Want to control the Joomla ACL depending on a user’s membership status?

Version 2 of the Joomla CiviCRM Membership Authentication Plugin does precisely this for Joomla 1.6 and CiviCRM 4.0 users. 

  • Allows users to login with either their username or email address

  • Uses the Joomla user table to authenticate

  • Checks that that user has a current CiviCRM membership record

  • Sets the Joomla Access Level depending on the users membership status

  • Redirects to the configured menu item  based on potential results

Also, if a user's membership has expired they can be redirected to a contribution page to renew.
