Now, there are Joomla extensions that will close off different parts of the site to different groups of users, but this member wanted something different. They wanted to drill down much more accurately and show different content to different individual users, even within one article.
To do this you need the "inline ACL Content Plugin" and here's how you use it.
Install inline ACL Content Plugin
Visit the inline ACL page on http://extensions.joomla.org. Click "Download" to go to the developer's site and find the file. Download the file to your desktop.
In your Joomla administrator area, go to Extensions >> Plugin Manager and enable the plugin.
Different Content to Different Joomla Users
In order to test out the inline ACL plugin, I went to Site >> User Manager and create three different users. Take note of their username and also their number in the right-hand column called "ID". You'll be able to use either the username or the ID# to show users different content:
Create The Content For Each User
Go to Content >> Article Manager and open up and article that you want to place content inside.
Use this formula for the code:
When the "testa" signs in, they will see "Hi testa!". When "testb" signs in, they will see "Hi testb!" and so on.
You can also do this by using the ID#s:
When the user with ID# 62 signs in, they will see "Hi testa!". When the user with ID# 63 signs in, they will see "Hi testb!" and so on.
If you want to show content only to unregistered users, use this:
