Hello,

Only "Approved Users" (a new role I set up) should be able to view any pages of my site other than the Home page. I am just testing this, and as an un-approved user I used the search function to search for content. I found that if I search for items on the News pages, results are returned. I implemented a News page and sub-pages using the Blog module. The page containing the module itself has security set to "Approved Users only can view this page", but I can't see a way to do this for the detailed pages that sit below (i.e. if you click on a blog entry to get the full content) . I'd have thought there'd be a global setting across the Blog module? Anyway, this is a bit of security issue as some of the content on the blog pages is visible in the search results descriptions even though I only want Approved Users to be able to view them. Can you advise what I need to do to enforce the security on the blog pages?

Thanks,

Leah

Hi Joe,

I see what you are saying. I have actually tried to reproduce it and I think somehow one of my blog entries corrupted. This is because, producing a new blog item with exactly the same text and content (but different url), works as expected i.e. does not appear in search. However my original entry keeps appearing in the search, and if I click on the "read more" the page goes blank rather than display the rest of the content. So somehow it's gone wrong. I will just delete that one and create a new entry.

As to the security, it doesn't need to be super-tight in that it is a community website for my housing estate, it's just we don't want non-residents to be able to access the site.

Thanks,

Leah

Thanks, rebuilding the site index worked a treat!
