This is wonderful! I tried a number of other MP3 players, but they were all too buggy or too complicated. This is just the thing for the webmaster who is looking for a simple way to embed an MP3 file in a story. Thank you for this great plugin.

This is a very nice plugin for Community Builder, adding the functionality of the Facebook "status" message. It installs easily and does just what it says.

Let me suggest a couple of things that would make it even better:

1. It would be great if the status mesage could start with the person's name, rather than their username.

2. It would be great if there was a module that could be used to pull the last "x" number of status updates and display them in a module position on another page of the Joomla site (perhaps the front page), with each status update being linked to the CB profile of the person. This would make the status updates more visible, and drive traffic to the CB profiles.

Again -- great job! Thanks for this useful tool.

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!

Does exactly what it says -- no muss, no fuss. Works intuitively and seems to play nicely with everything else I have installed. Very flexible in terms of fields you can add.
