Hello everyone, I am hoping I can get an answer on the direction I should take. I have a client who is an "Association" that charges membership for their members with only two membership types. Along with that membership they get certain benefits, mostly for things like discounts on seminars and things of that nature. The memberships run for one year from date of purchase.
They are currently using an E-commerce system called Ecwid to manage the payments via PayPal. Once they pay, they're a member. I have been challenged with consolidating the membership part. They also require that each member can have a profile page with several different attributes that consumers could search upon. So basically, if I want to find a company within this association that sells widgets, the consumer could perform a search for widgets and find said company.
Having dealt with CB in the past, I immediately thought it could be an option here. My question is, what do I need to get started? Do I need CB for the community profile part and CB Subs to manage the subscription or just CB Subs? I would also like the members to be able to update their own content, which I know CB and Joomla can obviously do but thought I'd throw that out there as another requirement.
