    Posted: 11 February 2007 at 4:44am
I'm working on a site for a small church/school. They want their forum to have areas which are accessible for viewing only for guests, for viewing and posting for members, and for more full control for admins and moderators.

They also want three "calendar forums" setup. One which is accessible/viewable by guests for general events, one accessible/viewable by members only, and one accessible/viewable by staff only.

I figured out how to do this with relative ease. However, is there a way to get a separate RSS feed to display for each level of membership.

From the main login, clicking the RSS link will display items posted in generally accessible public forums, but when a member or staff level person logs into a protected forum and clicks the link, they get no feed information at all.

Is this not possible, or am I being as clear as mud?  Confused

The problem with RSS Feeds at the present time is that it's not possible to make an RSS Feed which is private and works with all the various RSS Readers that are available.

Many of the RSS Readers do support HTTP Authentication, but this requires that you set passwords on the actual server. You then still need an RSS Reader which supports this.

At the present time, until some universally accepted way to create private RSS Feeds comes along, RSS Feeds can not be made private and are accessible to anyone with an RSS Reader.
