Have you ever wished you could set start and end dates in your content management system (CMS) for when items display?
Or wished you could set up your items so that guests connecting from UK see a different item to people connecting from the USA?
Or wanted to restrict items by IP address?

Now you can... With Fastnet's “Meta Item Module” - a item module that includes other item modules, according to rules that you set up in your CMS.

Fastnet can even incorporate GeoLite Country or City databases from MaxMind, so that we can base your rules on the Country or City names of the people connecting to your site (GeoIP targeting).
