I'm a new paid "want-a-be" developer using 7.1
I have seen these same or at least very similar questions asked as far back as 1255 Days ago. The root of the questions seems to always get morphed into some other issue or as one user said... the post was "hijacked." lol
These two questions are at the heart of my current issues. I can't seem to find a definitive answer (ok... or at least one that made sense to me):
1) Is there a way to have new members / non members, be forced to select a membership level during the signup process? As in a non member HAS To SELECT one of my four membership types, in order to gain access past the home page?
2) Is there a way prevent a new member from gaining Standard Membership access, by default? It seems counter intuitive to allow them Standard access... when all I might then to have is the "Guest" or "Trial" access.
I have four membership types:
Guest (free for ONLY 24 hours non renewing)
Trial (paid for 7 days non renewing)
Gold (basic access to most features except store creation, Monthly, auto renews)
Biz (basic access to all features including store creation Monthly, auto renews)
I didn't want to have to use the at least two of the default memberships levels at all (Promotional & Standard)
The "non-member" account I suppose if I had to I could use... but I had wanted to call it a "Guest Account" and grant it a one day, limited access pass.
The only way I can even see the memberships that I created, is if I click on the "My Memberships" menu link and it takes me to the (yourwebsite.com /m/membership/index) page... And that is only after I signed up and received the default STANDARD level access... I don't want to give them the default STANDARD at all~!
I have to admit that it is surprising to me that this NOT a new question in these forums... But IT IS One that doesn't seem to have ONE simple, and definitive answer.
Why is that?
