Hello all

Hope someone here can please help me , I recieved some help from Steve and Zac over at vb.com see this thread http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...0&goto=newpost

It looks like because I am not allowing guests to read my forum I can't stream RSS feeds to my existing registered members. All I get from my output is a blank page.

Can any of you kind folk give me any ideas to how I can allow this on my forum please, is there an existing hack or mod out there already please?

Thank you

Stu

Well the easy way woudl be to allow guests to view posts

just to be honest.

Hello Zac

Wish it was that easy, my forum has information thats not high security but the members would rather it not be made public.

Any other ideas?

Help, has no one else has this type of situation with there forum?

This would be a nice hack to have. Don't know how easy it'd be to do but would be nice if it could be done.

I'm wondering the same thing. I found the section of external.php that I think is handling that, but I don't know much about PHP.

Anyone have any ideas to "fake out" external.php to think it is being run by a particular user or usergroup?

I'd like to make external.php believe it is either a user called "RSS" or has the same access as the usergroup "Registered User".

Does anyone have any ideas how to hack external.php to do this?

I am also pretty interested in allowing registered members to read the forums that they have permission to see on the website via RSS.

If anyone has a solution I would love to hear about it

Thanks,

Thanks,

I do not believe RSS has support for cookies, and neither do most RSS feeder programs that I am aware of.

Maybe I'm wrong

So then the only options I have are:

1) allowing guests to read the forums
2) not having a RSS feed

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the fast reply as well
