That should be relatively straightforward to do. I’m a little bit busy at the moment but give me a couple of days or so and I’ll sort something out for you.
Any clues how this can be updated such that content can still be previewed (e.g. list of articles, search results), but will be protected when user tries to view the entire article? User will then be prompted to login.

Hi Allanctan,
I’m afraid that this extension was not designed with that sort of functionality in mind. When I have some time I may look at this kind of feature but at the moment that would require a major rewrite and is tricky anyway because of things like the custom fields.
... how easy it would be to turn around the functionality so that instead of telling it which user groups can’t see an entry, instead you would tell it which can see the entry.
The only reason I ask is that if you had say 50 user groups (overkill I know) and you wanted to say only three of them could have access then you are going to have to do a lot of clicking for each entry!! :-D
Just wondering how easy it would be to change the extension to do that?
Hi Mark,
I haven’t forgotten you. Just been very busy on other stuff!
This is a great extension which I’ve used successfully. However, there’s one thing in the Pings tab that drives me insane, when you click the Select all pings choice it shows this text:
Select all weblogs. If you choose this setting then even if you create new weblogs the Groups tab will be available. This setting will override the individual selections below.
I know that’s not how it’s supposed to work, so I did a bit of digging through the PHP and no luck on where to edit and there’s no specific message echo for select all in the Publish tab. *sighs* What to do?
Hi Dry,
This seems exactly what I was a looking for.
One question: is there any experience with combining it with the Multiple Site Manager MSM?
I would like to use it for site 1, and would like to avoid that site 2 is harmed.

I’m afraid I’ve not tested it with the MSM and I suspect that it might not work correctly since I made no provision for site number checking. I’ll add this to my list of things to do!
does this currently or is it possible to get this extension to work with the gallery module? have the ability to restrict access to galleries or gallery categories would be great.
It appears LG Better Meta and Restricted entries don’t play well together. When I enable Better Meta and create or edit an entry - the groups tab (restricted entries) doesn’t function properly. If you click the Groups tab, it disappears. You have to refresh the page it comes back. If I disable the LG Better meta tool, restricted entries works again. I have added a message to the LG Better meta thread.
Great extension. This is almost exactly what I have been looking for, although - like Mark - I need it to work the other way round. I have a lot of member groups, but only one or two will be granted access to each entry.
Also I think I’d need Quick Save to work before letting clients loose on it.
Anyway, I’d be happy to pay real money for these features, Drylouvre. What do you say?!
