[drupal-support] private but unprotected blogs

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Eric,

I am running several class sites using a standard install of Drupal with 
the taxonomy access control module, and I don't have this issue. I have 
configured the site so anonymous users can't see any student generated 
content. When the anonymous user types in "http://site.org/blog/x", they 
see the person's username, but none of their blog posts. One way around 
your current situation would be to use the taxonomy access control 
module to place further limits on the anonymous user, and hopefully to 
counteract the effect of the bug.

Also, if you are interested, I have made a pre-configured version of 
this site (the database dump, core drupal, and a few contributed 
modules) available for download on my web site: 
http://www.funnymonkey.com/configured-site

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Bill.
