thanks Chris.
I had a look at that those links and think I have applied everything correctly but still have problems. I am making use of ACL and the link says you need to pass your credentials to the rss reader as well to access. I do this as follows:
http://myserver/mydokuwiki/feed.php?u=me&p=mypassword&type=rss2&mode=recent&linkto=page
I get the feed titles displayed, but I still get problem where if I click on any of the titles to actually display the webpage I get that "permission denied. perhaps you forgot to login?" message.
Can anyone please advise how to resolve this?
I am using ShrapReader for my rss feeds.
Thanks.
