Purchasing of electronic media through iMIS Shop

Posted September 10th, 2012 by Scott Rowan

Hi guys,

Looking to expand our offering to members.

Is it possible to have a product available for purchase on our iMIS website that then provides access to that user to an imis WCM content item.

If user has not purchased that product they cannot see the content item.

If user has purchased item then they see a list of items which are available to them.  Content items could be a range of media (e.g. pdf, video etc).

Has anyone done something like this with imis WCM?

Am currently using 15.2.1.3282 and we do have taskcentre available to us.

Thanks,

Scott

Security Role

For the most "out of the box" option, you could create a new security role for each electronic product. Then create a WCM page and/or navigation item that has this electronic product and secure it with this role. Setup a process to give the person the security role as part of the checkout process when they pay for it. (This is where Task Centre may come in handy). This will work however it would get cumbersome if you have more than 40-50 products to sell.

protect the docs?

Joe,

Have you set this 'out of the box' option for a client or is this just a thought?

I ask because of my most recent post here. Using the document manager, we're doing a similar setup (protecting the content via access setting restrictions), but the client is concerned about the documents and links to the documents being essentially public (even though the content records to get to those files are not). Is there any concern about spiders or bots finding these pdfs?

Thanks

This will not work with the document manager. You would have to access the files via the Content File iPart for this to work. Sorry I left this part out.
