Members area
- Primary functionality: allow OPI.org members (paying members) to access more content in return for their contribution fee.
- Secondary functionality: OPI members management space: enabling an “administrative” member to manage users, keep logs, do internal management
Thinking word: paywall ?
Example: members would get access to the archive newsletters beyond the current year ?
Please complete this with other examples of expected use / function.
Technically speaking, this has progressed well this week. I sucessfully installed PHP-Login on the server and we now have a crude, need-to-customise members area. PHP-Login takes care of all of the heavy lifting in terms of the account / user structure:
- up to date PHP7 / MariaDB compliance
- password hashing
- automatic user mailing
- account generation
- password hashing
- password reset (through user mailing php-mailer)
- user role management (can define as many roles as we need + link administrative abilities to each role)
