Public RSS feeds?

Post by dbc001 »

How do I get my Mantis RSS feeds to be publicly viewable? They're requiring a login... (I'm using Mantis 1.1.0)

Thanks in advance!

You should enable an anonymous account (I guess).
Want more plugins to customize Mantis?

That worked - thanks!

I found instructions for enabling anonymous access here: http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/m ... ous_access

1. Create a user account
- Name: typically “anonymous” or “guest”.
- Real Name: leave empty.
- Email: anonymous@localhost (or leave empty if you also set $g_allow_blank_email = ON).
- Access Level: Typically viewer or reporter depending on the requirement.
- Enabled: true
- Protected: true
2. Provide the account with access to the necessary “private” projects. The anonymous user will automatically get access to “public” projects.
3. Set the following configuration options in config_inc.php.

# --- anonymous login -----------
$g_allow_anonymous_login = ON;
$g_anonymous_account = 'anonymous';

# Optionally, if you want to use blank email addresses
$g_allow_blank_email = ON;

$g_anonymous_account = 'anonymous'; only if the name of the account is 'anonymous'. Otherwise if the name is 'guest', it must be 'guest', mustn't it ?
