Is this possible in Wordpress?

[Mr Pheer]

Lets say I have a WP site running a video tube theme...

I want to let someone watch two videos, any two videos they choose, but when they click a third video, I want them to have to sign up to the WP site.

Possible? how is it done?

[edgeprod]

Sure, why not? Just increment a counter upon a video being watched, and then let the page return a sign-up page instead of a video if the counter is greater than two.

my first thought would be that all the videos would have to be in a php widget with the code to count them or php scripting in the post itself

[edgeprod]

And, if the user is logged in, of course, ignore the check.

Nah, not necessary. You can send an event from JS, or really any other language.

Set a cookie that contains a number. Each view of a movie page increments the counter by 1. When you reach max views per page, either a) redirect to the signup page or b) display a message with a greyed out flash player and a message prompting the surfer to signup. If you wanted to do (b) then you could use a WP custom field to hold that html.

Put the cookie increment counter / redirect in header.php of course.

Yup, or a PHP session, so they can't just trash their cookies to see more videos.

Lead Wrench should offer this. Should be a simple task. I'm setting something up for my mainstream sites to capture leads and this would be great for adult. When I sober up in the morning I'll have a solution

Well if you figure it out, hook me up please.

And thanks to Edgeprod and Autumn... but I'm not a coder so the stuff you said is great and I understand it... but the only code I write is syntax errors, and I can do a wicked blank white screen.

I have setup this on a few WP sites using the premium plugins with a few tweaks from that site... It's easy to do.

But wait, you are Mr. FEAR.. if you were any other guy, I would have no problem helping you in "I Seek You" in Google Streets..

And yes, your house is 200K-250K... and in side of your JEEP, there was a white sedan and a FORD Pick-UP double cabin.

Do you want to bet?..

Haha, I'm sure there won't be an issue sharing the code.

You can get it done on freelancer or dp for like $10,i would set up a fiverr request you will surely get responses

Most things aren't hard to do, once you know how to do it.
