Article Access Questions

timpennington

I have some articles on my site that I want to restrict to registered users, however I would like to show a "preview" of the article to everyone.

To put more simply, all articles would show up to anyone visiting the site; but when someone clicks an article that is for "registered users" and they are not, it only shows maybe to the "Read More" spot or the first paragrpah or two, with a message that they need to register/sign in to read all of it.

Right now it seems if an article is for "registered" that the articles doesn't appear at all unless they register or sign in.

ANy guidance or help would be great.

Thanks

Update: I found a tutorial that show this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEzu_tcii4E

However, it didn't leave a message to tell a visitor that they needed to register to read more; it simply showed everything up to the "Read More" section.

Q: how would I add a message that says "Please register to read the full article."

Thanks

Hi timpennington

You can make a test by switching default template to Protostar - a standard template of Joomla and see how it goes. If it works with default Joomla template, then the problem comes from template.
