Joomla User Authorisation Plugin For Payments For Joomla Options

[Ivan Stamenov]

A new plugin will be published in a day or two: Joomla User Authorisation Plugin. It will be available for Joomla 2.5 and above.

The plugin will allow the site owners to easily add and manage a subscription layer to their site.

If the user has an active subscription, he is allowed to login. Otherwise he is invited to use the subscription payments form in order to subscribe to the site and the login is denied (though valid username and password are presented).

The plugin has an automatic built-in notification system, allowing notification messages to be sent to the users, whose subscription is about to expire. This notifications system requires the Payments for Joomla cron job to be set. The intervals, on which the notifications are to be sent to the relevant users, are set in the plugin's settings. By default these are: 3 days before the subscription's expiration and 1 day before the subscription's expiration.

There are two more plugin settings:

• VIP list: a comma separated list of user IDs. These won't be asked to pay for subscription.
• Extend subscription message: if this is set to "Yes", the subscription payments form will be presented to the subscription owners upon successfull login too, allowing them to extend their subscription period.

The plugin is currently affecting only the front-end logins. If you want the back-end logins to be affected too, comment out the first two lines from the onUserAuthorisation() function like this:
