Member Passwords

Member passwords are encrypted providing additional security. This also means it is impossible to find out what a members password is. You can easily login to any member's account from the member's page by clicking the login button without needing to know the member's password.

Resetting the Password

If a member forgets their password the only option is to reset their password giving them a new password.

Members - Members can reset their password themselves using the forgotten password page (linked from the login page).
Admin - The admin can reset a members password from the members page (your-domain.com/admin/members). After clicking the view icon and a popup appears with an option to reset the password by providing a new password.

Failed Logins

If a member tries to login unsuccessfully 7 times in a row their account becomes locked. Locked accounts are automatically unlocked each night. Also, on the members page after clicking the view icon there is a link you can click to unlock the member's account.

Member Profile, Settings and Notifications

There are 3 separate pages where members can edit their personal info and settings. The profile page and settings page are very similar and nearly all the items on the 2 pages are interchangable between each other and can be combined into one page if preferred. your-domain.com/admin/profile
The profile page is where a member can edit their personl information such as their name, address, and avatar (profile image).

your-domain.com/admin/settings
your-domain.com/admin/notifications
The notifications page is specifically for members to select what types of notifications they want to receive such as email and sms new contact notifications.

Members Area Pages

Members area pages are any of the pages that exist in the admin folder. Every viewable members area page has an html template file for it in the /adminpages folder. Most members area pages require a member to be logged in to see it, however, there are a few members area pages, like the join, order, contact us and login page that can be seen without being logged in.

Member Variables

Member variables allow you to create your own fields for members to enter their data. For example, you can create a member variable for members to enter their Facebook username or PayPal email. Members variables can be used throughout the system allowing you to show a member their referrer's (parent's) value on any page or email sent. For example you can make a link to the referrer's (parent's) Facebook page or business opportunity signup page. Learn more about member variables.
