How to redirect when Flexiaccess restricts access

Hi there, I have reluctantly bought Flexiaccess but am now suffering from the lack of documentation for this product.

What I want to achieve is for Flexiaccess to redirect the user to a subscribe page if they do not have permissions to access an article or category

I presume this is something that can be done with 'Rules' but the section is not very self-explanatory.

I have a category called 'Articles' and a user group called 'Subscribers'. What I need is for FA to redirect the user to a page that promotes subscription.

Please can anyone help me with regards to setting this up.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

In Global Configuration in the COntrol Panel of Flexicontent, you have these paremeters :

Redirections configuration
Show Unauthorised Links (Yes OR No)
Login page (url of the login page)
Unauthorized page

I think you are looking for this parameter (Unauthorized page). Here you can write the url of yours subscriptions plans.

I hope it will help you

Regards

Hi there,

Things have developed a bit now.

Now what I need to do specifically is restrict access only to specific fields in a type.

In my example what I want to achieve specifically is restrict the 'Full Text' field to 'Subscribers'.

I have set this to work this way in the field 'Manage Permissions' but it does not seem to be working in every type of display. For example it works when I have a menu link that links to an item, but not when I have a category list of items.

Then what I want is that instead of displaying nothing it displays instead information about the subscriptions available with a link to the AEC subscription page.

I basically have this achieved using other components (Mighty Extensions) but I desperately want to move to FlexiContent as it is simply in another league, M.E. is just a constant battle against their shoddy programming.

So if you would like a future loyal customer and tips you could give would be most appreciated.

hello
actualy you can't restrict acces on specifique field
sorry

Well that is a very very great shame as it means I cant move to flexiaccess or flexicontent (and have maybe wasted my money which is precisely why I wanted a demo version).

But there is an option to restrict access to specific fields... In manage permissions in a field type you can restrict viewing access to a created group (in my case subscribers)

Is this a mistake that needs to be removed from the form or something that is in development?

The ability to restrict access on a per field basis and choose what to display in restricted fields is the ONLY thing that is preventing me from leaving Mighty Extensions and using flexiaccess/content for my clients.

actualy it not in stable version because it difficult tohave a good performance on serveur... i think manu work on ... but he want to do simply thing to manage this, flexicontent hav maybe less possibility then other CCK but it more simply to use it, think about this !!
and please respect this devellopemnt it's free component becarefull with your used word ...
if you want more, contact manu and ask request a pay quote .
regards

How do I contact Manu please?

Apologies if I have caused offence. I thought it was clear that I was complimenting Flexicontent as being far better than Mighty Extensions except in this one respect. It is however my opinion that flexiaccess is not ready to be a paid for component. Flexicontent could easily be paid for, but for both a demo is absolutely essential since without a demo it is impossible to know whether a component will actually do exactly what you need.

hello
no problem your request for demo is interesting but it's not simply to do (reinitialistion on time ...)
I note this it's a good idea
Actualy manu want to create a new version without any bug and with new feature but he work alone (not realy thanks for enjoman and ... he need some times to stabilised new featuring and kill all bug in bug tracker.
his contact
flexicontent.org/forum/index.php ... memberlist
he want to bring flexicontent free !!
after new realese we want to created a develloper team to be more reactive.
