Turn Joomla 1.5 Websites into Membership Websites using free components.
For webmasters on a budget Joomla has already proven a very powerful tool. With easy installation through fantastico, an unofficial estimate of Joomla websites is around 5.000.000.
Simply perform a simple search of the Joomla footer & you will find -
In excess of 5,000,000 sites using Joomla, reassurance enough that it is a tried & proven Content Management System.
As the Joomla Community has grown so has the number of free modules available for it. Users can use the script as is, or install additional components to add specific features enhancing their website.
Now you have the ability to create fully functional membership sites using free Joomla components.
But which extensions do you use, & how do you configure them to work with payment processors etc. to turn Joomla into a fully functional e-commerce membership site?
Before you can start you need Joomla 1.5 installed on your web server. Using your browser enter www.yourwebsite.com/cpanel. Sign in & find the fantastico icon.
On the left of the page you will see a list of applications that can be auto installed with fantastico, find Joomla 1.5 & simply follow the step by step instructions.
Next download the Account Expiration Control, Component / Module & Plugin's once downloaded & unzipped the file will include everything you need for your Joomla membership site.

* Upload & install A.E.C Component ( Extensions Install / Uninstall)
* In Sequence upload & install the plugins - AEC Access, AEC Error, AEC Routing & AEC User
