I have had so many questions on how i installed amember with the XOOPS plugin and had it work with my site.

First since amember gives you free installation I advise you to take advanatage of that. If not follow their directions and it should be pretty smooth.

Next you might want to take these steps I have put together so it intergrates with your site smoother and you dont have to ask how to use it.


HOW I DID IT:

Purcahsed 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, Templates, and "CLONE" the current default XOOPS template set.

3. Go to Administration of the XOOPS Site,
Preferences Main »» General Settings and set your default template set to the name of the clone.

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

<{$block.lang_login}>



<{$block.lang_lostpass}>



<{$block.lang_registernow}>

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 here.');

Change to:
define('_US_NOTREGISTERED','Not Subscribed? Click here.');

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 it is working and working well.

Goodluck
