Hi and Help with coding for content

Hi I am new to using s2member, or any kind of membership site program come to that. I am setting up a membership site with just one paid level. I want to drip feed content to subscribers every 30 days. So that every month they would get access to the next lot of tutorials.
I did a search on the forum posts and found something to do with dripping content, but I have no experience in coding and the information I did find did not really make it clear where I was supposed to add any coding to do this.
So to recap I want to set up a site with just one level of membership, and for each member to get access to a different module of training every 30 days. So someone joining today would get module one, and in 30 days they would have access to module one and module two and so.
Can anyone help this non coder to sort this problem out please, or point me in the direction of a man who knows.

Hi Garry. :)

Content dripping is a feature that's still evolving in s2Member, but in the meantime you can manage a useful setup with what is available right now.

One way about it is to integrate with a list server WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / List Servers and configure a drip sequence there that will send emails with links to the new content in the blog. That said, if someone finds out the URL to the future content, they'd have access to it.

Another approach is to use s2Member conditionals in the post's body, to check how many days have passed since starting and decide if that content is available to the person or not. This is most probably what you found in your search.

I'm afraid that you will need help from someone that has some PHP knowledge if you don't have it yourself. You can post a job for someone to help you with this here viewforum.php?f=37

I hope that helps. :)
