Does anyone have a script like this?

Hey all,

I'm looking for a script, and since I'm not a programmer or anything, I'll try to describe what I'm doing haha.

When someone opts into my list/joins my site, they get access to a page for 30 days (it's a monthly membership site), after which it is taken down. I want a script that displays the date 30 days from when they opted in... I'd do a centralized date, but everyone will be opting in differently, and I'd like as autopilot of a system as possible.

Hopefully this way clear.. Does anyone know where to get something like this? Thanks for any help!

    what script are you using as backend for you membership site?
    It's not that hard but it differce it with each script as you need to call the database where the date is inserted of the new member and you will need to do things with that. And each membership script has differnt names for database tables and columns

    • Hey Edwin,

      It's all through an autoresponer, so the page it would go on would just be a regular HTML website template..
  • This can easily be done if your autoresponder is hosted on your website host. If you do not have that ability theres a way around it. Connect to and query the table where the members info is and do some calculations to assertain how many days are left.

    • Hey Jason,

      Not sure at all what this means.. I have very little programming knowledge. Could you explain?

      Thanks,

    Hi Tom,

    You said you had a page with access for 30 days. That is not in your autoresponder but on your end. How do you manage that or is that not in place yet?

  • Do you have a database backend that is tracking when the 30 days is up (or when they originally signed up)?

    You have two options:

    1. Generate the counter on the server-side using whatever platform is generating your membership page.

    2. Pass the date (or remaining days) to the rendered page and use Javascript to display a counter.

    Can you give more info on how your membership site is set up, such as what platform you are using, etc.?
  • You could do this via a database, or you could maybe create a cookie which is stored in the users web browser and set it to 30 days. The 'content' page would check to see if a valid cookie is present, if not it will not allow them access to the page and will re-direct them to another page. Is this what you meant?
