          Description

          The RSS feed link, on frontpage site news block throws an error if you are not logged in. But if you use the RSS feed directly from the forum it works fine. I´ve tested this issue on a 2.1.4 version, also you can check it on moodle.org.

                Thanks for reporting that.

                I'm not sure it's necessary, but it might help if you could translate the error reported.

                Well, thanks to my former colleague Paul Verrall at LUNS, I now understand what the cause of this is. Its relating to the front page news block using 0 as the RSS feed url, rather than the siteguest.

                I've fixed this, as noted the userid when not logged in needs to be the site guest rather than '0'.

                The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.

                TIA and ciao

                cool, integrated into 22, 23 and master now.

                ps: some permissions testing within test here could be extra fun here.
