Description

Need script for website with membership-type of functions. Members will enter through a sign up process.
Membership script allows:
- Everyone initially joins free - this function is basic and only asks for customer name, email address, then automatically sends them an email to the specified address to confirm their free membership
- Once free members log in, these free members must be shown a page which gives them simple instructions to pay a one-time fee (they can also see paid members’ submissions of essay documents or videos, which is explained below prior to paying).
- payment processing should be paypal and possibly one other such as 2checkout.
- At this point, as the free member moves to becoming a paid member, more personal information should be gathered from the customer such as their home address and contact phone numbers - so they fill out another form at time of payment.
- We should show our “terms” at this point of payment, which customer must agree to.
- Paid members log into a backoffice only available to paid members. Here, they should be able to either submit a doc. or upload short (3-min) video
- The submitted doc. or uploaded video would come to us or we would be notified of it, and we would be able to track which member submitted it. Only paid members are allowed this function in the backoffice. This should be simple for the member like uploading a video to youtube.
- Paid members that submit a doc. Or video should then be able to choose an option to either make it visible all members (free and paid), or keep it hidden from view of other members.
Admin:
- We would need the ability to email free members, paid members, or all members.
- Pages that are visible to paid members, free members, or all members must be able to be manipulated by us. Template design must be able to be manipulated by us, where we can add header and footer, background, etc. to match the rest of our website, or we design the site and the script is then installed to our design somehow.
- We should be able to see a list or database of all members, and whether they are still “free” members or have paid, and be able to see any video or document they’ve submitted (as paid members).
- Any video or document submitted by a paid member must come through us for approval before posting “live” to other members for viewing.
Not sure if we need a “membership” script, or more like a “myspace” or “youtube” type of script, or a combination of the two.
We purchased a membership script (easymemberpro) which might be able to be manipulated to add some of the essential features we’re missing (such as video and doc upload and viewing). I am not sure if it might be easier to try to manipulate an existing generic script to add essentials we need, or if it’s easier to start over.
