Just giving this a little bump to get more attention.

Is there an area where posts are matched to users? Maybe that would lead me in the right direction. Or maybe there is actually a hook or function to assign posts to users?

Assigning Posts/Where is Purchased Post Data Kept?

2011-02-12T20:05:03-05:00

Hi,

I'm wondering if I can assign a specific post to a user once they've signed up. Assuming that this kind of request fell under user meta data, this is my function mockup to explain:

Code:: function assignPost($user_id, $post_id) { $posts = get_user_meta($user_id, 'posts_purchased', true); $posts .= ":$post_id"; update_user_meta($user_id, 'posts_purchased', $posts); }

I basically want to assign everyone post_id = 1, and from then on I want only certain users to be able to access certain posts (depending upon other variables, most likely meta data.) I want them all to be under the same role.

Hopefully I can also somehow integrate drip feeds into this, like once a post has been assigned 7 days later it's sent to them via email.

This is really important to me and if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
