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.
