Hello-

using Joomla 2.5 and most updated version of RsMembership.

I have four basic subscription types / categories: Trading Room, Algo Insider, Trade Alerts, and Automation.

I have "shared content" for their respective categories, however, when I test if the content is available for registered users, WITHOUT subscriptions or CANCELED/EXPIRED subscriptions, the content is not being protected.

I have four article categories that are associated with the the four subscription types, and none of them are blocking access to users that subscriptions may have expired, or do not have a subscription.

The article categories are members of parent groups that are public (public in joomla too), but the child groups are suppose to be protected(and are "registered" access through joomla as well). (I have done this before and it worked on a previous site, but I figured I should mention it anyway)

I have already tried re-installing the extension, and it has not helped.

THANKS!

-Dan

PS: I am sharing content via CATEGORY BLOG STYLE...

I found a post in the forums that says I need to change some code (possibly)... I find this as an unacceptable solution however... This product should do this on its own:


TIP: How to "Shared Article" Content (blog style)
I needed to do the following, I am sure someone else would need this:

Displays "Shared Article" content (blog style) even if membership has expired. You can change the setQuery statment to include restriction and/or foreach statement to change article display.

For menu item: RSMembership » Mymemberships

...com_rsmembership\admin\helpers\rsmembership.php

add after line 21 with:

function getMembershipArticles($membership_id) {

$article =& JTable::getInstance("content");
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery( "SELECT `params` FROM #__rsmembership_membership_shared WHERE `type`='article' AND `published`='1' AND `membership_id`='".$membership_id."'" );
$items = $db->loadObjectList();
if (!empty($items)){
foreach ($items as $item){
$article->load(intval($item->params));
echo "<h3>".$article->get("title")."</h3>";
if ( intval($article->get(modified)) !=0 ) {
echo "<p style='margin:-15px 0 0 0;'>_{".JText::sprintf('LAST_UPDATED2', JHTML::_('date', $this->article->modified, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2')))."}</p>";
}
echo $article->get("fulltext");
}
}
}



...com_rsmembership\site\views\mymembership\tmpl\default.php

add after line 123 or where ever you would like to begin to display the articles with:

<?php RSMembershipHelper::getMembershipArticles($this->membership->membership_id) ?>


Category: RSMembership!

Also: I have not tried out the "changing RSMembership code" yet, nor do i plan to until advised by support...

Hello,

The ACL structure is controlled by Joomla!.
If you put parts of Joomla! in the registered group you only say all registered users have access.
If you really want to block parts to different groups and memberships, you need to configure your Joomla! ACL correctly.
Things like different access groups and different viewing levels.

A easy way to manage your ACL structure is to use Joomla! ACLManager.

I don't use RSMembership! but i can imagine just like with other Joomla! extensions if your don't have a correct ACL Structure you can't block items for certain groups
