ContentSentry
The folks at RocketTheme are always up to good stuff. A while back, they created the RokAccess content plugin, which filters content based on user groups.
Well, it was written for Joomla 1.x but I needed something for a 1.5 site I was working on.
I found some instructions by Lukas White to hack the plugin to work under 1.5, but I needed a bit more... so I upgraded the code to a native 1.5 plugin and added some features.
NB!! It is important to know that this plugin is based on the great work by the folks at RocketTheme but this version is a separate project and not related to RocketTheme and their RokAccess plugin.
One or more group name should be passed, you can expressly deny access by putting a '!' before the group name in question. It will keep looping through the list provided until it finds a 'true' value so strange results may occur with conflicting group access. The standard Joomla! hierarchy applies so an Editor, would be allowed to see content secured by the Registered or Author group names.
You can also specify replacement text for content that is suppressed, and insert an english style list of user types for whom the content is reserved.
Example:
{sentry registered} Secret members only information {/sentry}
Becomes:
(Content visible to registered users only.)
