Configuration – linking to membership form
1. The module that is included within this extension does not need to be installed. The purpose of the module is to be a replacement for the standard Joomla! login module if required, in order to make the new user registration link to the allMembersRecord new membership form.
Currently the extension will not unregister an account after a membership has expired; it will only show that they are unpaid. This feature will be coming in future version.
To enable this module, head to the Extensions dropdown located at the top of the screen within the Joomla! backend. Select Module Manager (figure 2.12).
