Setup pricing structure
|
This is what you work for: To charge members to see your works. So the first thing after installation would be to setup how much to charge your members for some period of time. This is a requirement. As soon as you login to the admin control panel, you will be taken directly to this page to setup your pricing structure. Without this one properly setup, your members will not be creditted the amount of time they ought to have.
Click on the "protected directory" and you will given several choices to make
-
Setup pricing structure
-
Add additional protected directory
-
Setup instant credit card processors.
|
| Setup pricing structure |
| Click on the "Add New Account" will take you to the page where you can setup how much you want to charge your members. |
| Account name |
This is the name of your htaccess realm. It will be displayed on the popup windows |
| Account description |
Well, this is useless for now... |
| Trial periods |
If you plan to give trial access to your members, then you can set how much you charge and for many days.
If you do not want to offer trial access, please set the trial amount to "0.00" and the trial period to "0".
Unless you are using paypal, you have to setup the same thing with your Creditors (such as iBill)
Note: if you only wish to charge a onetime membership fee, then you can set up your onetime charge in the trial periods, and set the recurring cycle price to be $0.00. |
| Rebilling cycle |
This is the normal recycling period. Remember, iBill only offers recurring cycle up to 30 days only, but Paypal offers recurring period up to 5 years... So consider what your Gateway to use and choose the cycle right.
If you do not charge members, please set the recurring amount to "0.00" and the recurring period to "0". |
| New member activation |
Skip this step unless you are charging members.
We offer three new member activation method:
- Instant: Your members are instantly approved for access without even checking to see if his email is valid (althought we do a general email checking technique, but it can be faked)
- Sendmail: members are required to validate their email by clicking on a link we send out with a random passcode. If they do not click on this link, their accounts are remained pending.
- pending: new members applications are pending for admin approval. YOU must approve the account manually.

| Protected directory |
This is the main protected directory that members will be taken to when they login. You can setup additional protected directories later though. Please enter the absolute server path of the directory that you want to be protected
such as "/home/yourname/public_html/myprotectedfolder" . Make sure this folder is already created in your webspace and has 777 permissions. |
| Password file location |
This should be the server path to the file that stores the usernames and passwords, ideally this is placed off your webspace for increased security, but if you do not have the option to access folders off the webspace you can
put it somewhere in your webspace as hidden file. Putting a "." in front of the filename will hide a file on most unix/linux servers like ".htpasswd". Give the server path to the file and filename such as:
"/home/yourname/public_html/myprotectedfolder/.htpasswd" (in this case the password file is stored as hidden file in the same folder as the protection is but this is not necessary, it can also be placed off the webspace such as:
"/home/yourname/passfolder/.whateverpasswordfilename" for increased security if you have this option. |
| Email notification |
If you want an email notification when new members signup, please enter your email here.
If you do not want any notifications, then please leave this field empty. |
| Instant credit processing |
If you have multple gateways to use and you want members to have an option to select them, then please select nothing from this field.
If you want
to take members directly to the payment page of a given gateway, then please select the one you want to use here. |
| Overwrite |
If you protected directory was already have a .htaccess file, then we will not overwrite it unless you check this box. Please understand that if you check this box, then your old program(s) will not work. |

|
| Add additional protected directories |
|
To add additional protected directories, click on "Add protected directories"
From this page, you will see every directories that are password protected. You can add new or delete existing directories from here.
To add a new password directory, click on the "add new" link, enter the full server path and hit submit. If the directory given does not exist, we will try to create it. However, if it gives an error then we failed to create it ourself. You may need to create the directory manually using FTP.
To delete a directory from protection, click on the 'unProtected' link. It only remove the .htaccess file from the directory but will not delete the directory. If you want to delete the directory as well as protection, you will need to do that manually using telnet or FTP.
