    Hi,

    I want to setup a membership product that delivers new content like an autoresponder.

    The way that this would work, is that month 1 the member gets that content.
    month 2 they get new content, etc.

    I want this to be like an autoresponder in that each person who signs up and pays would be in a different cycle.

    So if Jane comes now she is in month 1
    but 4 months later Jane is in month 5 and Mary is in month 1

    I don't see how to do this, because on the /amember/member.php page, it shows you all the folders the product has access to.

    Now, I know how to solve delivering the content each month. I'll use my 1shoppingcart system to send them the autoresponders
    i.e. "get your content here /myfolder/month1"

    But, how to I hide it from the /amember/members.php page?



    thanks,

    I hope you will make a grand email announcement to all your customers when you do implement it!

    Another workaround I've been contemplating uses the Autoresponseplus plugin. (And Autoresponseplus, of course...) You get people to download an rss feedreader that is preloaded with your feeds: you call it a 'self-updating course book' or something. Then you add your content to Autoresponseplus for timed delivery via rss. So the content only exists inside Autoresponseplus, not in a protected folder, and it won't show in your membership area. As far as I know, you can deliver pretty much any kind of content through an rss feed, not just text.

    I haven't tried this yet, but I think it'd work. Maybe Alex will implement timed delivery before I get round to it! :)
