I want to try experiment - on websites like business insider I’m able to preview first 2-3 paragraphs of article before they make me pay for subscription.
I was wondering is the some kind of handlebar or method where I can show first 2-3 paragraphs of paid-members-only article for non-paying users?
I believe it would better justify the content quality and conversion rate for people to subscribe to paid membership.
{{#if access}} is what you’re looking for. https://ghost.org/docs/members/content-visibility/#access
No, that doesn’t allow for preview text from individual posts. That functionality is coming though:
Do we have any update on this functionality? It would be terrific!
I would also be interested in this and appreciate any update!
I managed to put together something for previewing member only content, here is a demo Demo: Member-Only Content Preview will write about the implementations when I get a chance, it’s not too involved (update: here is the write up How to Enable Preview for Member-Only Content in Ghost)
Not sure I undertand but has this feature been “in development” since January 2020?
Would be nice to finally have… Thanks.
A few people were asking me about this, so I made a small tool for it, see here Ghost Preview Setup Instruction
Thanks, that’s awesome!
There seems to be a little glitch on the dashboard though. Whenever I hop away from the site (e.g. to copy the admin token), the form closes and I have to start again. So currently the only way to submit the form is to enter everything manually and only copy/paste the token BEFORE you start. It happens in Safari and Chrome (and possibly other browsers) and it looks like a JS triggered page reload.
Btw: Do you have a github repo or something for this? Maybe I could submit a PR. Also have another feature I’d like to add/see (disabling download links in the preview).
hey Matt, I think the form just does not hold state once closed. Yeah, the code is here GitHub - dingran/ghost-utils: Some utilities for publishing on Ghost platform
