    Hi,
    my pages of the learning modules are in a protected subdomain.
    In this subdomain, there are dynamic pages that contain texts. But at the moment they are not viewable to the people that are not members.
    I want to show them an excerpt as a teasing, and also to let search engine index part of it.

    At the moment people are redirected to the sign up page, how to show them an excerpt when they are not logged in?

    Thanks

    No simple way to do it- you will either need to do some custom coding on the specific pages you want to protect (pain in the butt) or use a system integration like wordpress.

    I think one possible solution is to unprotect the subdomain, but use a cookie to serve the content to the right people, the same cookie by amember.

    Yeah, that would be the custom coding solution- you would use the amember session info to check if the member has the product active to view the content. if they do- they get the full post, if not, only teaser text.
