Is this possible in wordpress?

[rogueteens]

I'm trying to make a tour using wordpress and so far so good but is it possible in wordpress to make a person go to a special page on the 4th next post link?

EG: The surfer starts off on the home page but if they click on the Previous Posts" link more than a couple of time then they get sent to a Join page (made from a WP page post).

I hope this makes sense!

I'm wondering if there is a way to make the site say "if ?paged=4 then goto ?paged=join"

I think i'm gibbering on a bit now.

[FlexxAeon]

could pretty easily pass a variable around that keeps count

[rogueteens]

And how do i do that, please?

[StinkyPink]

Just write your posts backwards. Post 1=Join Now! Post 4=Welcome to my new paysite!

Why not put your own links in the post, that way they can be more prominent and say what you want?

I see that you are wanting to force a join page to the surfer, but truthfully, a join button on the side, at the bottom & at the top is going to be more affective considering you may lose the surfer altogether as he could think, this is all he is going to see.

unless I have jumped the gun & considering that 4 posts later is the definate number. I would have really thought that 10 maybe 15 posts later could be more affective. Obviously you still have the same problem.

Just my thoughts if I was surfing your great website & get a join here after a set time, I would leave to enjoy looking through some others before joining, maybe theirs

Hoping you get someone posting, that knows WP rogue

This way, the post would have to have the join here link from the start, which personally would certainly not be any good...

I can consider what Rogue is trying to create, of which it could be affective. But most people prefer to buy when they feel right & not feel pressured into a sale as said in my previous post

If he's trying to make the entire blog content protected after page 4 he's going to have a lot more problems than the join prompt.

No, just the tour.

The idea is that my blog/tour will show a page of three or so randomly generated posts (using a random post plugin), the same with page 2 and 3 then page 4 shows the join. Much like a "reality tour". Going to a join page at the end is a pretty much accepted way of doing it, I think its a better way of ending the tour than just a sudden stop.

I can see your idea, but considering it would only be blog posts & only 3 maybe 4, this wouldnt be much material to show what you have to offer.

I do like the idea of each post using a random plugin, at least everytime the surfer looks, they would see new material all the time

[harvey]

I don't think the way you're doing it is the best, but well, you can try something like this, didn't test it since I'd never do it that way, but just try it and see if it works:

<?php wp_reset_query();
if (is_page('4') ) 
{
echo "action you want to perform";
} 
?>

Not exactly what you're looking for but you might be able to mod this or use it somehow

No, there will be three or four posts per page (i havent decided how many yet) and 3 pages of posts. so the surfer will see at least nine posts before going to the join. I plan on having 20 or so posts in the blog database so that if the surfer returns, the chances are he'll see different posts

Cheers, it works, as in i get it to show up "action you want to perform" on the desired page. I just dont know the code needed to redirect to the desired page - I havent programmed anything in almost 20 years!

[FlexxAeon]

using "if is_page 4", if they go back to page 3 it will show them the previous page still.

sounded to me like you wanted them to be sent to join after they viewed 4 pages, no matter what. if so, that means you gotta store that tally somewhere.

or did i misunderstand?

I think, in the "action you want to perform" you place in

<a href="http://blablabla.com/blabla">

Ill look at wp but this should be the place you want the viewer to goto.

I'll shoot myself if that works!



I'm pretty sure its something like get_page-{id} but i'll be damned if i can get it to work, harvey's code works great, it finds page 4, i just cannot get it to redirect to my "join" page after its found it

LOL, if Wordpress was in BASIC or COBOL i'd be able to do it, hell, i'd proberbly manage to do it in DBase!

you maybe right.. i was thinking html Doh!

luck with it Rogue

[Brujah]

Best way would be to code the page to display the join page contents inside the conditional, but you could try some javascript since it's easier.

if (is_page('4') ) 
{
?>
<script>
window.location="http://domain.com/page";
</script>
<?php
}

[Brujah]

If the url is always the same, ie... yoursite.com/page/4, you might just .htaccess it.

Redirect 302 /page/4 http://yoursite.com/joinpage

did you try any of my ideas?

[rogueteens]

did you try any of my ideas?

i did but no success, it came up with errors (the javascript one). Also, in all honesty, i dont really want to jump languages if i can help it.

The page i want to jump to is called http://www.myself.com/?page_id=2 so i've been trying variations of get_?page_id=2 but i'm shooting in the dark as i dont know the first thing about php!

What about the .htaccess tip? I think this one is the easiest to implement.

The problem with php redirection it needs to happen before anything is output, so you'd want to put it in your header at the very top. Maybe in the header.php file of your theme at the very top. Some code like this:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/?page_id=4') 
{
  header("Location: http://www.myself.com/?page_id=2");
  exit();
}
?>

Is it "?page_id=4" ?

if ($_GET['page_id']=='4') 
{
  header("Location: http://www.myself.com/?page_id=2");
  exit();
}

[rogueteens]

thanks, Brujah! your advice (as well as Harvey's) as well as someone on another forum solved this for me
Many thanks

Have you tried any of the membership plugins for wordpress?

[harvey]

Sorry, didn't see it yesterday. Anyway, the idea behind conditionals is that under certain condition you need to do something different. In your case, when they get to page 4. So, you need to have both required actions: the one you want to regularly perform and the conditional one. In your case, it would be something like this:

<?php wp_reset_query();
if (is_page('4') ) 
{
echo '<a href="YOUR_JOIN_PAGE">Next Page </a>';
} else {
          echo 'YOUR_REGULAR_CODE';
     };
} 
?>
