I'm back with another question, the good news is I'm almost finished with this beast.

One last thing . . . . how do I deny read access to anonymous viewers while keeping news topics visible with News 1.2 module? The idea is to give them a tidbit so they'll want to subscribe. I thought that I had this set up right at one point but it's not working this way now.

As usual I will worship the ground you walk on if you help me (eek I've been sitting here too long).

Thanks,
Gail

in admin news general configuration check "Restrict Topics on Index Page" and set it on yes if you want users cant see the topic in index page.then go to "Submit/Approve Permissions " and set viewable topics for anon.

Thank you for your reply but this did not answer my question.

How Do I Deny Read Access to Anonymous Viewers While Keeping Topics Visible?

I want anonymous viewers to see the all the Topics with "The Scoop" (or article synopsis) and when they click on "read more" they will get a message that says they don't have permission to access the article.

Your solution gives the anonymous reader the ability to read articles on whatever topics I give them permission to read. This is not the same thing.

Maybe it's not possible to do what I want to do with the News module.

Peace,
Gail

Problem solved! I changed the option News > Preferences > Restrict Topics on Index Page? from Yes to No and now it works exactly as I wanted it to.
