The new com_civiuser component for validating Joomla registrations against CiviCRM contacts is now available. Component com_civiuser and the associated module mod_civilogin are replacements for the standard Joomla user and login items that work with CiviCRM to only allow users to register if they have a matching (firstname, lastname and email) contact record in CiviCRM andoptionally meet other criteria.
This is an Alpha release - it has NOT been extensively tested and should not be used on a live site without first testing in your environment. Check the ReadMe in the package before installing. Download the files here : NB this version does not check membership status in CiviMember - you can only validate against membership of CiviCRM groups. The groups are set in a parameter on the backend using the Group IDs defined in CiviCRM. You can specify multiple groups by entering the ids as a comma separated list - if the contact belongs to any one of the groups in the list they will be allowed to register. If you include a group id value of '0' in the list then group checking is disabled. You might also want to instal Henry Butcher's authentication plugin which will then ensure that only users whose membership is still valid can log in. I have adapted this to use a the same group membership validation as an alternative to CiviMember. You can download my adapted version here: civicrm_authentication_plugin_v1.1.0.zip and more details are in the CiviCRM wiki here
