    After reading some of the FAQ pages and some of this forum, it appears to me that the main function of amember is to protect at the directory level.

    Is there any way you can select pages individually instead of directories? The reason I ask is because many CMS such as Joomla have dynamic urls for their content pages and are not necessarily in any directory. How do I make content pages for 'public' and 'members' under this types of setup?

    With joomla, you use the built in content protection system of assigning users to either public, or subscriber groups.
    If you want to expand on these levels, you can use additional plugins like the JACL plugin.

    You can also hack the joomla code to use php_include to protect categories or sections of joomla content. I use the hack method for my own site, but for people not comfortable with that, I recommend the plugin method.

    I would be more than comfortable using the include method. Could you post what pages I can do this with? If protecting content at the granular page level was as simple as using an include function then that would be great!

    Also, how does amember protect at the directory level when you are using mod_rewrite on dynamic pages, does it get confused? In reality, mod_rewrite is not technically a physical directory but a redirect to a dynamic page.
