- Requires CMSB 2.08
- We re-did all the example templates to start with user-* for easy sorting together
- Email templates are now available in /emails/

There's no easy upgrade so you need to use this on new sites or recreate the pages.

Let me know any feedback. If we don't get any bugs in a week or so I'll take this out of Beta and push it live. We're already using it on some sites ourselves.

Thanks!

Re: [Dave] Website Membership v1.04 BETA released [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi Dave,

1) Redirect on success does not function.
The user is not redirected on WEBSITE_LOGIN_POST_LOGIN_URL.
An idea?

2) use-password-request.php uses the template of use-password-reset.php.
Is It the approach which is envisaged?

3) Is It possible to send the e-mail to the format txt?
Or, is it possible to use a warning message?
For example: "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer."

4) Would It be possible to add a prefix for the templates (e-mail)?
For example: eml_user-password-reset.php

5) How to use the variable $isPreviewMode ?

Thanks for your assistance! :)

Hi, Dave,

It seems that it is the referer variable which is used as value for the redirection (line 108).
I commented the line and that functions correctly.

Thanks,

Djulia

Hi Dave,

In Fact, I understood the use of the plugin with the templates.
The PreviewMode function is interesting and your last correction of the plugin Spambot Email helps for its use!
http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum.cgi?post=87780#87779

The use of the email function is still obscure for me.
I did not find how to use it to send email messages in "Plain Text" format (or how not to send in base64).

Thanks!

Djulia

Hey Djulia,

I've been looking into the Website Membership beta issues. I'm curious why you need plain text? Do you have a lot of users that prefer plain text emails?

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,

My first post was awkward, and I did not indicate that it was a suggestion!

In Fact, we created a script to send a newsletter with cmsb. Also, to anticipate our work future with cmsb, and after having tested the beta release of WM, we thought of using the function e-mail integrated in cmsb. But, to send a newsletter, it is essential to be able to select the format (text or HTML).

We also observe that many people configure their messaging software to display by default the e-mails with the format text.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Hey,

I've posted a new beta for website membership v1.04. You can download it here if you've previously purchased: http://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/my_purchases.php

This release fixes:
Issues with redirecting to the correct page after login.
user-password-request.php now uses an email template of the same name.

Please let me know what you think!
Thanks,

Robin

Re: [Dave] Website Membership v1.04 BETA released [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi All,

Glad this is in the release pipeline.

One thing that concerns me is the combination of:

1) The comment in Dave's initial post in this thread: "There's no easy upgrade so you need to use this on new sites or recreate the pages."

2)The issue that previous versions of the Membership plugin do not support the new Encrypted Passwords feature in v2.08.

So...

Any chance that you could put together a list of the coding areas that will need to be checked/changed on the pages/forms for:

1) Existing Membership plugin implementations

2) Existing pages/forms that we're porting over to new installations

So that we'll have less "hidden" problems when upgrading?

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hey Jerry,

The pages that you'll have to make sure have the new membership code are the:
login, password-reset, user-profile and user-signup pages.

Anything else that doesn't involve logging in or setting a password will work as before.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks

Hi Robin,

Thanks for getting back on this.

Can you offer any more specific info on which code segments need to be replaced?

Thanks,

Jerry

Re: [gkornbluth] Website Membership v1.04 BETA released [In reply to] Can't Post
Hey Jerry,

The simplest thing to do is to replace the whole block of php at the top of each membership page (login, password-reset, user-profile and user-signup pages) with the new block from the example files. If there are any custom changes, you'll need to re-integrate them.

Hope that helps,
Robin

Re: [robin] Website Membership v1.04 BETA released [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi Robin,

On a different note.

I was looking for a way to redirect a cookbook subscriber to a renewal page if their subscription had expired, and found that you had already raised that question in the “error checking - logoff expired and disabled users” code section in this beta version of the membership plugin.

I think that a redirect on expiration function would be a very useful addition to the plugin.

Could it be implemented before the new version comes out of beta.

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Jerry,

Once software is in beta it's generally 'feature-frozen'.

I like your idea though, I'll forward it along to Dave to look at for the next version.

Thanks,
Robin

Re: [gkornbluth] Website Membership v1.04 BETA released [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi Jerry,

You could just add a redirect line to the top of each page (or to a common php header you load on all pages). Here's some (untested) code to point you in the right direction:

Code
$isMembershipExpired = strtotime($CURRENT_USER['expiresDate']) <= time(); 
if ($isMembershipExpired) { redirectBrowserToURL("renew_now.php"); }

Just don't put that code on the page you redirect to or you'll get an infinite redirect loop! :)

Hope that helps!

Good evening Dave,

Well, I tried it out.

Great solution,

So simple.

Simple is good.

Thanks again,
