Hi,

I've added a membership option to http://www.atlas.sa.gov.au/ (top
right-hand side)
 
The process I followed was:
 
1. extent the profile class too add the other items I needed
2. created a custom login page (not really required but I did it to added
some custom functionality and maintain the site look-n-feel) [FarCry changes
like http://bugs.farcrycms.org:8080/browse/FC-119 will make this an easier
process]
3. created a custom 'Manage Membership' dmInclude template (this started
life as a copy of the core's edit profile page then was heavily edited - it
now handles the create and updating of the profile
4. created an 'Update Password' dmInclude template (again this started out
as a copy of the core's)
5. Finally, I secured the appropriate sections of the site tree to the
required group (new members are automatically added to the 'members' group).

(I'm currently (nearly ready) to roll out a 'remember me' style auto login
function then will started work on a 'Forgot Password' retrieval function:
this will be hampered without an usable external mailserver at our end).

If you have any other questions feel free to drop me a line.

Cheers

David

Subject: [farcry-dev] adding membership to site


Has anyone had any luck adding "membership" to a Far-Cry managed site? I've
got FC up and running and handling all my content as it is published by the
people with admin access to do so. 

I want to add a "membership" to the site - where a surfer can come to the
portal page and "subscribe" to the complete site, gaining access to all of
the articles and items we have. That surfer (now a "member") would have the
ability to edit his or her "account" information, and do things like chose
favorites or chose to recieve newsletters.... 

or is this all something I'm going to have to program on my own to extent
FarCry?
