Hello again everyone,

 

Thanks for the feedback on the site, and don't worry I didn't create it from

total scratch! Wish I were that skilled... Joomla is a wonderful program that

makes setting up feature filled websites much easier ;)

 

Anyway, there have been concerns about the privacy of the site since people may

put posts from KAS on there. Here is a link

http://help.joomla.org/content/view/476/153/ with information about user

registration etc. that can be done. The gist of it is that any content posted

on that site can have the access level restricted to registered users. This

will then be up to the editors to make sure that pages are tagged appropriately,

but it is totally feasible! It is also possible to restrict anything that is

under a link in the main menu. If we create a section " user posts " and then

have subcategories we can just restrict access to " user posts " and by default

everything " inside " will be restricted as well. This way anyone can come to the

site and view things like the safeties, yoga exercises, etc.

 

The tricky part here then becomes how to handle user registration. Usually

anyone with an email address can register and then have access to the site.

Chrism, do you want to have someone " activate " accounts so that not just anyone

can register and view the archives? And please don't ask about migrating user

accounts from , that is something MUCH more difficult that requires

database programming or quite a few hours having someone manually type in all

the user names and emails.

 

I hope all of that sounds like it will work out.
