Hello All,

We've just released an updated version of Website Membership. This update refines the functionality introduced in 1.06 for using a separate accounts table for website users.
http://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/detail.php?Website-Membership-1012

NOTE: This version requires CMSB 2.13.

Here's what's new in 1.07:

MINOR CHANGES & BUG FIXES
- On save of WSM_ACCOUNTS_TABLE, if it's not accounts, encrypt passwords if needed
- Example files now use $GLOBALS['WSM_ACCOUNTS_TABLE'] instead of 'accounts' so they recognize different accounts tablenames
- Sign-up example file no longer updates the _accesslist table if using a seperate table for website users

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin

I am using the 1.07 plugin. Everything seems to work well so far ( I created a new "members" table instead of accounts). The only issue I have is that when a current user uses the profile.php file to change their password, it doesn't change the password; its still the original generated by the plugin on initial account creation.

Any ideas??

Hi,

I would like to use a separate table. But, I would like to pre-empt the limitations.

For example, is it still possible to use the plugins websiteComments, WebsiteFavorites and WebsiteSavedSearches?

The functions lastlogindate and expiresdate, neverexpires are available or is it necessary to write a request?

Is there a schema of table which is recommended?

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi,

There are no limitations to website favorites and saved searches when using a separate table. There has only been 1 documented bug with website comments. A temporary fix has been posted here:

For schema, what works best is to use the accounts schema to create your new section. In the new section, remove the "accesslist" field.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Yes, lastlogindate is populated the same. Also all the expiry and disable functionality is there.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I have a problem with the session variables.

I often use this code. But, with a separated table, it seems that it is not possible.

if (!defined('START_SESSION')) { define('START_SESSION', true); }
require_once 'lib/viewer_functions.php';
if (!@$_SESSION['username']) { header("Location: /"); exit; }

It seems that the session variables are not available.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks!

Hi,

You shouldn't need to do anything with sessions, as the plugin should be taking care of that for you.

To access information about the currently logged in user, you can use the $CURRENT_USER array, which has access to all the information in the member account.

If you need to redirect if they're not logged in, try this:

if (!$CURRENT_USER) { websiteLogin_redirectToLogin(); }

Hope this helps
