Specify what can be fed through RSS?

garvin · January 2007

In my project manager install, I have about 2-3 discussions (via whispers) per client. So, when a client logs in, all they see is those 2-3 discussions (seperated into 2 categories), then 2 other categories which they have read-only access to (announcements and documentation).

Because of this, I don't want to have an RSS feed link on the main index/discussions list. Nor do I want them to be able to feed any other category other then those 2 read-only categories. Instead, I'd only like them to be able to feed their client-specific discussions (vanilla/discussion/380/discussion-name/).

How would I go about doing this? I basically see it as hiding the CSS for index.php and categories.php, but showing it for specific discussion pages and for only the two categories that I want it to.

BTW <- Not a coder, so hold my hand, please.

This would also include the Discussion Overview area, as it doesn't work anyways, but I have it installed and would like to have it just not show up on that page.

TBH sounds like Vanilla needs a finer grained permissions more and more...

To prevent the RSS extension from working on the discussions page and the categories page:

// Normal extension file's headers go above this line
if ( ('index.php') != $Context->SelfUrl) || ('categories.php' != $Context->SelfUrl) ) {    // add this line after the headers

// extension's code goes in here

}   // add this line just before the end of the extension file
?>

Essentially all your doing is adding two lines, one for the IF, and one to hold the end curly bracket, which ends the if.
