Limit number of item (page) views

Does anyone know of a solution to limit the number of times an article or item can be viewed? Sort of like you have with banners/ads/impressions…

In other words to  allow you easily to set the max page views for any given item/article, and when it reaches the limit, the content is unpublished or access denied.


ƒ.

ps- on a completely unrelated note, I was wondering what it would take to get some nice Joomla stickers, and why you never see any of those…!

You can write a plugin that takes care of that - basically before you
render the article you check the number of views, and if it exceeds a
limit (also stored as a plugin parameter) unpublish and
return/redirect/whatever.

http://docs.joomla.org/Developers#Plugins

Is that what you're trying to do?

Yes, and only half surprised no one knows of something like this already out there.

(explanation: In this case the client wants only a limited number of views to be possible, so they can sell access to content in limited quantities.)

Follow up questions:

1.How about a download extension for J that allows you to set max downloads? (not per user, but max times that content piece itself can be downloaded…)

2. On a more counter-intuitive note, how about an extension that allows you to charge users to view banners/ads? If this sounds like just the sort of funny thing only I could dream up, it is. Yes, I want to charge people to view ads, youze gotta problem wit dat?  :-P

Oh, big PS, we are having a 'big' Drupal pre-conference party on Friday evening December 4th, at House of Brews on West 51st with complimentary food. I've been asked to extend an invitation to any/all attendees of Joomla Developer Days that same weekend to attend. I'm talking to Elin about this, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up, we have the entire upstairs floor for the party.

cheers,

There are tons of subscription extensions out there, now that I
understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Maybe RubberDoc or DocMan? ReMository?

Sounds like fun. Not sure I'm attending either event - but a pint or
two with good conversation trumps most other possibilities ;-)
