    Hi,

    I'd like to add some new functionality to my version of aMember and suspect that the Incremental Content plug-in may fit my needs. Of course, I'd like to clarify with the community before I purchase the plug-in. Perhaps there's a better solution?

    Here's what I'd like to do:

    I have three products (financial reports) that are updated quarterly. In the event that a customer buys a financial report at the end of the quarter (lets say within two weeks of the next quarter), I'd like to give him access to both the previous and current quarters' reports.

    I've considered creating new products/subscriptions for each quarter, but that seems like a lot of work because I'd then need to manually give/deny access to customers. Ideally, aMember would automatically give access to the previous quarter, in the event that the current subscription was started near the tail end of the quarter.

    Thoughts? Is there an easy solution? Or should I just resign myself to creating subscriptions for each quarters' products and manually giving access to the previous quarter's report?

    Thanks in advance for your time and responses :)

    The incremental content plugin works as a time from signup system- not a in which period did they sign up. What you are looking for is what i call a "book of the month model" where you get access to this month and future content, but have to buy previous months.

    aMember doesnt have a plugin for this. Send them a support ticket as they may have a customization that allows it, and maybe will make an alternative plugin that does this- i'd like to see it too. Its a good model.
