get certain forums to NOT show up in the "new Posts" querey?

[kofoid]

How do you get a particular forum to NOT show up when a user click on "new posts?"

I think this may have to be a mod....

*** Untested ***

ALTER TABLE forum ADD ignoregnp TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'

forumdata_start

$this->validfields['ignoregnp'] = array(TYPE_BOOL, REQ_NO);


forumadmin_add_default

$forum['ignoregnp'] = 0;


forumadmin_edit_form

print_yes_no_row("Exclude this Forum from 'New Posts'", 'forum[ignoregnp]', $forum['ignoregnp']);


search_getnew_start

foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)
{
if ($forum['ignoregnp')
{
$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ",$forum[forumid]";
}
}


Or, if you want to give the users a choice whil forums they want to exclude, check my profile.

OK let me RE ASK the question so I don't get an answer like I did before. You specified code but I do not understand what should be changed or WHERE the code needs to be added. Can you or someone else help me to understand?

[Andreas]

The hook locations for the plugins are clearly pointed out in my previous post?

If you do not understand plugins, I suggest to read the manual:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/plugin_system

[kofoid]

OK I am really uncomfortable doing this, Although it would probably be easy for someone more experienced to handle. Any chance of someone creating a plugin for me? I will pay

Laura,

I'm not sure if you are aware of this but threads/posts in forums that are not visible to the end-user will not display when NEW POSTS is clicked.

Another thing you should try is ... not sure if this works with NEW POSTS
when editing a forum within ADMINCP/ Forums & Moderators disable INDEX NEW POST IN SEARCH ENGINE (this option will prevent anyone from being able to search in forum)

If this is not what you want ... I recommend following what ANDREAS mentioned above.

[kofoid]

Thanks Joe! I will give it a shot

Index New Posts in Search Engine does not have an effect on Get New 'Posts/Get Daily

*** Untested ***

search_getnew_start

foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)
{
if ($forum['ignoregnp')
{
$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ",$forum[forumid]";
}
}





there is a slight error in the Code above,


if ($forum['ignoregnp')

should be...

if ($forum['ignoregnp'])


apart from the small typo .... this works perfecty.

Thanks Andreas
