How to restrict access to Menu Items, Modules was created by Tuan Pham Ngoc
Hi all
I answered this question via support ticket. However, I think many of you have the same questions, so I post the solution here :
Since we are now using Joomla 2.5, we can use a simpler solution to restrict access to Menu items and modules. Please follow the instructions below :
1. Create a new Joomla Groups called Subscribers.
2. Create a new access level called Subscribers, then choose Subscribers group for this access level.
3. Find and publish the OS Membership Groups plugin.
4. Edit subscription plan, setup it so that when users subscribe to this plan, they will be assigned to Subscribers group, when their subscription expired, they will be removed from Subscribers group.
5. Edit the modules, menu items you want to restrict access to Subscribers, set access property of that menu item/module to Subscribers. By doing that, only subscribers of the subscription plan can access to these menu items, modules...
Hope my explanation are clear to you. I am available if you have any other questions .

Hi Tuan,
I'm not sure I understand. I have enabled all the plugins and assigned subscirbers to two groups... free trial and subscribers. In the article access drop down I only have public, registered and special. How do I enable articles to be seen only by one of these two groups?
...sorry just answered my own question! Users.... Access levels.

Hi Tracey
You will need to create a new access level and choose the two groups for that access level . Go to Users -> Access Levels -> Add new access level to add a new access level.
Then assign the article to the new access level and it will work as expected.
Does that help ?

I believe screenshots would be very helpful. Some of this is confusing.

Hi,
Would it also be possible to have a menu item not be accessible for the subscribers, but accessible for everyone else? In my case, this would be a Register menu item, that I would like to remove for users who are already registered.
Thanks!

Hi All, can someone explain the dis/advantages of using this Menu method to restrict access. For me there seems to be a value to showing people a menu that they cant access so they get a feel of whats 'under the hood', but whats the disadvantage over using say the joomla ACL?
Thanks, Ben
