Hi,

For those of you who haven't already figured this out read the following:

Should you have items you want to restrict to members or paid subscribers to your website then use a plugin such as 'jhide' or similar and its tagging feature.

The process is to download the plugin, install and activate.

Wherever you wish to restrict access to content, include before the content {reg} and after content {/reg}.

At end of item include the following:

{noreg} your non subscriber text {/noreg}

Typically, you would use the options if you wanted to show an item teaser (introtext) to all visitors to your site and the full item (fulltext) to only registered users.

This solution is simple, works site wide and whether the visitor uses a text, image, print or email link.

When using this solution you should add at end of article the following:

{noreg}

SUBSCRIBER ONLY CONTENT

The content you wish to view is restricted to members only.

To view this content please log in.

If you are member and have no yet recieved your login details, email (include email link) us to rectify the problem.

If you are a new visitor and wish to subcribe, please register (include link to your registration page) here.

{/noreg)

The above is a simple solution that works with any article published in either Joomla Content or K2 Items.

NOTE: You must enable the legacy plugin in Joomla to use this suggestion.

I hope this suggestion helps others.

Best,

CHRIS

Hi all,
HIDER doet it in native 1.5 mode.
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/content-restriction/6004
Nice!

what if i have thousand of items and hundreds of categories?isnt there any automatic plugins?
should i use acl components?if yes which one?
thank you

I have found "Login To Read Full" plugin (extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/content-restriction/5371) which works brilliantly on Joomla! articles, but appears not to on K2 items.

Would anyone be able to offer some suggestions on how to convert a standard plugin to a K2 plugin for this purpose?

@mehdif
This plugin would work for you, no need to manually add plugin tags in each article, it can be managed by category or section.

HiDoes exist any plugin , free or commercial, to restrict access only to k2 item detail ? clearly based on one o more k2 categories...
