We recommend you set the order of this plugin as 1st in the content type. Because the plugin changes the text of an article when it is preparing for front-end display.
It has two parameters: "Search Engine Bots" and "SEO meta-tag".
For "Search Engine Bots" you can enter search engines manually by using the bot name. If you leave it empty, the plugin loads the default search engine list (initial value). These search engines can crawl your website content. If you want to stop crawling, set the parameter "SEO Metatag" as "No-index". We recommend you the option "No-archive". Because if you select "No-archive", search engines crawl your site content but don't show any content such as cache on their search results.
The latest version of the plugin was developed and tested with the core "Content" component and the most popular content construction kit "K2" v2.6.9.
It's about the following plugin parameters: "The Primary Selection of Content" and "The Additional Filters of Content". In general, "Article Selection" overrides "Category Selection". See below.
Category Selection | Article Selection | Result: "Login Message" |
---|---|---|
include | include | show |
exclude | include | show |
exclude | exclude | hide |
include | exclude | hide |
For example, let the ID of an article is 24, it is included in the category "Uncategorized" and the category selection type is "Exclude", the article ID is included in the "Articles" list, the article selection type is "Include". In this case, the login message is displayed.
These filters are used to make a more complex selection from articles or K2 items which are selected by the primary selection. The compatibility of available filters is described in the following table.
Filters | Content * | K2 |
---|---|---|
Featured Status | + | + |
Content Tags | + | |
Custom Field | + | |
K2 Extra Fields | + |
* - core component "com_content" of Joomla! CMS.
The input format of the custom field is {"id":"ID","value":"VALUE","rawvalue":"RAWVALUE"}
. For example, {"id":"15","value":"Yes","rawvalue":"1"}
. You have to enter at least one pair of values and raw values.
To configure the custom field and the extra field parameters of this plugin can be activated in debug mode. In the debug mode, you can see custom or extra fields of an article or a K2 item.
The input format of the extra field is {"id":"EXTRA_FIELD_ID","value":["VALUE_ID","VALUE_TEXT"]}
.
For example, for drop-down selections, multi-select lists, and radio buttons, for text fields and text areas {"id":"16","value":["Premium","Premium"]}
. As well as the value of drop-down selections, multi-select lists, and radio buttons consist of internal ID and value. But a value of text fields and text areas consists of text value only (in this case, the internal id of the value is NULL).
The internal ID of the value is unseen in the debug message for item view mode. So you need to see (in the debug message) the id (internal id of the value) open your K2 item in list view mode (categories, latest items, tag, or user page /blog/). The other way to see it, is to access database table "#__k2_extra_fields".
The relation between Login options and other parameters is illustrated in the following table. The login options are numbered as the above list.
Login Options | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Encrypt Login Form | + | ||||||||
Users Link | + | ||||||||
Show in Popup Window | + | ||||||||
Custom Login URL | + | ||||||||
Module Name | + | + | |||||||
Module Position | + | + | |||||||
Login Title | + | + | + | ||||||
Login Message | + | + | + | + | + | + | + |
Skip count
The maximum number of articles (requests) will be allowed full access. Insert 0 to disable it. Do not set it too high.
Access Level
This plugin doesn't override the access level. Instead of access level, you have to use other things: article ID, category, featured status, tags, K2 extra fields, etc. The access level is very restrictive to incoming guests, readers, subscribers, and search engine bots. So we suggest this plugin to Joomla users. In this case, you need to set the access level of an article as "Public". In other words, you don't need to change it. Because "Public" is the default value of the access level.
To use this plugin for items that are displayed by the "K2 Content" module, you need to enable the modules option "Enable Joomla content plugins".
The extension has its own plugin which controls the Joomla cache for com_content and com_k2 components. The plugin temporarily disables the cache when a user browses an article or a list of articles. Thus this extension always can hide the main part of articles from unauthorized users.
Finally, don't disable the cache controller plugin which is called "System - JExtBOX Login to Read More" when you use the extension.
We support the most recent version of the extension.
Also, we develop and test our extensions for the latest release of Joomla.
JExtBOX Login to Read More is the Joomla extension.
