Ive had Tim to help me understand the profile template and how to link it to a page and show a username logged in at top....Ive read around the forum how some use members.php and profile.php to set up certain folders I think but I dont understand because I didnt see a members.php template just a profile.php template...
What Im trying to do is set up 2 member areas where someone may register but but only have access to certain pages on a news website.....but my client wants a form set up to where they send their credit card info by email and she authorizes payment then can move them manually to have full access to everything on the website?

Can you point me an example as to how this could be done?
Also when I used profile.php should I also put it in the config file?

Tim demonstrated in your other thread how to implement such membership content restrictions based on k_access_level with a simple cms:if statement.

As far as Couch is concerned, the profile.php template is not special in regards to member functionality. You don't need to add it to the config file.

Your client's customers deserve better than to have their billing details handled in such a manner. Expanding on what Tim said, you (and the client) should unquestionably be planning to use a payment gateway. Anything else is irresponsible.
