Article management system?

Question

I need a software that is online that i can host. It needs to be able to provide members with my articles for free. I need them to be logged in and track every time a logged in users uses my article. The article can't be checked out to only one user so a library management system will not work. If you know of a software that has the ability to do the above then please let me know. If there is no open source project do you know of a script that is already made for this task or is it time for me to start building one since i am a programmer.

Answer 1

Parts of your question are quite confusing.

1. When you say you want to know when they use your article - does that mean read it? Or does use have some other eaning

2. You said you don't want it checked out, so do you mean you don't want them to be able to save it locally?



Its too confusing, anyway something like this ?

Edit 2:

Oh you want a content leasing system. So basically they are leasing your article from your site. Oh the logistics behind that are horrible. So you basically want a system where people can lease your article and you want to know where those articles are basically used. Yet allow all users to still be able to see it in other places.



The issue I see will crop up, I don't think anyone would take the full article, Its more of an all or none game. If they take the article they would rather have exclusivity over it, not share it. I understand you just want to track your working among sites, that's quite fine.



Im running the quandry in my head, but as far as I know, there is no article leasing / tracking system which was ever succesful. Sorry

A simple library management system that provides following facilities login, register, add category, add / remove book, search / issue book, return book. Language used is C# and db is SQL server 2000 and SQL Client has been used in code. One Admin user is already there once db is installed with user name admin and password admin. Admin user has extra functionalities like add category, add/remove books. These functionalities can not be done by simple user that registers. Password encyption - decryption has been used in project. Its very simple project where in all the events of all forms has been handled in Globals.cs that acts as business and data access layer. All DB interactions are in this file only. As far as db is concerned there are only 4 tables 1. Lib_Users - fields are User_ID,User_Name,User_Password,User_Is_... Number_Of_Books_Issued 2. Lib_Book_Details - fields are Lib_Book_ID, Lib_Book_Title, Lib_Book_Category, Lib_Book_Author_Name ,Lib_Book_Issue_Status, Lib_Book_In_Inventory 3. Lib_Book_Issue_Details - fields are Lib_Book_Issue_ID, Lib_Book_ID, Lib_Book_Issued_On, Lib_Book_Issued_To, Lib_Book_Returned_On 4. Lib_Book_Categories - fields are Category_ID, Category_Name Screen shots are in word doc Library. Read instructions.txt to install the code. Architecture is pretty simple as project is very simple. All forms have events and all events needs are sufficed from Globals.cs that is one single point access to DB. I am working on this to add more features. This will be done soon. Files Uploaded are - LibraryManagementCode.zip (contains code) Debug.zip - contains exe Instructions.txt library.txt - SQL file Library.doc - all screen shots library.zip - it has sql file
