Recently I've moved my Askbot instance to a subdirectory of Apache (myhost.com/qa). After performing some editing in askbot's setting.py file, the site looks good.

However, when I enable private forum mode ( Admin > Access control settings > Allow only registered user to access the forum = True ). I couldn't access the website.

For every page I tried to access, it redirects me to 404 not found page. It seems to me that the login page /qa/account/signin/?next=/qa/ is somehow protected by unauthorized users. My guest is when develop the subdirectory mode, somehow the login page is not taken into account.

Could you please help? Thanks. My Askbot version is 0.7.48

Hello, I have a private Askbot forum. There's a demand to use RSS feed, but since the site is private, it requires username password in order to access the RSS url, which is http://mysite.com/feeds/rss/?

I also tried to use the following scheme http://username:password@mysite.com/feeds/rss/? but it seems that the code doesn't support.

So my thought is to exclude the RSS urls entirely from authentication ( I understand the risk but it's OK). What's is the correct way to do this?

Many thanks,

I've been using askbot for a while and feel extremely happy with it. However, it comes to a point where I need some customization, for example:

• Change existing Askbot Javascript code
• Add new custom javascript file to the site
• Change some UI-wise feature (add small description to the homepage)
• Add new functionality: add invite to answer feature
• Integrate search with Lucene to search inside comment, uploaded files, etc.

So, my thought is to fork Askbot and develop on a independent source branch myself. I can pull changes from the original source if you have any update later.

In the documentation, you mentioned about setting up a development environment:

python setup.py develop #the develop option will not install askbot into the python site packages directory

but is this the correct way if I want to deploy the source code to production server? (You're using pip install askbot to deploy it to production, which is great, but how can I create the package from the source code in git). Is there any kind of developer guide for kick-starting my askbot development (I'm very new to Python/Django development)?

When I try to upload files to the website, It forces me to choose one of the image format (jpq, png, etc.) So the question is, is there some hidden configuration somewhere that loosen the restriction? I want to allow freely upload to the site

C:\fakepath\Lighthouse.jpg

@Evgeny: I can only upload files that has predefined image extensions: (.pgn, .jpg, etc.). Can I change the file extension somewhere in the admin module?

Stated in the title. I want to restrict anonymous users from viewing the question, or the whole website. Is it possible?
