I got to the point where the Infusion dropdown in aMember CP for the product reads "**No access."

I put in my API KEY. From Deborah's previous post, I assumed that my API URL should be...

https://bookupchess.infusionsoft.com:8447/api/xmlrpc

(I'm not sure where the :8447/api/xmlrpc is documented so my assumption was that this works for everyone.)

Any ideas on what to do at this point?

I'm sending this to CGI Central also, of course.

You should call Infusionsoft support and ask them to provide you with your API URL. They will provide you with the URL. The number will be unique. This is the number that you'll submit in the Amember CP --> isoft.

You may have problems to see your infusionsoft tags, in your Amember CP --> Manage Products --> edit. In that case ask CGI to update your ixr.inc.php. That will solve the problem.

Thanks!

I put in a support ticket requesting my API URL.

And if I do have problems seeing the tags, I will ask CGI Central for an improved php file.

Call Infusionsoft support and they will send the API URL and walk you through the rest of it. Just remember that when you enter your URL in amember that it should all be lower case. I've already run into this situation that my tags were not visible in amember until amember support fixed it for me. All they did was change the case of the letters in the url.
Hope that helps

Success! aMember now shows the Infusion tags.

Now I'm wrestling with two issues. First, aMember crashes often with MySQL errors. They're working on it.

Next, I'm missing the big picture of how to offer a membership using Infusion so that the customer gets a "single login" experience with aMember and phpBB3 and PerlDesk (the plugins I have so far).

I want to have all aMember memberships go through Infusion, even the free ones.

Bookup,

What CMS/system are you using for your membership content?

Best,
Bob

I'm using aMember Pro.

OK been hearing mixed things about aMember plugin for Infusionsoft.

I would like to get a few things straight before I go ahead with aMember on a membership site project.

1. If someone signs up and purchases a subscription is it possible to allow them instant access to the site (at correct level of access)? Site will be WP based.

2. What is the shortest time that can be done with the cron job, I see someone says they have the two talk every minute in this thread, while I've heard 20 min to an hour at least elsewhere.

3. If a charge fails in Infusion can this trigger the access in aMember being canceled automatically?

Thank you for any bit of information that can help me answer these questions.

Also if there are better alternatives in membership system I'd like to hear them.

1. Yes. But you'll need amember's wp-plugin.

2. The shortest time is one minute.

3. Yes. This is actually determined in I-soft. You remember how I-soft gives you the possibility to set actions when a transaction is successful and another for when a transaction fails? Basically what you need to do is set a tag (after a successful transaction) for each membership you want to sell. Amember makes access available for I-soft users that have the tag set.

I have set amember up to generate a login name and password and to automatically send that to the new member.

For your information: one of the board members has developed a bridge between WordPress and Infusionsoft. If you are only using WP, this might be an alternative for Amember + plugin. More information at http://www.infusion4wp.com/ .

Great info Hazu, Thanks much.

One quick clarification question, So with the wp plugin I can have instant access at the right level, so I'm assuming this is not using the cron job but directly communicating with API?

Thanks again for the great info and the tip about the infusion4WP. I think we really would like the flexibility of aMember though assuming it can actually give us the instant user access.
