Does anybody know if there is any smooth integration between BuddyPress (a social networking plugin for Wordpress) with a membership plugin like aMembers, Magic Members, DAP, etc. (Wordpress plugins that provide Silver/Gold memberships, eCommerce, etc.)?
Would enabling BuddyPress and a membership plugin work smoothly?
Would I need to enable WPMU or just plain Wordpress will work?
Thanks!
EDIT (24 Nov 2010, 26 Nov 2010):
I contacted both aMembers and Magic Members support team regarding this issue.
aMembers say "Buddy Press will work with amember/amprotect, but I haven't found a way
of limiting access to BuddyPress features for members of X level only. If you only have 1 level of membership this may be Ok, or if it's in a walled garden."
Magic Members say "You will need to integrate it Magic Members manually. Buddypress registration process takes over Wordpress' original registration form and Magic Members uses Wordpress' registration form which is causing a conflict. In order to avoid that we have a shortcode called [[register]]. If you put that in any of your pages the registration form will appear."
You don't need wordpress mu (now called multisite or referred to as a network) unless you want the user to have blogs.
Also, this membership plugin works with BuddyPress:

I am helping out a friend and rebuilding her dance business site.
Requirements:
- site owner friendly CMS for updates
- Prefer a free cms
- main site and a few pages will be for new/potential clients
- members only section where she can post updates instead of having to email a news letter.
- an additional page or 2 exclusive to members where videos can be posted for at home practice
I am thinking wordpress may be a great option for this. Any tutorials out there to help with the initial build of a member only section? I want to make sure I lock down the member section properly.
I am hoping to also generate an email each time a post is made in the members only section. Also use categories in the members only section to generate emails to members with corresponding tags that an update was made.
Is this attainable?
I am open to other CMS platforms but they must be responsive, free, and easy for the site owner to update.
Go for wordpress. As you are a starter use subscription / membership plugin to manage the member setting that you desire, and for email you can use newsletter plugins (both free adn paid) . Hope this helps :)
And for the final question : no wordpress is the easiest one out there
I am going to make a website which there is 3 type of users.
Admin
- can CRUD posts
Teacher
- can CRUD own posts in their's own pages.
Student
- can Read posts, comment, ...
I know how to do this in PHP, but I need to implement this website with Wordpress OR Joomla.
Can Wordpress/Joomla provide my needs or I have to install extra plugins.
If I need plugins, would you please tell me plugin's names.
You could do that with Joomla default features.
Super Administrator would have full access to administrator panel and all articles.
Then you have to create Authors that could have access to their own articles (this is the full list of privileges in Joomla).
As for students you have to find a comments extension.
Good Luck!
I'm looking to create a membership-basee website and I'm new to Wordpress so its been a headache trying to look for free plugins that can
creates 3 levels of membership (non-members, members, and premium members)
limit access to certain pages/functionality of the site to members/premium members
Also can't find a good plugin for customizable registration form
Take a look at Paid Memberships Pro, which is 100% open source, and available in the WordPress repository:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/
Here is some code to use hooks in the plugin to add fields to checkout page. It takes a bit of php skill and programming:

Good luck.
If you are trying to create a membership website with WordPress, the memberpress plugin is what you should know about. It allows you to restrict certain areas and even add membership tiers for your WordPress website. it is one of the best plugins available for membership websites, you can check out the memberpress website from this link

I have a website built in WordPress 3.3.1. My site have two types of roles lets say jobseeker and employers. Now I have installed buddypress social networking plugin and activated the registration process. Now I need two separate link for jobseeker and employers through which users can get registered as per their roles in buddypress and as well as in wordpress.
Many Thanks To Anyone That Helps,
Buddypress User Account type just updated.. which allows to assign different role to different account type
There's nothing out there that will do exactly what you're looking for, however there is a new plugin that may get you going in the right direction. It's called Buddypress User Account Types and can be found at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/installation/
I have a website that I want to setup so that users can register for the site but the administrator of the site will have the final say on whether or not they can be a member of the site or not.
I am running Wordpress 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.5, buddypress is used to register the user, so I assume it will need to be a buddypress plugin that is used to allow or deny the user. I have searched and searched and cannot come up with any plugin that replicates this functionality. Are there any out there, or anything that gives a similar experience?

Here is a BP component for Allow / Deny User:
http://webdevstudios.com/support/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-registration-options/
The description:
A WordPress BuddyPress plugin that allows for new member moderation, if moderation is turned on from the admin settings page, any new members will be blocked from interacting with any buddypress elements (except editing their own profile and uploading their avatar) and will not be listed in any directory until an administrator approves or denies their account.
I have just completed a thorough research exercise on this, with the same requirement in mind. The sad truth of the matter is that most of the plugins that supposedly give you this functionality do not work fully and properly. I tried a number of plugins including:
Buddypress Registration Options
Absolute Privacy
Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin
BuddyPress Private Community
All of these failed to give me bulletproof security. They largely seemed to block standard WordPress pages, but didn't block public access to the Activity, Members, Groups and other sections. Other issues were simply getting it to work with WP 3.0.1. I found I had to dig into the plugin code and hack it to get a decent result.
Finally, I settled on a plugin called "registered-users-only-2". This totally blocks users who are not registered. However, it doesn't give you moderation functionality.
I hope this helps your quest.
