Now updated to v1.3.

This is a content protection plugin ONLY for Joomal! 1.5 native, please don't install on Joomla! 1.0.x.

Login to Read Fulltext will protect your article content from unregistered (public) visitors. It will only display the IntroText together with a link to your registration page to public visitors. After login in, your registered users can read the fulltext of the article.

You don't need to insert any {} like syntax in the article to trigger this plugin. Just install and enable it, then Login to Read Fulltext plugin will start to protect all the articles on your Joomla! 1.5 website.

While human eyes will be blocked by this plugin, the spiders/crawlers from search engines will see the fulltext without any handicap and index your article content completely so that it can be found more easily.

If you want only protect certain sections or categories, you can define your ID list at the Admin side of this plugin.

You also can specify an alternative link for registration if your website is using some special registration extension or bridge URL instead of the default link in Joomla!.

At last, I feel sorry to tell you that my website is in Chinese, but I had put a download link in English on that page.

It was developed by a Chinese programmer, but has multi-lingual support. English language file inside.

Please test this plugin and send your feedback/feature request to joomlagate#gmail.com, you also can discuss this plugin on my forum at :

Thanks.

It's like a paradox by mariuscmr, September 5, 2008
If you make the content user restricted and Search Engine indexable then I'm going to read the cached content kept by the SE. I recommend you to disallow searching spiders to crawl the restricted articles indeed.


Works perfectly! by djtrouten, July 13, 2008

This is a great solution for the webmaster who wants to restrict access to content based on user level. It works very simply. Just install it, and select the categories that should have restricted access. You don't need to drop tags into each story -- access restrictions takes place at the category level.

When content is restricted, the introtext is still visible to the user, followed by a link urging them to log in to read more. This is better than simply making the content invisible, since it lets you show non-members the breadth of content you have available while still requiring registration to read more.

I used to use a mambot called "accesstotext" for this, but it didn't work with Joomla 1.5 and the developer seems to have dropped off the radar. "Login to Read Fulltext" does the same thing, but works perfectly with Joomla 1.5.

I contacted the developer and asked if this could be developed to restrict access based on usergroup (author, etc.). Within 24 hours he responded with a modified version that does just that. Between this plugin and Joomla's built-in restrictions for registered vs. unregistered, I actually have three easy-to-use access levels: guest, registered, and whatever level is set in "Login to Read Fulltext." I have some content that everybody can read, some content that only registered guests can read, and some that is avaiable only to "members" of my site -- people I've added to the "author" group.

Thanks for a great tool!
