Feature Request: Restrict user to be able to view only future content, not past

Project:Premium
Version:6.x-1.x-dev
Component:Code
Category:feature request
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:postponed (maintainer needs more info)

Issue Summary

I have been using the Premium module on 2 other sites for awhile now. It does exactly what those sites need.

I am now taking on a new project that is taking a little different twist on the subscription model. They would like to allow users to only view future created content and not have access to content that was previously posted. They are going to offer those previously posted articles as individual products for sale.

In short, I need the ability to restrict access to specific content types based on the post date and the user's creation date. This may be outside the scope of this module. If so, does anyone have any suggestions for how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

The current module has an “archive” setting, that protects content older than x days. As I understand your post, this should be sufficient to accomplish your needs.

Does the archive feature effect all users the same? I was looking for a way to restrict access to content posted prior to a user's subscription date

e.g. John subscribes March 4th. He is able to view all content posted from March 4th and on but NOT content posted before then. Jane subscribed March 1st so she can see all content posted from March 1st and on.
