I need a membership site that does these things...

Dayne Dylan · 08-21-2008, 02:39 PM

Warriors,

I'm thinking of staring a paid membership website in the self improvement field. What I would like is for this site to have places for articles, reports, audio/video, forum/message board and most of all, individual member pages (like Myspace or similiar) that are easy to create for members. This would make it more of a community.

Any recommendations of what program or service to use for this?

Thanks!

Joomla is a great option ...

it is free but extremely well supported. It gives you great publishing capabilities just like you want and more. You can also get a free plugin that adds membership functionality.

Good luck

You could use any membership site script to protect a folder and then install some social networking software within the membership area?

All the best

This is a new piece of software that my friend developed with his partner.

I think it may have all the elements that you are looking for.

Joomla is a CMS, Drupal is a CMS for community applications. That may be more of what you want.

I agree joomla is an excellent option. I use it for a membership site. Have all the features yo mentioned.

I don't get this whole joomla thing. What's it all about?

Tina M. Rideout · 08-27-2008, 09:27 AM

It is a great Content Management System.

I just started using Joomla, as I had made a similar post regarding either Joomla or Drupal.

In a short couple of hours I had the basic concept set up, now all I need to do is add more extensions, which they have many, and add content.

As I am not that good at php, it was a snap to get up and running.

I am going to be using it as a local business directory that offers membership for listings, websites, etc.

Check out Dolphin :: Smart Community Builder :: Free Software
It's free

hilmymo · 10-30-2008, 09:24 PM

Here is where Dolphin shines esp. if you want minimal setup chores. You mentioned paid membership but missed to list payment processor

. Dolphin takes care of that too.

You're free to define membership types-free,standard,premium etc. Customize the page layout, menu, fields, images and lots more.

I have a few sites under development myself. So give Dolphin a look.
