I don't want anybody to have access to RSS and/or podcasts but I'd like to use RSS feeds and/or podcasts to inform forum members when new attachments have been added to various forums.
I presently send emails to members but perhaps RSS and/or podcasting would be more efficient.
I have one download attachment forum that contains sub-forums for various pdf documents.
I'm running latest vBulletin.
Questions:
1) Do forum permission settings automatically determine who receives RSS feeds and podcasts? If not, how do I restrict feeds/podcasts to members only?
2) If I list the main download forum only in the podcast/rss feed will vBulletin automatically search then feed/podcast attachments in sub-forums? If yes, please provide example of how to. If no, do I have to list each sub-forum as a separate RSS feed and/or podcast?
3) Should I just stick with using emails to members for updates of new magazines?
If you wish to see what I mean by my main forum and sub-forums visit Puzzles Magazine forum here (http://www.punzhu.com/forums/index.php).
Thanks in advance.
