In order to provide external feeds to my user, I have made RSS Feeds icons available in my forum using this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225492


This normally results in a link like this when the mouse is over the link: http://www.myforum.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=100

However, clicking on this link results in a blankpage. And yes all my settings are at ON in adminCP fo External data in VB options...

What's the problem?

If trying to view the feed as a guest.... have you reviewed your forum permissions?

This is exactly the problem. I found why in here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=195487

What about if I don't want my guests to view anything on my forum. I have a private forum where I don't want anybody to see the content if they are not registered but I wanna feed my members...

I guess this needs a mod... I find strange that there isn't an option in vBulletin itself for this.

However I see a problem. Using an external reader, if the Feeds are not opened to guests how can they see the Feeds because they would need to be logged in s a user... Are there any Feed Readers software allowing this?
