[Reverse] Content Dripping

I posted this on an older post, but no-one has responded in the 7 days it has been on there….

…I’m trying to implement a ‘reverse drip’: where content is available on login, and then becomes unavailable after a specified period of time: great for introductory offers.

For example using your code (from S2MemberAPI ScriptingContent Dripping (I removed the tags otherwise this message system strips it out):

php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS >= 30)
Drip content to Members that started paying you at least 30 days ago.
php }

This Drips content to Members that started paying you at least 30 days ago.

I tried reversing this to:

php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS <= 30
Stop displaying this content when the member has been registered for over 30 days
php }

However, it didn't work. The content is still visible.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

Russ

Hi Russ.

Sorry about the other post, I don’t visit the community forum so I had not noticed it.

About your code, what you wrote should work, not sure why it didn’t.

[hilite pre_code]

Show only during first month.

[/hilite]

Was the test account you tried it with, older than 30 days? What do you get if you echo the constant?

Thanks Cristian,

I implemented the code you gave above, and ran the echo constant, it read 27. I then set the number of days <= 1, refreshed the browser 3 or 4 times, and the content still shows.

I’d like to take a look. Could you submit your site’s info? Please include the name of the page you’re testing this in, and let me know when you sent it. Thanks. s2Member® » Private Contact Form

I have just sent it Christian, Thanks.

Thank you for your inquiry.

I took a look at your installation, and your Content Dripping appears to be working as expected. I used the code from your original post:

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS > 30) { ?>
Show only during first month.
<?php } ?>

The Administrator account you sent us data to was created 1 day ago, so the content did not show, but when I changed your code to this, it showed up just fine:

<?php if(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_DAYS < 30) { ?>
Show only during first month.
<?php } ?>

I left the draft that I created in your Posts list. You can see the code that I used there.

I implemented the code you gave above, and ran the echo constant, it read 27. I then set the number of days <= 1, refreshed the browser 3 or 4 times, and the content still shows.

This could perhaps be a caching issue. I notice you have Quick Cache installed. Try clearing the cache, and see if that fixes your issue here.

Let us know if problems persist.

Hi Bruce,

How bizarre! Nevertheless, I’m pleased it is working correctly, and thanks for taking the time to look at this for me.
