This hack does not let you choose which usergroups see what. You can set it show what they would normally see while browsing the forum. Like an admin can now see things only admins can read in RSS.

[quote]I don't want to show any rss feed for guests or regular members but only for a special usergroup.

I am having a serious blond moment I guess. LOL

Abe, you answered yes to the first question and no to mine LOL
What am I missing here? Is there some setting I have to set for each of the usergroups that I don't want to be able to see the RSS feed?

Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=YLP1;1458506]No.

Installed ... :up:

I hope this can do what I think it does ... :D

I'm just learning RSS, but I installed the Cinvin mod and I'm able to get feeds using the Tristana free RSS reader, but it was only getting threads that unregistered "guests" could view, even though Tristana allows the entry of a specific username and password for any given feed.

When I tried to add the feed of a forum that required a user to be registered, I would get this error from Tristana:

So, I just installed this mod here and now I get threads .... :up:

Even using this mod, I still can't get Yahoo to add threads from the same forum as it still gives me this error:

I'm not sure why Yahoo doesn't work and the free Tristana desktop program reader doesn, but at least I've made progress. :D

Any help or guidance as to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

Installed, works fine on a closed forum using vB 3.7 CR2 RSS Feed. I have finally succeeded in sending out my RSS Feed.

Thanks Abe1 :up:

This compliments my Site Map hack greatly. Thank you, sir. ;)

One question: If someone plays with the links long enough and can find a forumid that is not listed for them, they can subscribe to that RSS feed. I like being able to see all the feeds for whatever areas I am entitled to see, hidden or not, but I would rather not have everyone be able to subscribe to the feeds they can't see by playing with the links in the address bar. Is it possible to stop that?

Uninstalled since there seems to be no support.

Not sure what you mean exactly.

How about making those forums that are not listed not searchable? I don?t know if the RSS feed will get info from those.

Just a hint. :)

I want them to be searchable for anyone who has access to them and not for those that don't.

An example would be my Staff forum which is not open to the general public. When I use this mod, if they know the link to the Staff forums that can get a feed from it, even though they are not set up to view the forum.

All has to do with what you set. If you set to use the cookie, then they wont be able to. If you set the usergroup to be a high ranking one, then you are in trouble.

I have it set to use usergroup 1. I left the settings at the defualt on install.

Any word on what is happening with this?

If you set to usergroup 1, then they should not be able to see the restricted forums.

It is set to one and they can not see the restricted forums in the listing. But if they know the forumid of a restricted forum and enter the link in the address bar, they can view AND subscribe to a restricted forum.

Not if usergroup 1 can't see it.

Then I should use the usergroup setting and not the cookie override setting? Because at the default settings with the hack, that is how it worked on my site.

If you use the cookie override, only you will be able to subscribe to those areas. No-one that does not have permission will be able to.

Yes and when I logged out, I copied the link to the staff area in the address bar and it brought it all up on the page for me while seeing it as a guest.

Then something wrong with your the usergroup settings.

Is there any way to set this for a specific thread?

Is it even possible to set up an RSS feed for a thread?

What I want to do is export a thread via RSS and then import it into a Blogger account and have the account just update with the posts in that thread. The point of this is as a sort of fall-back site for when our server gets too busy due to a big news item, instead of users increasing our server load we can just point them to blogger.

Works well with CinVin's RSS Feeds.

Does this mod work with 3.7.3? If not any chance of it being made suitable for later vBull versions?

yes, it works

Sorry... wrong thread...

Deleted with apologies....

Is there a 3.6.8 version?

Does this mod work with 3.8?

Excelent!

Great man...

Yep started using it today works great

This version still seems to work on vB 4.0 :)

Now that is solid programming! Great mod!

is this hack 100% ready for vBulletin v4.0 ? are you sure ???

Yep, I'm using right now on a vB 4.0 PL1 installation. It works perfectly and plays nice with other plugins.

I can confirm it still works in vB4.1 installation.

vB 4.0.7 - yes!

Does this work with vb 4.2.X?

I believe its working in vb 4.2.3. I've had it so long I can't remember what it was installed for. LOL I think its working tho.
