I would like to have a Video Club website and some of the videos, which are managed by hwdVideoShare, are for members only. How can I achieve that?
What you need to achieve this:
1. Membership Control component - GBP 59.00.
2. hwdVideoShare - Membership Control Addon -- Free
Membership Control verssion 4.0 can be downloaded from here: Download
hwdVideoShare- Membership Control Addon can be downloaded from here: Download.
- We are going to use one of our users' website (a Golf membership website) to show this example.
- After you install the Membership Control component by following this instruction, please install the hwdVideoShareAddon by going to Joomla Backend --> Components --> Open Source MSC --> Addon Management --> Browse --> browse the "MSC_Addon/hwdvideoshare.zip" in your hwdVideoShare Addon Zip package.
- You will then see the following screen when you install it successfully
- After that, you will need to install the updater component. Please go to Joomla Backend --> Extensions --> Install / Uninstall --> Browse the Updater component (Patch Pack\Updater\com_updater_ddmmyy.zip) in your Membership Control zip pack.
- After installing the Updater component, please go to Joomla Backend --> Components --> Updater --> Browse the file "hwdVideoShare_Update_Pack\hwdvideo.zip" in your hwdVideoShare Addon zip Package.
- You will see the following page, please select the package and click the upgrade button.
- Once installed successfully, please go to Components --> Open Source MSC --> Click the "Configuration" link of one of your membership, you will see the hwdVideoShare Categories Management available for configurations:
- After clicking into the hwdVideoShare Categories Management link, you will see all hwdVideoShare categories which you have created in the hwdVideoShare component. Please select the categories you would like to control and click the save button on your top right corner:
- Make sure that you have selected at least one member in the Configurations --> Joomla Access Control --> Members section.
- Let's go to the frontend and see how it works
- Now access to your login page by entering this link: www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=layout. Please login as a user that is not in the membership/group.In our case, we login as the "test" user.
- After logging into the website, please go to hwdVideoShare component from frontend by entering this link: www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_hwdvideoshare&task=frontpage.
- Try to click the video listed under the categories that you have controlled. In our example, we have controlled the Drills and Practice category and we will try to click the video under this category:
- After you click the link to the video, you will be redirected to the Membership Subscription page:
- Now, in order let the user "test" to be able to watch videos in the categories in the "Drills and Practice" category, please go to Membership Management --> Configurations --> Click the Member quicklink, add the user "test" to the membership.
- Now the user will be able to watch videos in the controlled video categories from hwdVideoShare in the frontend.
That's it!
