Creating member-specific content

You can create content that only members are allowed to view by configuring the appropriate settings. Additionally, you can create a custom sign-in page that details why the user must sign in before they can view the content.

Note: The Member status and Contact status do not affect the determination of whether a user is considered a member. Only the Customer type is used to determine whether the user is a member.

Content restricted to membership

To create member-specific content with a custom sign-in page, do the following:

  1. Go to RiSE > Page Builder > Manage content.
  2. From the Shared Content folder, create a new content record (New > Website Content):
    1. Using the Content Html content item, add a message similar to the following: "You must be a member to view this content. Sign in or join today to access this resource and more!"
    2. Below the Content Html content item, add the Contact Sign In content item:
      1. Select Add content.
      2. Open the Contact folder.
      3. Select the Contact Sign In content item.
      4. Click OK.
    3. Click Save & Publish for the content record.
  3. From the Shared Content folder, create a new content record for the member-only content (New > Website Content):
    1. Add the content to the content record.
    2. (Properties tab) Enable Content is restricted to members.
    3. (Redirect rules tab) From the Conditions for redirect drop-down, select Define rules:
      1. Rule : Logged-in user | Is non-member
      2. Redirect to: URL or Content
      3. Select: Content record created in step 2.
    4. Click Save & Publish.
  4. Add the member-only content record to the desired location.

If a non-member navigates to the member-only content record, they are redirected to the custom sign-in page. After the user signs in as an active member, they can view the member-only content.
