I'm currently making a custom module, and I would like CBSubs to control access to it. Basically, I'd be selling subscriptions to daily trade signals that would be sent via SMS or email to users. There will be multiple different signals, say 10 of them, and the users pay monthly for access to whichever ones they choose. Can I control the subscription to these signals in the signal module via CBSubs?
And by module above I mean component. I need to know if CBSubs natively can control access to different aspects of my custom component? I understand that I can have it send up to 5 SQL statements, so I suppose I could edit the CB User database that way to flag which of these signals they have subscribed to, but that seems longwinded and I may encounter problems if I am truly limited to 5 SQL statements...
You can control various aspects of a component if the access to that aspect is done via a URL as you can protect urls using "By URL Part"; example: option=com_mycomponent&task=new
You could also protect the entire component or the entire module as a whole restricting access to it entirely by subscription.
I do not know how your custom develop functions exactly so I can't comment specifically, but you can also query the subscriptions database if you want to design your component/module with CBSubs in mind.

So long as I can execute sql queries with CBSubs upon plan activation/expire then I should be in the clear. It's nice to know that I can restrict certain views as well via URL. Thanks!
