Please note that you can also use CBSubs protection and not need to rely on Joomla ACL to protect your content. Just install and enable the CBSubs COntent integration plugin (the cbsubpaidbot also needs to be present). Once installed your CBSubs plans will have 3 extra subtabs (COntent & Extensions) in the Integration tab. Here you can select which content this plan protects.
This is described in detail in the CBSubs manual - strongly suggest you spend some time reading - I know its big, but CBSubs is very powerful.
I can get the paid email confrimation/payment sandbox to function (activation/payment details) however the access level permissions are acting differently when assigned to a subscription.
Not sure what you mean by access permissions.
You can configure your CBSubs plan to automatically add a J25+ user to another ACL group upon subscription activation and remove user from this extra ACL group when subscription ends.
This is configured in the Workflow tab of your CBSubs plan.
I have restricted the subscriptions permission level at the category level (Paid vs Free)but 2 main issues
Not sure I understand what you mean here.
1.) CB subs will not move the user automatically into a group (paid/fee) based on their subscription choice- I can manaully switch in CBsubs into (paid/free) and levels work. Seems like they automatically inherent the ACl user group "public" after registering
If you have properly configured CBSubs workflow tab to add user to extra J25 ACL group and this is not working, then something is wrong. Please note that users are not switched - they will just be added to an extra group. So typically you should expect a new user that registers to a CBSubs plan that also is configured in the workflow to place user in another ACL group - this user will be placed in 2 groups (registered and whatever else you configured).
2.) Cannot get the account activation email to send for paid subscriptions. I can manually resend them and then activate it however the auto email only sends when a user selects a free sub. So a paid user doesnt get activation email and thus cant login (Thus lol)
When you say account activation email - what do you mean ? The CB email? Or something in CBSUbs?
I am trying to move a "paid" user into a "paid" permission level during registration but cannot get the right settings. Should I be using CB actions? if so, what is right action for Paid/free? Should it be creating or replacing groups? Has anyone done this with success? I can set up someone with login/password and donate a pint or 2 for solution
No need to use CB Actions for this.
I suggest you investigate letting CBSubs handle the access permissions instead of using Joomla ACL method. It has many advantages - for example CBSubs will automatically propose the plans that will unlock any access that is protected - this way you get nice marketing action calls directly on your site.
