Restricting Access to Members only to Premium subscribers.

Last question, I hope !!

I have a list of deals that everyone can see, they show as articles with links to the relevant member so you can click to view the profile and send an email about it. However I only want that functionality to be for premium members. All others can see the deal, but not access the profile so they are diverted to the membership page or somewhere else.

How can I go about setting that up please?

Many thanks

I thought I had it sussed, but it didn't work !!! Any thoughts?

You want to protect profiles with a subscription or just those specific profiles with a subscription? Protecting profiles in general is relatively easy just by protecting the profile URL in By URL Part protection on Integrations > Extensions tab provided by CBSubs Content integration. Specifically the below URL.

option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile&user=/\d+/

If you need it to protect specific profiles you'll need to be more specific like the following.

option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile&user=USER_ID_HERE

If you want to protect multiple specific profiles you can use the below.

option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile&user=/^(USER_ID_1|USER_ID_2|USER_ID_3)$/

You can add more user ids separated with |. If you just need to protect specific tabs or fields I recommend using CBSubs Fields Tabs Protection instead.

Thanks for the reply Krileon,

I want to block all profiles, however if I block the URL path for user profile, will it not also block the their actual profile page as well?

Thanks

The URL used to reach your own profile doesn't include the &user parameter so it should only block access to profiles other than your own.

I could kiss you !!!!
Seriously, many thanks. The website is going live in 23mins !!
You have all been really helpful
Cheers
