How to properly setup menu item and CB Activity

I need to use only CB Activity and the user profile management features. I've configured Joomla user groups and access levels as follows:

• Registered
  • Active License
  • Expired License

When a user subscribes (I'm using Membership Pro), they are added to the Active License group. When the subscription expires, they are moved to the Expired License group. I also created the corresponding access levels.Here’s how I’d like the site to behave:

• In the main site menu, I want a "Community" button that links to the CB Activity → Recent Activity page, and make it visible to everyone (including Public).
• When a Public user or someone in the Expired License group accesses the page, they should not see the feed, but only a message like "Register to see the feed" (I can handle that with a module).
• If a user with an Active License accesses the page, they should see the full activity feed from all users (even non-friends) and be able to post/reply/comment, etc.

How can I correctly configure this setup? I’d also like to make sure that when a user is moved to the Expired License group, they stop receiving notifications and their profile becomes "frozen" until they reactivate their subscription.Thanks in advance!

Create 2 view access levels for your 2 different states. Example as follows.

Active License
- Active License
- Super Users
- Manager
- Administrator

Expired License
- Expired License
- Guest

Now create 2 different community menu items. 1 for CB Activity and set its access to Active License. Then 1 for your error page (e.g. Joomla article) and set it to Expired License.

Next in CB Activity > Streams edit the Recent Activity stream (or whatever stream your menu item is linking to) and set its access to Active License.

This would be substantially easier with CB Paid Subscriptions as you'd just protect the stream URL and it'd block access automatically and send them to subscribe.
