Hi,

Building a website for my children school. Basically, I need to restrict K2 Items Full Text to certain User Groups (Joomla Core or Community Builder, it's the same), so anyone can see introtext, but only registered users can see full text.

I found this thread but a) it's outdated and b) attached hack is no more downloadable. :(

Any idea of a workaround / hack? I can edit a PHP file but NOT yeat a pro of K2 (so, if you mention template, pls explain).

Joomla 2.5.8
Latest K2
Latest Community Builder (if you need it)

Pls, I really need this!! :huh:

Thanks in advance,

Alex

In the k2 template override file item.php place the fulltext block within the if an else. Put your message after the else

$user =& JFactory::getUser();

if (!$user->guest) {
display fulltext
} else {
display message to registar to readmore
}

There are extensions you can download/buy at Joomla.org to accomplish this.

Hi Alex, I am doing this on my site too. I've tried a couple of extensions but found the best one for this to be Nice Content Access by Trinitronic which I've found works fine in my K2 items. It is a paid-for extension but not too expensive and the support offered by the owner Michael is fantastic. Hope I'm not out of turn posting this on the forum, as I'm a new user but it should fit your needs perfectly.

Good luck!
