Today I’ve been working on the website for one of our major projects of the summer. I can’t divulge quite what it is exactly just yet, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks it should be finished and ready to launch.

One of the major parts of the project, was to create a website where users had to create accounts in order to store their own details and settings. This part of the project is now nearing completion, which means I can move onto the site content and functionality … which will hopefully be in the next couple of days.

Ok, so back to the membership script. The user interface is all in place, and once I’ve managed to add the administrative capabilities, it should also act as a stand-alone membership script, which we will no doubt use in the future for other projects.

The current specification for the script is as follows:

• separate public and members content, and allow access accordingly.
• allow users to create their own accounts
  • email address must be validated before the account becomes active
• link to an aWeber contact list
• reporting for suspicious activity and log in errors
  • browser deleting cookies
  • incorrect username
  • incorrect password
  • locked/inactive account
• admistrators can lock accounts
• full affiliate tracking and reporting

This is obviously just the very start of the script, and over time it will evolve to incorporate other features, but for the time being, this is the very minimum we need to get the project off the ground.

Once the administration side of the script is completed, I will think about releasing it for people to look at and use … let me know if you’d be interested.
