limit media access to registered users was created by Sori
Hi,
I want to give incentive to my viewers to register on my website. So I want to limit the access of media files to registered users only. How is that possible?

Thanks a lot,
Sohrab

Hello,

You can use Joomla!'s user object in order to alter your template overrides and hide certain parts.
docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object

There are also several examples in this forum on how to hide the fulltext, the same principle applies to all content elements.

Hello Krikor,

Thanks for your reply. I read that Joomla doc article but still have no clue. I searched this forum for how to limit full article access but couldn't find it, unfortunately. are there any keywords you may suggest?

I implemented this code in the template but it didn't work. it still shows the video block:
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser(); ?>
		<?php if ($user->guest); ?>{
	<?php echo "<p>You must login to see the content. I want your email address.</p>"; ?>
        } else {
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideo') && !empty($this->item->video)): ?>
	<!-- Item video -->
	<a name="itemVideoAnchor" id="itemVideoAnchor"></a>
	<div class="itemVideoBlock">
		<h3><?php echo JText::_('K2_MEDIA'); ?></h3>

		<?php if($this->item->videoType=='embedded'): ?>
		<div class="itemVideoEmbedded">
			<?php echo $this->item->video; ?>
		</div>
		<?php else: ?>
		<span class="itemVideo"><?php echo $this->item->video; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCaption') && !empty($this->item->video_caption)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCaption"><?php echo $this->item->video_caption; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCredits') && !empty($this->item->video_credits)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCredits"><?php echo $this->item->video_credits; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<div class="clr"></div>
		}
		?>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

The else statement isn't functional.

I solved it.
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser(); ?>
		<?php if($user->guest): ?>
	<?php echo "<p>You must login to see the content. I want your email address.</p>"; ?>
        <?php else: ?>
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideo') && !empty($this->item->video)): ?>
	<!-- Item video -->
	<a name="itemVideoAnchor" id="itemVideoAnchor"></a>
	<div class="itemVideoBlock">
		<h3><?php echo JText::_('K2_MEDIA'); ?></h3>
		<?php if($this->item->videoType=='embedded'): ?>
		<div class="itemVideoEmbedded">
			<?php echo $this->item->video; ?>
		</div>
		<?php else: ?>
		<span class="itemVideo"><?php echo $this->item->video; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCaption') && !empty($this->item->video_caption)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCaption"><?php echo $this->item->video_caption; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCredits') && !empty($this->item->video_credits)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCredits"><?php echo $this->item->video_credits; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<div class="clr"></div>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

Thanks,
The problem now is that even for items that don't have a media it shows up.

This check, makes sure that a video exists and it is set to "Show"
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideo') && !empty($this->item->video)): ?>
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser(); ?>
<?php if($user->guest): ?>
// Code for the public
<?php else :?>
	<!-- Item video -->
	<a name="itemVideoAnchor" id="itemVideoAnchor"></a>
	<div class="itemVideoBlock">
		<h3><?php echo JText::_('K2_MEDIA'); ?></h3>
		<?php if($this->item->videoType=='embedded'): ?>
		<div class="itemVideoEmbedded">
			<?php echo $this->item->video; ?>
		</div>
		<?php else: ?>
		<span class="itemVideo"><?php echo $this->item->video; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCaption') && !empty($this->item->video_caption)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCaption"><?php echo $this->item->video_caption; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCredits') && !empty($this->item->video_credits)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCredits"><?php echo $this->item->video_credits; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<div class="clr"></div>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

So you need to refactor a bit
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideo') && !empty($this->item->video)): ?>
...
<?php endif; ?>
