Gift-a-Post

This plugin allows authenticated Craft CMS users to generate unique, time-limited "gift links" for entries. Recipients can access premium content without an account, while IP-based limits prevent abuse when links are shared publicly.

Features

• Generate Unique Gift Links: Create special URLs for any Craft CMS entry.
• Token-Based Sharing: Each link is secured with a unique, random token.
• Configurable Expiry: Set a custom duration (in hours) for how long gift links remain active.
• User Link Limits: Control how many gift links a user can create per month.
  • Global Limit: A shared limit for all users.
  • Specific Limit: Allows for per-user limits via custom event listeners.
• IP-Based Access Limiting: Optionally limit how many distinct IPs can use a gift link. Known IPs always pass; new IPs are rejected once the limit is reached. Only SHA-256 hashes of IPs are stored.
• Eager-Loaded Entries: Query gift links with entries included, avoiding N+1 queries.
• Console Command for Purging: Purge old IP hit records with craft gift-post/purge/hits.
• CP Settings: Easily configure plugin behavior through the Craft CMS control panel.
