I will pay for the mod for DBMan
Hello!

User must enter login/password every time he wants to see any record. I'd like this combination to expire after (...) number of entering. So, I'd like to let user view only limited number of records, using username and password combination. If a user wants to see more records, he must order password again.

Contact me, if you may help.

First, you need to say which program -- links 2.0, dbman, dbman sql, Links SQL 1, or Links SQL 2.

In the SQL versions this is probably not very hard. The most complicated feature is how to order new passwords. If you are going to do that part manually, then in Links SQL it's probably just a modification of the jump.cgi program and making sure all calls to the database go through that, and providing a decrement field in the user record. Something like the adult sites have used for years, based on the old IBILL system.

I don't know dbman well enough to suggest anything for that.

I believe the title of his post indicates DBMan - I'll fill in the blank of being DBMan 2.0.

I vowed never to touch flat-file based programs again :)

What you might save in initial cost, or set up, more than compensated for when you try to make modifications such as this. With SQL, most modifications are almost trivial. This would probably be one of those.
