When you purchase MiBaseNZ Toy Library Management System to manage your toy library, you will also have access to a new Member Website. As you can see from the image below it will include information such as your toy list, a toy wishlist, transactions and the roster which will all be visible to your members.

The Member Website is part of MiBaseNZ with NO additional cost. You can choose some pages/modules you would like to appear simply by activating or deactivating them.

The Home Page schema is described in the image below.

(1) Top Menu

Located at the top of every page of the Member Website, this bar-shaped menu lists the modules/pages that can be accessed by your members. Some of these pages are automatic whereas others will need to be activated.

To activate these pages read the article Settings for Top Menu Items.

The font and background colour of the top menu will be the same as your Public Website. If you would like to make any changes, read the article Design your Public & Member Website.

(2) Toy Library Name:

To add your toy library name go to Setup -> Administration, search for the setting libraryname, click Edit and type in your name. Click Save.

(3) Member introduction:

In this section, you can add whatever content you think is relevant for your members to know about your toy library such as what they can and cannot do. You could also mention certain functions they can use on the website. Remember this is the very first page members will see when they log in.

To add this content, go to Setup -> Edit website and add under the Members Home Page section.
Read the article Edit your Public Website for further information.

(4) Member Alert:

For this alert box to appear on the home page of a members website, it will need to be activated. To do this go to Setup -> Members, search for the setting mem_alert, click Edit and change the setting to Yes. Click Save.

The alert can be added on the admin website under the Member Detail page in the Edit mode or on the Loan page in the Member Alerts box.

(5) Member Details:

Once the information has been inserted in the Member Detail page, it automatically appears here. You have the option of providing members with an Edit button to allow them to update their details if need be. To add this button go to Setup -> Members, search for the setting mem_edit, click Edit and change the setting to Yes. Click Save.

The information under Duties is only relevant to Duty members and will list the number of hours they are required to do according to the membership and how many hours they are to complete. This automatically updates if the duties have been recorded when the member does them.
For all non-duty members, it will be recorded as 0 hours.

(6) Children List:

For this list to appear on the home page of a members website, it will need to be activated. To do this go to Setup -> Members, search for the setting mem_children_show, click Edit and change the setting to Yes. Click Save.
