RSJoomla! Blog - tutorials, tips & updates about memberships

Preventing spam in RSMembership! has just gotten easier. With the new version of our component we have introduced an integration with the new no CAPTCHA reCAPTHA. Read this blog post for more information on what's new, fixed or improved!

RSMembership! rev. 19 introduces the possibility to restrict access to only certain parts of your web pages, through a simple and intuitive syntax.

We’ve released RSMembership! revision 15, with a new subscribers option:
enable/disable changing user type when subscribing to a membership.

In the previous revision, we've added a new functionality: configure RSMembership! to automatically assign a certain user type for active subscribers.

e.g. automatically set active subscribers as editors.

New user options have been added to the “Memberships” and “Configuration” tabs, starting with RSMembership! revision 14:
disable account when a membership expires, change the user type based on their membership, display a CAPTCHA system for registered/unregistered users or allow subscribers to choose their username.

1. Allow customers to choose their username when subscribing

Starting with rev. 14, in the "Configuration" tab, you can allow subscribers to choose their username when purchasing a new membership.
While filling the subscription form, the username is checked on the run, using AJAX validation with no need of refreshing the page.

The new revision comes with new features for the subscriber’s email and the trial settings.

1. Expiration notification emails

Starting with rev. 13, subscribers can be notified when their membership is about to expire. This feature adds up to the existing subscriber emails sent on subscribe, renew and upgrade.

To edit the notification email, in the Joomla! backend panel head to:
Components >> RSMembership! >> Memberships >> Edit the membership for which you want to add notification email >> Subscriber’s email >> Click to edit the “Expiration Notify Email”

We've added a new placeholder, {interval}, which returns the remaining time until the membership expires.
