If you're OK tomodify this code then you may add the following line:

$this->aCurrent['restriction'] ['public'] => array('value' => BX_DOL_PG_ALL, 'field' => 'allow_view_to', 'operator' => '=');

after this one:

if(!empty($aParams['per_page'])) $this->aCurrent['paginate']['perPage'] 

that worked great, but I had to put it in the else statement to allow owners to view their non-public posts.
