I am looking at using Easy Blog to completely replace all the article posts on a site that is using Community Builder and CBSubs.
CBSubs controls access via subscription service.

What CBSubs can do is allow me to have anything before the "read-more" be available to the public but anything after it requires logging in or have a specific plan,

Is it possible to do this with EasyBlog?
Hello Alex,

It depends on how CBSubs are restricting this. In EasyBlog we do not have such ACL but if CBSubs is working on the system plugin layer, they could redirect upon reading the full entry view if the user has no access (If this is what is being done by CBSubs)

I can find out how they control the access using the read-more feature. Essentially the read-more link redirects to the registration page to gain access. The only thing I can do with EasyBlog is restrict the entire component but that's not very useful.

Thanks!

It was suggested by the developers of CBSubs that I look at using the URL parts protection feature of their plugin.

Would this be a possible way to limit access based on the URL.

The info is in their manual (Page 486). The page is attached.

Thanks!

If they have a plugin that protects url, perhaps you could add the following URL,

option=com_easyblog&view=entry

This is used in the non sef portion of EasyBlog when a viewer tries to view the full blog post.
