(bumped)
As best I can tell, most people are using RSMembership to handle sites such as RSjoomla's own site, where someone is buying a license to use protected download content.
That would seem to me to be the "Subscription" model, and it appears RSmembership is sufficient for this purpose.
The Membership model I need is a means to protect access to a set of community components and pages. Unless someone has joined the site, there should be no access to the forum, social networking pages, blogs, newsletters, downloads, photos, etc. I am interested in some advanced features but won't distract the question.
Has anyone put RSMembership to use in this role with success?
