WP-Members Forum Now Available

December 3, 2007 | Filed Under WP-Members | Leave a Comment

To assist in the support of the WP-Members plugin, I have added a support forum at http://butlerblog.com/wp-members/forums/.

This forum is linked up with the demo version of WP-Members that is running on this site.Â That was one of the key reasons I did the major rebuild of the plugin to begin with - to tie in to other apps/plugins that utilize the users table in the WP database.Â Since the demo version of the plugin and the forum are linked, I removed most of the default required fields in the registration.Â You can register here and be able to use the forum (if you want to edit your info, or add additional information like AIM, you can do at the same link once you’ve logged in).

Two of my favorite words - free & clipart (and retro, but that would be three words - actually, clipart could be two words, which would make it four of my fav… oh, never mind.)

WP-Members 2.1.a Alpha Release

December 1, 2007 | Filed Under WP-Members | 1 Comment

I’ve been working on WP-Members in a furious fashion this week/weekend. As I’ve already posted, I did release 2.0.1 that fixed the known bugs in the 2.0 release. Since then, I’ve been working on adding the needed user management in the admin area. This was present in 1.x versions, but since 2.0 changed to using native the WP user table, I needed to completely change the admin features in WP-Members.

This alpha release should be stable. It currently only adds two new functions into the script. These add the extra fields that are used in WP-Members to the WP Edit User page. Now you can view and edit the users that are registered as well as the extra field information.

As a new feature, if the user is logged in, they will be add information for the additional fields that WP has for the user (website, aim, yahoo im, jabber, bio). I’ve commented these in the code so they can be removed if you do not need them. (really, any fields that you do not need can be removed as well if you don’t mind working with php.)

This is not an official release version, so of course use it at your own risk, but I felt it was ready to be made available for public testing. (If you want the stable release, download it here.)
