Joomla Incremental Content

Is anyone successfully running a Joomla-Amember integration with incremental content? I've found clues here on the forums, but nothing that solved my problem.

I've set up Joomla 1.5.23, Amember and the Joomla plugin. Seems to work okay (didn't realize I had to fork over 100 bucks to 1shoppingcart on their end, too, but I've done that now).

I want to drip content every week to members, so I bought the incremental content plugin, but that just protects directories, not joomla pages/categories.

The incremental bridge plugin looks good to accomplish this, but seems to be only for Wordpress (I'm much more comfortable with Joomla over Wordpress. I could use wordpress, but I'm going to have over 500 pages of content, so Joomla feels better to me).

It seems I could do something with php_include to protect the joomla pages, but not sure how to do that for incremental content.

The Amember article protection plugin looks useful, but again, not for incremental content.

Been at this for awhile. Feel like a heart attack may be on the horizon if I don't sort it out soon. Any advice?

Thanks very much,
Phil

I dont know of any plugins which drip content in joomla.

What you can do is create hidden articles in joomla, and redirect to them from the amember members page as amember drips out the links.

Thanks David, your first response there make sense - linking to articles from the amember members page.

But how do I stop them from accessing those links once their membership expires? I know they won't be able to see the links when they login to amember, but if they've bookmarked them, they can still access them.

I guess the issue there is that amember doesn't do anything to stop them from logging into joomla once their membership has expired. I suppose I could write a bit of php code to check if they are still unexpired in the amember database, but I don't know how to do that.

Any other solutions for that issue?

Thanks again,
Phil

If you are using ACL, or the byos jacl plugin, you can set the content as "gold" etc member only. Then they need an active membership to that level to get the content.

Has this changed? MembershipAcademy has a video on how to do this on their site. If it can't be done, I will have to go to [another solution] because this seems just basic for membership software.
