Joomdle allowing unauthorized access to course was created by D Barnhart
Joomdle r0.95
Joomla 3.2.2
Moodle 2.4
I just updated my joomdle and joomla. Most of my site is restricted to paid members. When they register and pay they are put into the correct user group and then they have access to the full site including the moodle course. If they register but do not pay they do not have access to the full site and they do not have access to the moodle course. One of my main menu items is a joomdle course list. Joomla does not show this menu item to members who have not paid. But if I link to that menu item in a module, then members who have not paid are able to access that page and enroll/enter into the moodle course. See attached pic. Joomla correctly gives an error but joomdle still allows access. If a non-paying member tries to access other areas of the site that are not part of joomdle/moodle they are not allowed.
How can I fix this so that a non-paying member cannot access the menu item joomdle course list through a link from a module? Thank you for the help.

As far as I know, this is how it is supposed to work.
I did a test with a Joomla article: created a link to it, set it to special, logged as not special user, and pasted the link on address bar. I got the error message, as well as the article (as the article itself is set to public).
With Joomlde it is the same, but there is no "content" to set permissions to: course listings are available to everyone, what you should restrict is enrolment.
What software are you using for subscriptions? If it has a Joomdle integration, you should use it to enrol users in courses, and then set all your courses to not be auto-enrolable or with guest access (I don't know how your users are enroling into the courses now)
