OK, here’s a small project I begun.

From reading various posts about adding custom headers to MemberGate I embarked on adding a custom mytop file to a site I work with.

Now tread carefully if you want to try this, it’s not for the faint hearted.  One small error can cause problems that will appear on every page of your site.  Also this is something I’m still monitoring and have picked up a couple of errors already, ouch!

This is just another great feature that MemberGate has to offer.  It’s best used for adding custom graphics to your top header or even displaying a custom header image for your members.

So would like to see the final finish?

Here’s the image of the custom header I put in place.

To view the live header got to myGenie.tv

I still have a few days work here tweaking the design as the current stylesheet used is effecting all the MemberGate styles, so before you email me I already know it’s messy.

I found a few issues with IE7 not displaying the drop down menus correctly and after days of troubleshooting I gave up.  I couldn’t work out why IE7 didn’t work but IE8 did work.

This drop down is best viewed in Firefox (FF).

If you are interested in adding your own custom mytop file then be warned, you are on your own….. or employ someone you can blame if it all goes wrong.

NOTE:

MemberGate Support will NOT add a custom mytop.cfm file for you as this will exclude your site from future updates.  The reason being that any updates they apply later will overwrite your custom files.

Anyway I thought it would be good to show you what can be done if you are prepared to sit down and give it a go.

Feel free to comment if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to get back to you a.s.a.p

MemberGate have just launched a new support service where users are required to submit tickets to help deal with any troubleshooting issues or just general questions for support and sales.

The new support site has been running for about a week with some good feedback coming in.

The excellent feature of the new support system is the advance Ajax Knowledgebase which provides an instant index of result based on the questions you type, go and try it out! You can get instant answers to some of the most technical questions just by typing a keyword.

Tim Kerber has produced a small video tutorial showing how to use the site and as more questions come in the support team will continuously add new articles to the KB.

I would love to hear your feedback on the new support system and if there’s any suggestions you have post them below.
