Hello,

I'd like to make the RSS feed I supply to list topics only. I know I can do that by passing commands to the PHP file.

This doesn't prevent someone from submitting their own commands to the file, right? That would defeat my topic only listing.

I have looked at the security permissions on this and I think you can turn off RSS or verify someone's ID.

Is there a way to have the board generate the RSS on its own with only the settings I want while disallowing access to people who submit their own settings?

Either modify the rss generation script to ONLY do what you want a create a simple page that would wrap around rss.php and only make it pass the arguments you want it to pass.

Thanks for the response.

Which script does that? Where is it located?

The page that did mine by default would still allow people to generate their own, though.

I think your suggestion of modifying the script is best. I took a look at the script and know nothing of php. Is it possible to comment out the lines that show anything but the title of the post?

The script is called rss.php.t and is located inside the src/ directory. I believe commenting out lines is a possible solution.
