Description

We just updated our tikiwiki from 6.2 to 8.3 and came across a difficulty when viewing the rss-seed of tracker items. We cloned the database and have not changed anything about permissions, but it seems that only people from a certain group (and admin) can view the rss seed of the tracker while logged in, while others can't. This wasn't previously the case.

We kept the old wiki (6.2) and the tracker rss seed works. See for the example:
http://www.svi.nl/tikiold/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=5Question

The rss tracker in the new wiki doesn't. See:
http://www.svi.nl/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=5Question

Both have a different database, but they are identical. Also all the permissions concerning trackers are identical.

Is this a bug or has the functionality of the tracker changed? Tried to search in the tikiwiki and bug-reports but couldn't find anything.

EDIT: Apparently this wasn't working in 6.2 either but we created a workaround for it, which also seem to work for 8.3 (see below).

Solution
Workaround

Disable the permissions check starting at line 1201 in <tikiroot>/lib/trackers/trackerlib.php

Change:

Copy to clipboard
if ($needToCheckCategPerms) {
       $ret1 = $this->filter_categ_items($ret1);
}


To:

Copy to clipboard
#if ($needToCheckCategPerms) {
#       $ret1 = $this->filter_categ_items($ret1);
#}
