The idea behind this module is to control all the member accounts on your site. Member accounts are used for posting
things to your site, ordering products from your shop, accessing protected areas, etc. Click on "Members Administration"
in the "Admin Suite" and you will be directed to the window shown below.
The first option in "Members Administration" is "Member Administration", which will take you to the window shown below.
Member Administration
The first option in this window is labeled "Per page" and lets you specify the number of members shown per page. Next is
a list of members. The "ID" column gives an integer member ID number. "Member Name" is the name of the member. "Email" is
the e-mail address that the member uses to login to the site and "Password" is the password for this login. "Date Created"
is the date on which the member account was made. "Last Login" shows the date on which the member last logged in. The status
of a member account is indicated by a highlighted checkmark  if it is approved, a highlighted
x-mark  if it is rejected and a highlighted question mark  if it is pending. To switch between the
three states you can click on one of the darkened two buttons. Keep in mind that a member account must be approved for that
member to login to your site.
The last column has some rows that have a link "List Cards". If you click on one of these links you will be taken to the
window shown below.
This window shows you a list of all credit cards associated with the selected member account. From here you can edit the
card numbers/expiry dates and delete certain cards from the list. When you are done editing this members cards you can
click on "Administrate Members" if you want to keep editing member accounts or on "Members Suite".

Member Signup" and type the e-mail address that you want the notification sent to in the text box below that. When you have
finished entering the e-mail address, don't forget to click "Submit"!!!! The next option is "Notify New Members of
Account Approval", which if selected will send an e-mail to the member once you have approved there account. This will not
occur if "Auto Approve Members" is selected. If you are sending an e-mail notification, you can use the next two text boxes
to specify the subject and body of the e-mail that is sent to the member. Don't forget to click "Submit" after editing
each of the two text boxes.

on the appropriate "Edit" button, which will take you to the window shown below.
The two options (page name and title image) are for naming your page and you should choose one of them.
If you prefer to have an image for the title instead of the text for the page, you can click on the "Browse"
button and choose an image from your hard drive.
Note that a title image replaces the "Page Name" in the page content, but not on the window title.
Next you need to type your "Meta tags".

Finally, if you are familiar with HTML you can select "Yes" for the "Allow HTML" option. This allows you

text will be properly formatted.
