******************************
If
you wish to use paypal's IPN system then set your passback url at
paypal as
http://www.yourdomain.com/msm/paypal/ipn.php
Advanced
users may install this script in the server root
by not uploading the whole msm folder in one shot but
instead uploading just the files in the msm folder into
the root or any other directory you wish.
Important
Note-
This script is not an
instant membership site- this is just the gate keeper that accepts the payments for your content
that you place in the "members" folder, and automatically sets up the
member accounts.
It
will allow your members to sign up, it will then ask them to make
payment through PayPal. The system will then activate their
account and send them login information.
Should
their account ever go behind in payment it will deactivate their user
status, you can also change this in the manager area as well.
You
will need to build your home page that sells your member site, and then
add your signup link to that home page order link which will be http://www.yourdomain.com/msm/registration/index.php
You
will also need to add a link to allow your members to login to your
members area content that you have placed into the "members" folder.
Give them access to this by adding the members login link to your home
page which will be http://www.yourdomain.com/msm/members/
Again
this script is just the gate keeper, you need to build out your member
site and user the links given above in the "URLs You Need To Use The
Paypal Member Script:" section to customize your site and integrate
your site with this member manager script."
