Project Description:

The site was built using Pods for custom content types, highlighted below. There are many more minor features not listed here.

Access Control

• Only active ‘online-enabled’ subscribers can access current issue articles and PDFs
• Subscribers can also purchase back issues from previous years in digital PDF format (downloadable after purchase) or sent to them via mail in the tangible magazine format
• Only subscribers who have purchased an article (either by credit card, or article credits) can view them and download the associated PDF
• Some articles are ‘freely’ available, in which access is then limited based on additional settings configured per-article or per-issue by management
• Only certain staff members can manage Articles, Subscribers, Reporting, and or Blog posts (depending on their job title)
• Institutions limited to # of concurrent seats and given access by IP ranges
• Once an Institution is detected by their IP, their activities are logged for reporting and concurrency implementation

API Access (JSON or XML)

• iOS App access to the API to authenticate existing subscribers and deliver issues each month
• nRelate (the provider of Search on the site) access to the API to pull article content in for search indexing purposes each month
• Additional API calls available for ‘full reindexing’ if ever needed

E-commerce

• Subscriptions (auto-renewing) and Article / Issue purchase handling including digital delivery
• Custom Palm Coast Data API integration to pull / push subscription data per-subscriber
• Payflow Pro API integration for auto-renewal subscriptions (profiles) and one-time purchases using Credit Cards
• Extensive Gravity Forms integration for processing Subscription-related and Customer Service forms
• Custom Reporting and Exporting of overall performance and subscriber / order data

Migration Services

• Migrated client from previous site built with ColdFusion ontop of a MS SQL database to PHP and MySQL
• Extensive MySQL migration provided which was custom tailored due to many concerns with and issues in their previous database’s data integrity and structure
• Migrated thousands of issue and article PDFs and relinked them to the corresponding migrated items
