I want to start a very simple mobile daily horoscope website.
I imagine the following workflow :
* a user enters his username / password;
* based on his preferences he is shown a daily horoscope for his "real sign" and his "rising sign";
* he is not allowed to see anything else
Since this will be a mobile site and it will be content only with very small graphics ( if any ), I am thinking of the following scheme :
* I will create 144 user groups ( 12 signs x 12 rising signs )
* I will assign the users to one of these groups based on their preferences
I will create modules for 12 signs and 12 upper signs.
These modules will be fed from 12 articles that are retrieved from categories. I will place a number timed articles so that only one article will be active during the day; each article will last only during that specific day; so the modules will retrieve only one article at any given time.
So, here comes the hard part.
I need to assign a sign module and a rising sign module to each of those 144 user groups. If I can do that, then when a user enters the site with his credentials, then he will be able to see the correct page for his group.
Now the big question :
If I use Joomla 1.6 ; how can I do this using new ACL mechanism ?
Or, will it be better if I use Joomla 1.5 and use these extensions ?
