Hi i run Joomla site on htpp://www.deeptechtons.net and wanted to construct a membership based subscription where people pay to get premium articles.
Exactly the same as tutsplus site network.[ i think it is custom but some solution must be available for joomla]. I already looked into extensions directory nothing fits my purpose.
Some requirements i need are,
1.Custom Profile fields for members.
2.Any time un-subscribe from plan.
3.Simple interface to show plans available
4.Payment processor's support
Also how do i hide the articles for premium members from not showing in search results, both joomla and google.
Joomla has teensy, weensy setting that hides un categorized articles in search plugin.
If you are running your website on Joomla 1.5 then PayPlans might be the better choice. It blends very well with JomSocial and your design. And yes, its very much customizable.
If you want to use 1.5, then Joomla 1.5 + JomSocial + AEC. I would also use K2 for the content because it would make filling your request about keeping content out of Google trivial. I wrote an upgrade to the K2 content display module that would allow you to leave all of your content as public and only display the intro text to non-registered users. Then you display the member content in a module that only displays to registered users. Very easy to maintain and implement.

We need for articles to pass by an editor before getting published. Some pages need to pass by two different people. This is beyond the contributor/author/editor roles in the Joomla core, I think, because edits to existing pages need to be held for approval, during which time the original page needs to remain live.
Is this possible in Joomla 3.x?
An extension like this may help you
and other options are also ther use 3rd party software like processmaker and integrate it in JOOMLA in iframe and LDAP to verify users.
open source version of processmaker is available and free to use
I have this specific requirement that there is a list of names of people and a container for photo.
So when I click on specific user's name, his photo will appear in that container.
Is there any specific extension for this, so that admin can manage all the people names with their images ?
Thanks in advance.
If you are referring to an Avatar and using Joomla 2.5+ then I would recommend using Community Builder. I know it's a fairly big system, however it extends user profiles massively and might come in handy in the future.
If you're using Joomla 1.5 then you could always use DAvatar which is simply a plugin.
Hope this helps
You can user Community Builder as well but its very large & powerful extension & i think your interested to show only users image. If you have Joomla 2.5 then Profile Picture plugin will be most suitable for your case. Here is the link check it out. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/clients-a-communities/user-management/19702 . Hope it helps you.
Community builder is overkill just to get an image.
Here are a few options, depending on how often these are updated and whether you want to allow users to update these themselves.
Of course you can always make a category and an article for each team member, then use the links and urls to load the image in a standard location (override +use css in your template to do this). Use ACL to manage who can change this and to decide if you will allow users to manage.
Use the image field in the contact component, put all of the team members in the same category in contact. Put bio etc in miscellanous information. Only admins can manage this since it is edited back end only.
Use a profile plugin for com_user if you want users to be able to manage for themselves.
I have just migrated a lot of content from an old webpage to a 2.5 Joomla website. Almost every imported page contains a contact detail of one person from a 3-10 people pool.
I would like to define these contacts as Joomla contacts and just simply link to these profiles from every page.
How do I find or create a permalink to these user profiles?
I don't know of a native Joomla way of doing this, but due to the frequent ugliness of Joomla urls, we use YOURLS as an all-around link shortener on all of our sites. It comes with a front end that users are able to create their own links, etc., but we just use the mechanism, and some of the other features on the admin site of things - the mechanism itself is quite straightforward and easy to use once you create one to see what needs to be in the database for it to do it's magic.
I'm testing my Magento store with a bought theme at Princessly.com (which I have been testing and customizing since 4 months ago). I have an obsession of testing ALL different / possible pages of a site before launching it. In most cases, the site is simple enough to have about 3 - 10 different types of pages (list page, article page, contact form page, about page, etc.) which I would go through one by one to tweak and customize into every minor detail.
However, Magento (based on Zend Framework) seems to be very versatile in having all different sorts of pages accessible from a variety of different URLs (even for the same content). Understandably, the user experience is much more sophisticated with a eCommerce site than that of a content site, thus having many more types of pages.
In addition to the problem, theme designers may not fully understand Magento. They would usually left many not-so-common pages un-designed with just default styles that would look pretty ugly to users who step on them.
My question is, how can I find a reference / list of ALL possible Magento pages so that I can go through them one by one to make a consistenly good design throughout the entire Magento store?
Thanks a lot! It sucks to have obsessive disorders.
There is no list of "ALL possible Magento pages". Any frontend-routable module can have any number of action controller classes under its controllers directory, and those classes can have any number of route-satisfying methods.
I would like my Joomla website to behave like this:
All users can view new articles
When new articles are published over sometime (say 1 week), they become
old articles. (This part can be done
manually, if there are no extension
for it.)
Then,
Normal users can only view the title of old articles. If they click them, they are asked to pay.
Paid users can view old articles.
All users can search against new and old articles. But as mentioned, only paid users can view old articles.
What kind of extensions do I need?
Thank you very much.
Updated:
I asked AEC (Account Expiration Control) support about my requirements. Here the reply I got:
AEC is not an Access Restriction
component but a Membership Manager
that happens to be good at telling
other components what they should do.
Many users extend the Joomla
usergroups with components like
FlexiAccess, JACL or JUGA. With
extended usergroups (and, in this
case, Access Levels), you can restrict
access to articles, categories and
menu entries. I would advise that the
best idea might be to check out the
ACL components - AEC can cater to
pretty much all of them so that it's
more of a question whether the ACL
components can do what you want to
achieve.
Also - archiving articles is
completely out of scope for AEC, so
you'd have to find out how to
accomplish this in your content
management.
Updated 2:
I think AEC might be the one I need.
You can do this by using Access Expiration Control. You will have to do the follwing :
Create plans for your users and handle the plans ( Free, Monthly, Life time .. etc ) , the payment and the access control.
Create menu item for the archived articles.
Use ACE to make accessing this part of the site restricted to payed members.
Profit $$$
This is how I see how it could be done ... I've used on many sites but not for archived contents so I would recommend you contact the developers at their site and ask them about your case.
