Members Area Management Software - Whats Good?
 

I have only played around with MAS from Mansion and it looks great. But I am curious to what other software is available.

If you have any suggestions, please post them and post some of the pros and cons about it.

Thanks in advance.

I use XTract and have loved it since I was able to figure out how to use it properly.

Inexpensive, all the features that the big guys have and you can get the source code.

See sig.

we are using carma for an upcoming program. Its great, however you must learn Smarty PHP which is a bitch to learn, but easy once you get the hang of it.

www.toomuchmedia.com has it listed on their site.

aMember is good

Looks pretty good. Does it have any kind of blog feature or diary entry feature?

notepad.exe

You bet it does. You can set it up to do one or multiple on each site, all independant from each other.

Someone mentioned CARMA and SMARTY, XTract works the same way. The new SMARTY templates system rocks and adds a lot more to package.

The only thing lacking is the setup documentation, but the owner of the script is a tremendous help and docs will be included with the new version that's about to be released. I'm already using the updated code and the script continues to get better.

Well worth the price.

Very cool ... going to demo it tonight. Thanks for the input.:thumbsup

give sitedepth.com a try man, you won't be let down :)

This looks good as well.

Here's the next question. Which of these has the best support? Each one works in its own way, so which has the best documentation so one can learn how to use it?

Sitedepth is good, and good support as well

Stick with MAS, I spent a lot of time looking around and nothing really, in my mind came close.

Great functionality, easy to template and very efficient to add, organize and maintain content.
