Welcome to Alledia - the Joomla SEO Experts

The first Extension of the Month for 2008 comes with a very strong recommendation ... after all, over the last few months it has become a cornerstone here at Alledia.com.

Account Expiration Component (AEC) from globalnerd.org allows you to offer paid site memberships.

What's Great About AEC

• Its released under the GPL and is free to download.
• Its a very stable, reliable component. We've been using here at Alledia for nearly three months and the whole process from installation to signing people and managing their subscriptions has been almost entirely pain-free.
• It works with numerous payment gateways from PayPal and Authorize.net to 2Checkout and WorldPay.
• It supports free trials and plans, discount coupons and a smooth integration with Community Builder.
  
• Core files are automatically hacked and unhacked making the process very smooth.
  

Examples of sites using it include ninjoomla.com, joomlacssguide.com and of course, alledia.com and globalnerd.org.

Alternative subscription components are all weaker commercial offerings. These include SubscriptionDeluxe, JContentSubscription and Joomlaware (which has died a slow death and really needs to be removed from sale).

AEC Deserves it.
written by Daniel Chapman, January 11, 2008

We have had a couple of issues with AEC at ninjoomla, mainly due to the demands we placed on it being a real test of it's limits, but David was prompt with his support and bug fixes and we got things going again well.

No other subscription manager could do exactly what we wanted, in a clean seamless way like we wanted.

Hats off David and his team, a well deserved award for AEC.

AEC & JContentSubscription
written by Ramebo, January 11, 2008

I'm evaluating both of these components. Can you elaborate a little on why the commercial JContentSubscription is a weaker offering?

Thanks!

Hi Daniel - thanks for posting here about your experiences. The support for AEC really is top-class.

One feature I have found lacking (this actually first occured to me as a member of your site) is an easy upgrade option from one level to another.

Hi Ramebo, I know some people people prefer JContentSubscription but I personally prefer AEC as its free, GPL and very robust. Its a product that we've road-tested successfully on several sites.
