Managing Memberships

The 3 memberships that come with Dolphin by default: non-member, standard member and promotional member are greyed out from being disabled. I don't want them to show up as available memberships. Also, I am not seeing the membership level options on the join page. What could be wrong?

those membership levels are not purchasable by members and will only be seen if that user has that membership type. They are setup to not be modified as they are essential to the way Dolphin runs.

The promotional membership will not be activated unless you do so.

A non-member is basically the same as a viewer who is not logged in.

And the standard is the default membership when someone hasnt paid their membership fees. As well as the default membership a user gets before being allowed to upgrade.

As it stands right now, I do not believe there is a default way for us to setup a Dolphin site that will require payment of/selection of a membership level other than standard upon signup. There may be modules, but I do not know.

in order to create custom memberships that a user can purchase, you must install the Memberships and Payments modules. Unfortunately, even if you setup a membership that was free, it still goes through the whole checkout and payment process.

Thanks for the reply. I have the memberships and payment module installed already. I understand that the standard membership is the default and I have modified the actions to what I want standard members to have. I have created 3 new membership levels and defined the actions as well as setup a price and enabled.

It's just not showing up on the join page. Very strange but still looking into it.

Did you check "Disable Free Join" under Admin Panel > Settings > Advanced Settings > Profiles?

You might want to edit the templates after checking that box: https://github.com/boonex/dolphin.pro/issues/42

 I don't see this in 7.1.6

Sorry, I assumed this was 7.2, as pay-to-join was only just added. You'll need to use a third-party mod or module for 7.1.

Good news is, those two bugs don't apply to you.

Ah, thanks. I was wondering what was going on. Was driving myself nuts. I have been using Dolphin for a few years now but always as a free site. I am working on a new project that will require membership. Guess I can install 7.2 and go from there.

Thanks again for the insight.

 The membership levels do not show on the join page. the only way - by default - that a user can purchase/upgrade their membership is to first create an account - which will be a standard member - and then upgrade to/purchase whatever membership they want.
