README

A Magento 2 extension to create flexible access restrictions for products, category pages, CMS pages, and CMS blocks, with customer group and store-scoped rules.

Description

ViraXpress_Restriction lets admins define restriction rules that control frontend user access and behavior based on:

Customer group
Store view(s)
Date range (start_at, end_at)
Restriction target types: products, categories, CMS pages, CMS blocks
Response action: show an error message or redirect URL

Active restrictions apply in real-time via frontend event observers.

Features

Admin UI under Stores > Manage Restriction > Restriction Rule
Enable/disable module globally via system configuration (VX Restriction > General > Enable Manage Restriction)
Create/ edit/ delete rule records in grid UI
Restrict by:
- specific products
- product categories (and filter product collections globally)
- CMS pages
- CMS blocks
Add-to-cart blocking for restricted product rules

Compatibility

Magento 2.4.x

Installation

Install the extension via Composer:
```
composer require viraxpress/restriction
```

Run the following commands from your Magento root directory:

php bin/magento module:enable ViraXpress_Restriction
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:flush

Usage

Configuration

Navigate to Stores > Configuration > VX Restriction > General and set Enable Manage Restriction to Yes.

Managing Restriction Rules

Go to Stores > Manage Restriction > Restriction Rule and click Add New Restriction Rule.

Set a title, date range, store view, and customer group for the rule.
Choose a response type — Error Message (with custom text) or Redirect (with a target URL).
Enable Restrict Products and select specific products.
Enable Restrict Categories to block access to category pages and filter their product collections.
Enable Restrict CMS Pages or Restrict CMS Blocks to hide specific pages or blocks.

How It Works

On each frontend request, observers check if the current customer's group matches an active rule within its date range and store view scope.
Exact product matches take priority over all wildcard matches.
On a match, the user is either shown an error message or redirected to the configured URL.
Disabling the module globally bypasses all observer checks without requiring rule deletion.
