RSS Feed/News preDispatchController for public controllers

[ENXF NET]

protected function preDispatchController($action, ParameterBag $params)
    {
        $visitor = \XF::visitor();
        $auth = $visitor->Auth->getAuthenticationHandler();

        {
            return $this->noPermission();
        }
    }
