The access restrictions I've configured in cbsubs are not working as planned.

This is how it is configured in CB Subs:

Level one (free): has access to a section, authoring access within that section, commenting access within that section

Level 2 (paid): has access to all the above plus: another section, menu module with links to docman and forum.

This is what's happening:

Users with core registered status lose their authoring access- though authoring rights have been configured in the plan. The article submission link returns a 403 error.

Level 2 users that have core registered status do not have access to the second level menu mod and the components it links to, though though it's been configured for access in the plan.

Any user with core author status has access to everything and, of course, authoring access.

I have the latest versions of CB and CBSubs installed.

I've been going around this issue for a couple of days, trying everything I can think of. I've plumb run out of ideas. I can't help but think that there is one stupid button somewhere I haven't pushed.

Please help!

Hi Kyle- thanks for being so prompt! Sorry I wasn't- Ive been waiting for an email from the forum, but never got one- guess I didn't subscribe.

I did ask my server install ionCube and I see ionCube Loader listed under Modules. Is there something else that should be showing up here?

Both plugins are installed, enabled and public.

All content protection is failing- if the user has core author status- regardless of subscription.

A user with core registered status, regardless of subscription- is shut out of a menu module (called Basic Subsciption) which is the bones of my paid subscription. Registered users also have no access to ContentSubmit- to spite my configuration to the contrary.

I appreciate your help with this- promise I'll check back sooner this time. So much to do so little time!

Appreciate your looking into this. Really, truly. Any progress?

I've fixed all core access, basically made everything public to allow CB to take over access privileges, and made all my users registered, hoping that by making everything neat and tidy, all my soldiers would fall in properly. (It might be nice to have a line about that in the documentation- that Joomla's ACL takes precedence over CB.) I've combed through everything about a million times. At this point, theoretically, I should have everything set up properly.

Still isn't working. The one really basic piece of my subscription - the Basic Subscription menu - is now visible to everyone to spite it being set-up to the contrary in cbSubs. This and the 403 error are my two issues.

FYI- I was able to get one 1st level test member to access the ContentSubmit component- once. When I tried a second and third time, nix. The only thing I did between the two attempts was logout and login as another user. Now it's all 403, all the time.

Hope to hear from you soon...
