Hi Jan,
Is the a way to avoid people to access directly to a category by URL ?
By example :
https://carnaval-spc.fr/medias/2020-52/ ... -la-soiree
Here the category is accessible by the menu and the list of categories view so it's OK
https://carnaval-spc.fr/medias/2020-52/ ... -la-parade
Should be not allowed as it is not accessible by the list of categories or the menu
Direct access to category

Re: Direct access to category
Hi, where did you set the access rights - for menu link or for category?

Re: Direct access to category
Hi,
i did not touch the access right.
I will try to clarify the point :
It is not possible for a normal user to go the page of the 2nd URL by navigating thru the site. It's only possible by creating manually the URL.
https://carnaval-spc.fr/medias/2020-52/ ... -la-parade
and i would like to block this type of URL, not created by the user surfing on the site.

Re: Direct access to category
Hi, in Joomla you have different access rights:
- Menu link - if you protect some menu link, then data in the menu link which are accessible through another type of link will be accessible (it depends on used Itemid - if the link will use still the same Itemid, then it will be protected, if another Itemid then not) Itemid is the ID of menu link
- Category access rights - if you set access rights for category, then images inside this category will be not displayed - even you can access the category view per different menu links, menu types, etc. When the system should display Category A (it does not matter which link) and it is protected, then the items from this category will be not displayed.
