I tried to use the extension Akeeba Subscription, but the front end sign up form needs to be on Portuguese language and everything is very complicated. I have checked your recommendation on "Payplans" but I am not sure if they do provide this option in Joom 2.5.

Thank you

Hi Kriss,

Welcome to OSTraining. I think we can guide you through this, but I have a few questions for you so I can help you better.

When you tried Akeeba subscription, was it working for you except that the language wasn't correct for you? Or did it not meet your needs at all?

We are using a paid subscription service that has monthly fees called Recurly. It sounds like you don't need anything with fees, but let us know if that's what you want.

Payplans does make a 2.5 version, that's the one we wrote about.
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/payplans/

There are about 50 subscription/registration plugins for Joomla 2.5 which you can review here extensions.joomla.org/search?q=membership&t%5B%5D=3808 Review these and see if one fits.

I am just not sure you if you are asking about a plugin with specific features or it's just an issue with translation to Portugese?

Give us a little more clarification and I'll try to help you narrow down your choices.

Cheers,
Ed

Try taking a look at our language tutorials. I think you might be able to get what you want from Akeeba if you can solve the translation issue. No matter which one you get you'll still need to translate.

The affiliate options my be a different issue. I'll have to look at Akeeba to see if they have an affiliate features.

In the meantime, Check out these tutorials.

You'll need to know how to change language strings to change the labels on the registration form.

Hi and welcome, Kriss!

You're welcome! We're glad you got the first part sorted!

What in particular are you confused about assigned categories, restricted content, and group users? Are you confused on the Joomla side of things or the Akeeba Subscriptions side of things?

Have you checked out Akeeba Subscriptions' documentation?
www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-subscriptions.html

Steps to using Akeeba Subscriptions:

1) Basically, the first thing you should do when you install Akeeba Subscriptions is configure the global options (top right within the Akeeba Subscriptions dashboard). Set up your currency and your front-end display options.

2) Next, set up a subscription level from the "Subscription Levels" area. Do this for as many subscription levels as you need.

3) Go to plugin manager and search for "Akeeba Subscriptions Payment - Paypal" and configure all your merchant information on the right side.

4) Finally, create the menu item. Go to your menu in menu manager and create a new menu item. Set its type to Akeeba Subscriptions >> All Levels (Awesome layout).

That's it! :)

Let us know if you have any questions or get stuck at any part.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Kris,

Can we take a step back and approach one thing at a time? Let's open up a new forum topic for each new issue and cover #1 and #2 in this forum post.

Akeeba Subscriptions does have its own "Content - Akeeba Subscriptions Restricted" plugin, but it can only do so much and won't be able to accomplish what you're trying to do effectively. Here's its description:
It's best to use an extension like Extranet so that each client has their own client area:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...nt-restriction/12685

Kind regards,
Nick

Thanks Nick,
You are right J!Extranet by Beesto will be a better solution for what I am trying to achieve.
However they do not have a sign in Paid option and Portuguese Translation for the front end.

Would you recommend any other similar good Joom extension or suggest a step by step process to integrate the first missing step with J!Extranet - the payment for the Membership.

Thank you.

Hi Kris,

I was thinking that you could use it in combination with Akeeba Subscriptions, so that solves the pay issue.

As to Portuguese, you could translate it yourself :) Each extension comes with language bits and all you have to do is translate the right side into Portuguese. It's fairly straight-forward.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Kris,

You're welcome!

IE's working for me fine. Looks like the fields have to be filled in order. otherwise if you're missing something above, some of the select box that have been filled below show as not being filled.

Please open up a the chat extension recommendation in a new forum topic and I'll reply there :)

Kind regards,
Nick
