For you interested the latest code is here AEC v. 0.12.6RC2o
Create a account first and you can dl.
Install quick guide instructions from Jake.
Please note the following:
Essentially following the manual is NOT following the manual. I have so many emails coming from people telling me AEC is not working and that they essentially following the AEC-Guide that comes with the installation package.
For AEC to Work properly you must exactly follow the AEC-Guide. In the guide it tells you if you are using Joomla 1.5.X that there are 4 plug-ins you must install.
- aecaccess_plugin_0_4.zip
After installing this one you MUST DISABLE Joomla Authentication plug-in and enable the AEC Authentication (access) plugin. It must be the only authentication (access) type plugin enabled. If you do not follow this procedure, people WILL be able to login without paying.
- aecerror_plugin_0_1.zip
- aecrouting_plugin_0_1.zip
For the above two plugins note, they must come after the LEGACY Plugin. This means look for the system plugins, if the Legacy plugin is order #5 for example in the system plugins, make the above AEC plugins #6 and #7. Then enable these two plugins
- aecuser_plugin_0_3.zip
Enable this plugin. There can be more than one type of User plugin enabled.
Go to Components--> AEC --> AEC Central then click on Settings
- Click on the Authentication Tab
- Make sure Active-Authentication Plugins has Joomla highlighted
- Highlight Joomla again for Active Authorization Plugins
- Click on Save
Then go to the Hacks page and Apply the menu hack (if needed) and any others that show for 3rd party components.
If you are running 1.0.x then you only have a mambot to install and publish other than the component itself. As for the hacks you have a couple of system ones you must apply.
In the AEC Settings, Require subscriptions should be set to YES, Integrate Registration should be set to YES, if you want people to have a valid subscription in order to login.
Now having said this, also please note that if you are not running version 1.5.8 of Joomla for the 1.5 series or 1.0.15 of Joomla for the 1.0 series, you SHOULD UPGRADE. When we develop this component we do so under a premise and theory that people upgrade their core systems to keep them up to date and bug free.
As for CB, yes we recommend that you also upgrade this to version 1.2 RC4. We realize that their upgrade process can be cumbersome, but it SHOULD be done.
Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable
