I would like to have DAP allow the purchase of a specific WordPress “role”. That way – by tying capacities to that role – I could use the user’s role to provide more specific benefits than just access to content, but also tailor other features.
Your thoughts on that, please …

Adam,

It looks like you figured it out before I could answer your question .

We will put this on our TODO list to work on a more elegant solution in a future version.

Thanks!

Actually, after looking at this more closely it will actually work. Each page could be a separate product and then we select which page(s) members get. Man, this is great because the one program that turned out to be a flop only allowed total access which is what we didn’t want. Good job Ravi…it will work.

Ravi, we’re planning to have a site where it’s content based. In other words, members will have access to pages created on the site. My question is how can I give member “x” access to pages 1-3 and member “y” access just to only 4-7 and member “z” access to pages 2, 5-6? I’m thinking that I’m going to have to create several products in order to do this. I really would like to assign whatever pages I want to assign to a member based on his/her membership level. Is there a way to do this without creating a ton of products?

@Mark,

>>would this be a good way to offer protected video content?

That is correct.

An even more secure strategy is to host your videos on Amazon S3 and use http://S3MediaVault.com in combination with DAP to make your media/videos the most secure.

Great ideas here!

Also, If I have, say, a Viddler video which I have customized to NOT be embeddable by members/viewers in any way, and I place that within an HTML page which is in turn protected by DAP, would this be a good way to offer protected video content? It seems like this is the way to go. Look forward to your thoughts…
