  • When testing a new account
    There is no need to log off from your admin area, just open your members area in another window and login.  Click here to open members area login in another window and login to your members area.
    Note: if you logoff from either admin or your members area it will clear both admin and member login sessions, therefore you will need to login again. Simple DON'T click the Logoff link!
  • Altering the Company name
    This can be changed by altering the value assigned to CO_NAME within the config.inc.php file.  This is set when you first install the application.

  • Changing the footers
    You can easily add your own html to both /members/footer.html and /_admin_/footer.html
    (where _admin_ is the original name of the admin folder)

  • Changing the headers
    Changing the headers can result in errors as these contain PHP.    However, you can still add your own html, but this requires a greater amount of care.  The header files are /members/header.html and /_admin_/header.html
    (where _admin_ is the original name of the admin folder)

  • Altering the main menu type
    This can be changed by altering the value assigned to MENU_TYPE within the /members/constants.inc.php file (this file also holds many other constants used within the application).  By default this is set to:  menu-type-dropdown.php
    There are two menu types provided, the other type is: menu-type-standard.php (this produces standard text hyperlinks)

  • Registration: Changing the final message displayed
    The message displayed to NEW members having just registered is either MANUAL_ACTIVATION_MSG or AUTO_ACTIVATE_MSG depending on if you have auto activate set to manual or not.  You can change this in /members/constants.inc.php file.
