Use CB subs to give users permissions

I need to do the following:

-users in my community must not be able to view each other's profiles, unless they are premium members (subscribers with CBsubs)
-users in my community must not be able to write to each other, even if they can see a profile (suggested by an automatic system) unless they are premium members

Given this:
-how much of this can be done with CBsubs?
-where do i have to place my custom code to prevent users from writing each other (or similar functions)
-does CBsubs add an user group to joomla?

Thanks in advance.

-users in my community must not be able to view each other's profiles, unless they are premium members (subscribers with CBsubs)

This can be done to an extent by hiding various fields or tabs based off subscription, but hiding entire profiles is not possible (unless you protect all tabs I suppose).

-users in my community must not be able to write to each other, even if they can see a profile (suggested by an automatic system) unless they are premium members

If using a PMS such as UddeIM this could certainly be done by protecting the UddeIM extension via your plans.

-how much of this can be done with CBsubs?

All of it to an extent.

-where do i have to place my custom code to prevent users from writing each other (or similar functions)

No custom code needed.

-does CBsubs add an user group to joomla?

Yes, on J1.5; currently there is a bug regarding this on J1.6.

My answer to this question is that CBSubs does not need to create or add users to Joomla user groups - it has its own built in ACL system.

Hiding some tabs will be enough, thank you.


Just another question:

i created an user suggestion module, which adds records with the user-id and the suggested user-id in a table.
users (even subscribers) must not be able to see a profile (not even a part) unless there's a record in the suggestions table with his user-id and the user-id of the profile he's trying to see.

This time i think i'll need some coding.
Where do i place my custom code?

This is not something CB or frankly any of our integrations can do. You'd need to develop a custom integration using triggers to check your database before profile visibility and redirect if needed. Please see the below tutorial regarding trigger usage.
