I have RSMembership set up on a site in development, and for the most part it's pretty cool. I am having trouble, however, reconciling it with the core Joomla login/registration functionality. I might just not be thinking about it correctly, or overlooking something.

In testing, there are a few instances where I am being redirected to the Core Joomla "login or Register" page and not the redirects I've set up in RSmembership. Most likely when trying to access something restricted to "registered" users but not yet assigned to specific RSMem groups (like a component, which is still a bit of loophole in the RSMem system). Problem with this is it may confuse a new user who will then sign up through the core component and miss the group subscriptions.

Would be cool if RSmembership had a plugin to completely override the core user pages and always redirect users to articles assigned to lead the user through the proper channels.

Or am I missing something that already exists to compensate for this? Or maybe this shouldn't happen at all, and I'm just not implementing something correctly?

Thanks,

Greg

Hello,

Not quite. If the restricted item in question is in a registered area and the guest isn't logged in, then it is rather normal for this behavior. If the user is logged in then the RSMembership message should appear, either cases... the user will not be able to access the restricted content without having all permissions.

I just saw this in the changelog for the new version posted today:


Can you elaborate? It sounds like this might directly fix this loophole.

Thanks.

Hello,

This implies that a user can create an account to your website only by subscribing to membership. Clicking on the "create an account" link from the default Joomla login module will redirect to the membership list or a configured page: Components > RSMembership > Configuration > Other.
