External Data Provider Usergroup/Cookie Setting · **Released**: 09-18-2006

External Data Provider Usergroup/Cookie Setting 2.2

About this hack:
This hack allows you to set what usergroup external.php gets permissions from. This is a great hack for administrators who don't allow guests to view their forum. Using this hack you can set what usergroup it should get permissions from. I'm sure your users want RSS feeds!

There is now an option to have the browser look for cookies to get permissions from.

Administrators who allow guests to view their forum but with barley any permissions, this hack will also help you.

Doesnt work I set it to a usergroup and its still not working...

ibuddy · #14 10-18-2006, 11:53 PM

I would really like to get this working this is exactly what Im trying to do.

I have my forum only viewable to members. So I set the usergroup in External Data Provider to a usergroup # that could view all the forums. I went to my rss page and it didnt work, it was blank. I logged in as admin and went to the same rss page, and could see it. So this is not working unless I am not doing something??

Could this because Im using FPS_External Version: 2.00 to generate the RSS feeds and not external.php?

Any way I can test on your forum?

Try changing the order in which the plug-in run.

This is great! I was just getting ready to implement RSS feeds on my site, but we have one forum, that is restricted to members only, and a couple private forums for various groups. This solves the problem of being able to use those forums in an RSS viewer quite nicely. Thanks!

/installs

this is better than opening unregisterd usergroups up

Does this allow you to add multiple groups? I have several groups that need access.
