Your Member Admin area

• Home – statistics and news

• Members and subscriptions

  • Member management – paged list of members,
    • can filter and sort.  Would be more intuitive if sorting was achieved by links on column headings, rather than a reload.
    • can do bulk updates of selected users. The styling and java script make the action areas seem seaprate, yet they actually relate to the user list.  Need to try to do this  in a way that is similar to wordpress user list
  • Members Roles – subscription options and account types
    • specify types of plans, and the account types they relate to.

• Content Management and Access Control

  • Access Settings
    • Registration control - say whether account type can be selected at registration
    • Specify Full or partial protection.  In Full protection, enable public access otherwise all will be directed to login screen.
  • Download Manager – to add cloaked (protected) download files – does not work at moment with podcast due to cloaking
  • Page excludes – exclude any thank you/cancelled etc pages
  • Pay Per post management – who has sold/bought and gifting a post
  • Users Custom fields (Custom Profile fields, eg: terms, country, address)

• Payment Gateways

  • Free – required for pay per post. Set duration and logo. How does this duration related to free account type
  • Trial – duration set in subscription options,  Set logo here.
  • Paypal – set paypal email address and return url’s (thank you and cancel – default  options are provided.).  Set logo, test/live mode, or subscription type.

• Other Settings

  • General Settings – Main, name, email, login redirect
  • Setup (Setup Posts) – Link Posts and Pages to Account Types – aimed at conversion of existing site?
  • Messages – text’s that the user sees
  • Modules (Payment Modules) – this is where you activate the payment gateways.  Also has access/link to setup all your paypal configuration. Remember to change the Paypal sandbox and user name

Reorganisation of Admin Area

Ideally I’d like to separate initial configuration (more skilled) and ongoing management (could be someone else):

Ongoing Management:

• Member management – paged list of members
• Pay Per post management – who has sold/bought and gifting a post
• Download Manager – addition of new protected material
