Members
Members is optional: turn it on under Settings > Members. Members have an account on the site and a membership level. With it you can make pages for members only, show parts of a page to members only, and give members their own ticket prices or tickets of their own.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”Under Settings > Members:
- Levels: the kinds of membership (Individual, Business, Patron…). Pages, blocks and ticket prices can be for some levels; none chosen means any level.
- Sign-ups: Admins add members (no sign-up form), Sign up, then approved (visitors create an account and wait for an admin) or Sign up and join (they’re members at once), and the level sign-ups get. The site’s admin address is emailed about each sign-up.
- Message for visitors who can’t see something (default “This is for members.”).
Members sign in, sign up and reset their password at /account/. Make a page with that address to
design it yourself, with the Member account block on it. The links in members’ emails go there,
so Supabase Auth’s redirect URLs must include https://<your-domain>/account/** (see
Hosting).
Managing members
Section titled “Managing members”Members in the admin (admins only) lists everyone with a membership, with tabs by status (waiting for approval, active, expired, suspended) and a search. For each: name, level, status, expiry date (empty: never) and notes, saved with Save; Approve for sign-ups; Resend invitation (invited, no password set yet); Send password link; and Remove, which ends the membership and deletes the account unless the person also edits the site. Add a member makes an existing account a member, or invites a new address to set a password.
A membership counts while it is active and not past its expiry date.
Members-only pages
Section titled “Members-only pages”In a page’s settings (the editor’s sidebar), Members > Members only, and optionally the levels. It applies when the page is published. Everyone else sees the page’s title, excerpt and featured image with a sign-in link in place of its content, and it’s left out of lists, search and emails for them. Its content is never sent to anyone else: the site checks who is looking before it reads it, and the database API is closed to everyone but editors, so it can’t be read any other way.
Members only block
Section titled “Members only block”The Members only block (the Members group in the block list) holds other blocks. Members of its levels (and editors) see them; everyone else sees a message and a sign-in link, or nothing. The rest of the page stays public.
Its contents are as safe as a members-only page’s: the database API answers editors only, so the page’s stored content can’t be read around the block.
The Member sign-in link block is a “Sign in” link to the account page that reads “My account” for signed-in visitors, for a header or menu.
Member ticket prices
Section titled “Member ticket prices”In an event’s ticket types (its settings, Tickets), each type can have a price per level (empty: the regular price) and be Members only (optionally for some levels). Signed-in members see and pay their price; everyone else sees the regular price, what members pay and a sign-in link, and members-only types marked as such. The checkout charges by the buyer’s membership, whatever the form showed, and the order records the member.
Pages and caching
Section titled “Pages and caching”Pages are normally cached and shared by every visitor. A page whose content depends on who is looking (a members-only page, a Members only or Member account block, tickets with member prices) isn’t cached, and is rendered for each signed-in visitor as they may see it. Other pages stay cached.
Members aren’t synced between copies of the site or kept in backups; the levels and settings are.
Members and Mailing
Section titled “Members and Mailing”With Mailing on, choose Lists offered to members under Settings > Mailing Lists. Member sign-up then offers them (unticked; ticking it sends a confirmation email like any sign-up), and the account page shows the member’s lists to change. Campaigns and digests can go to only members (of some levels) or only people who aren’t members, matched by email address, and Add members to a list on the Mailing Lists screen’s Subscribers tab puts active members on a list when they agreed to it.
