Im hoping theres a simple solution to this but I'm doubtful.
I read through the member control thread and it has made me a bit sad.
What I need is a way to set permissions on content so that a user can log in a specified number of times. Concurrency monitoring basically. Anyone know if its possible to do something like that? Using Umbraco v4 and have only been at that for a week now.
Can you clarify what you mean by user becuase user in umbraco terms is cms user. A website user is termed member. Member controls is used on members. Are you looking to implement concurrency monitering on members?
Yes we would be looking at implementing concurrency on members. Sorry about the confusion, still trying to wrap my mind around some of the naming conventions Umbraco uses.
Basically we are looking at having content which would need to be limited in terms of concurrency. Website users would need to log in and we could set that a username can be logged in up to 5 times or so and that way ensure that if someone exceeds their login quota we can prevent further logins.
You could add property to the member type definition type number and for each member set that to five. Then update the login control in member controls so that on succesful login you get that login value of 5 and take one of. Also before logging in you could check that value and if 0 stop the login and give them friendly message etc.
Thanks. I figured it would probably be something along those lines, I was just a bit concerned as the "member control" thread started going a bit off the deep end with what needed to be done to get any form of member control going.
