Emerald and Advanced Module Manager: how to show a module only to certains subscribers?

You can use Change group action. This action will attach user to new group. And then you can use Joomla core ACL to restrict view of the module.

Good idea! But what if I have already hundreds of subscribers with no particular user groups, adding the action will change also the user group of existing subscribers?

Tnx

I have an idea, why don't you fill the content of the module with something else when it is visible to non-subscribers? Two different content to subscribers and non-subscribers. Just give a useful information for example?

If you want to "change the user group" solution, don't change the user group, just add them to another group. This is how I do it.

nican adding the action will change also the user group of existing subscribers?

No. But what you can do is to change track_active to 0 in _emerald_subscriptions and actions will be triggered for those users next time they access your site.

Another way to do this is to add new position into template. This will work if you have standart template not something like yoothem. Actualy Yoothem will also work but it is too complicated to describe how to change that.

But anidea is to add new position to the layout and take this position inside [PAID].

Good to know, thank you!

Thanks hakana. I thought this is already how Emerald works... when I add an action to "change user group" the user get added to a new group, but is not removed from any group, eg. if the user is in Registered and I set Emerald action to add him to Paid Users, than he will be both in Registered and Paid Users. Am I missing something maybe?

nican Am I missing something maybe?

No. You are correct. Emerald attach new group to the user.
