I would like to have a membership website and some of the directory listings, which are managed by Mosets Tree, are for members only. How can I achieve that?

Sell membership and allow only members to access the directory listings through Mosets Tree

What you need to achieve this:
1. Membership Control version 4.0 - GBP 59.00
2. Mosets Tree - Membership Control Addon -- Free

Membership Control verssion 4.0 can be downloaded from here: Download
Mosets Tree - Membership Control Addon can be downloaded from here: Download.

Instructions

After you install the Membership Control component by following this instruction, please install the Mosets Tree Addon by going to Joomla Backend --> Components --> Open Source MSC --> Addon Management --> Browse --> browse the "MSC_Addon/mtree.zip" in your Mosets Tree Addon Zip package.
You will then see the following screen when you install it successfully

After that, you will need to install the updater component. Please go to Joomla Backend --> Extensions --> Install / Uninstall --> Browse the Updater component (Patch Pack\Updater\com_updater_ddmmyy.zip) in your Membership Control zip pack.
After installing the Updater component, please go to Joomla Backend --> Components --> Updater --> Browse the file "Mtree_Update_Pack\mtree.zip" in your Mosets Tree Addon zip Package.
You will see the following page, please select the package and click the upgrade button.

Once installed successfully, please go to Components --> Open Source MSC --> Click the "Configuration" link of one of your membership, you will see the Mosets Tree Categories Management available for configurations:

After clicking into the Mosets Tree Categories Management link, you will see all Mosets Tree categories which you have created in Mosets Tree. Please select the categories you would like to control and click the save button on your top right corner:

Make sure that you have selected at least one member in the Configurations --> Joomla Access Control --> Members section.

Let's go to the frontend and see how it works
Now access to your login page by entering this link: www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=layout. Please login as a user that is not in the membership/group.In our case, we login as the "test" user.
After logging into the website, please go to Mosets Tree from frontend by entering this link: www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_mtree.
Try to browse the listing in the directory that is under control:

After you click the listing link, you will be redirected to the Membership Subscription page:

Now, in order let the user "test" to be able to edit the categories in JEvents, please go to Membership Management --> Configurations --> Joomla Access Control --> Members Section, add the user "test" to the membership.

Now the test user will be able to view the listing details from Mosets Tree in the frontend.

That's it!
