Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall when you don't use it any longer!

This Hack is unsupported! All support requests except proven bugs will be ignored

[Christine]

Interesting. :D

Will load and test tomorrow.

Thanks!!

[shiva]

Thank you! Much needed feature.

[flup]

Nice one, won't use it though but still a nice hack!

[Intex]

Nice work KirbyDE. Might this work with 3.0.x ?

[Andreas]

No. This Hack is only compatible with vBulletin 3.5

[Chris M]

Nice hack Kirby :)

A much needed feature for vB3.5 ;)

Satan

[Chris M]

I have detected a vital flaw ;)

If you select a forum, and no longer wish to ignore it, and do not wish to ignore any other forums, you cannot deselect the forum - You can merely select another forum to ignore, but this is of no use if you want to be able to see all forums ;)

We need a "None" option which is the default option :)

Satan

[Andreas]

Hmm, might be a browser issue, but I can deselect every entry in the list - even if it is just one:
Hold down Ctrl and click the Forum.

I am using Mozilla Firefox.

[Chris M]

Strange - It wouldn't work for me until I re-started my machine - Must be IE being buggy again...

Worked in Firefox though :)

Still - A "None" option would be useful as most users probably won't know how to Ctrl + Click to remove the selection ;)

Remember - Over 70% of web-browsing people are "dumb" :p

Satan

[Andreas]

:)
OK, gonna add a None-Entry, even though it is not really necessary ;)

[Andreas]

Update
None added

[RCK]

Congratulation for this *excellent* hack !
I'm very impressed, this should be native in vB !

Best regards.

[Christine]

Just readded this to the new box. Working great. :)

Should this be classified as an extension or a plugin as there are no external file additions?

[Andreas]

Extension as it comes with a Bitfield XML.

[Christine]

[brief derail]

Plugin: plugin xml, template changes and/or dB changes
Extension: could include plugin, dB, template, but adds bitfields and/or new files
Coding mods: php mods (plus any of the above)

???

[Andreas]

What do you not understand in regards of this classification?

[Biker_GA]

Very nice Kirby! Definitely one my users will appreciate, especially when they're goofing off from work. :D

[Christine]

I am not 'not' understanding -- it was o/t asking for clarification. :p

[akanevsky]

Hmm... This is kind of a port of my hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79883), isn't it? In that case, you should have made a whole port, rather than porting just a part of the hack.

[Andreas]

Didn't even know of your Hack when I made this one :)
Sorry.

[akanevsky]

Nah, as long as your hack works and does something that is somewhat close to mine, it's ok. Still, why don't you add forum filter to this hack? :P Because if not, I'll have to port my own version ://

[MJM]

Will be installing after upgrade. Thanks for providing this!

This will help make members visits more enjoyable by giving them the option removing uneccessary `clutter'.

Is each forum selected individually or is it a check list?

I see hide New Posts per forum as a separate issue to Dark Visors - Hide forums.

Our members already have the ability to expand/contract selected Forum/subforums. They may wish to spend more time at `the board' at other times when they have time, but KirbyDe's mod is especially helpful for busy members on the go.

Mark

[ConqSoft]

GREAT JOB!

I've been asking for this feature in vBulletin for a LONG time. Glad someone did it!

Thanks!

[ConqSoft]

One suggestion: A way to remove a forum(s) from the list. Example: I don't want users to be able to opt out of my News/Announcements forum.

[Andreas]

ACP / Forums & Moderators / Forum Permissions / Edit / Forum Searching Permissions / Can exclude Forums from "Get New Posts" = No
:)

[ConqSoft]

Duh. Thanks. :)

[xxskullxx]

Nice. Thank Kirby :)

[Christine]

So, when is this going to be installed here? :D

[Andreas]

Updated for RC1

[ConqSoft]

What changed? ie, What do we need to do if we had this installed, then upgraded to RC1?

[Andreas]

Nothing changed, just the Installer :)

[ConqSoft]

Yes, I found out. :D I went ahead and removed the old hooks/etc, and reinstalled it so it would be grouped with the Product correctly. Nice job! Thanks!

[Boofo]

I just installed this and it didn't seem to install the phrases. There are no words showing up for the options.

[Andreas]

Hmm, it should.
How exactly did you install it?

[Boofo]

Hmm, it should.
How exactly did you install it?

Exactly like you said to in the instructions. The option doesn't show up in the user cp at all. But maybe I need to enable forums first? Also, when I import the xml, the listing shows a blank spot with no words at the top. Do the bitfields need to be cached again for this to work?

[Andreas]

I have to repeat my question:
How exactly did you install this, though ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products / Import Product?

[Boofo]

I have to repeat my question:
How exactly did you install this, though ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products / Import Product?

Ok, I did upload Plug-in. I didn't quite understand the import part of it. It is working now. Maybe you should put the above in the text file for those of us that are still new to the ways on import/uploading plug-ins? ;)

Thank you, sir. ;)

[Andreas]

Well, the file is clearly labled as product, therefor it should be obvious that it must be imported as a Product :)

[Boofo]

Well, the file is clearly labled as product, therefor it should be obvious that it must be imported as a Product :)

True, but until you told me that, I had no idea I could do it that way, or should do it that way. I thought Upload Plug-ins was the only way to do it. Since the plug-ins system is still new to alot of vber's, I'm sure someone else will be making the same mistake I did. ;)

[Biker_GA]

Kirby, I've run into a little issue with this one. Not all forums are showing up.

I have a forum that's not visible to all users and you have to be assigned to a specific group in order to view it. The users in that group cannot see the forum in the opt out list.

It's in my list, however, it isn't showing for the users in the group that has access to it.

[Andreas]

Hmm ... it should show all Forums where you have canview AND cansearch AND canoptout Permission AND have Password (if there is any) AND are active AND have displayorder set.

Do all these conditions apply?

[Neal-UK]

Hmm ... it should show all Forums where you have canview AND cansearch AND canoptout Permission AND have Password (if there is any) AND are active AND have displayorder set.

i can't find the settings in admin cp and when i click new posts, it just brings me all new posts, no options

[Boofo]

i can't find the settings in admin cp and when i click new posts, it just brings me all new posts, no options

Check your user cp options. ;)

[Neal-UK]

Check your user cp options. ;)

ah har, thanks for that, nice hack.

[Boofo]

ah har, thanks for that, nice hack.

Duh? LOL

[Biker_GA]

Hmm ... it should show all Forums where you have canview AND cansearch AND canoptout Permission AND have Password (if there is any) AND are active AND have displayorder set.

Found the problem..

I went into the forum permissions and found that it was automatically set to "No." Turned it on and the users can now see it in their list.

Since this is a "special" forum, and not all users can see it, is that why it didn't show up for those that have access to it?

[Neal-UK]

Duh? LOL

Yes, I do feel silly https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/08/16.gif

[Boofo]

Yes, I do feel silly http://www.burnleyweb.com/forum/images/smilies/animated/caked.gif

I was just razzing you. I have been there and done that. ;)

[Andreas]

@Biker_GA
Yes, the Permissions/Options must be set properly otherwise it will not show up.
As the Forum used to have customized Permissions before this Hack was added, the Bit was set to Zero.

[Biker_GA]

Gotcha. Good thing to know. :)

[mvigod]

Does anyone think this interface to select forums is better/worse than the methodology used by Dark Visor's hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79883)?

**INSTALLED**

[Boofo]

Definately better. ;)

[akanevsky]

Yes, this is definitely better. And was easier to make than my hack... :)

The only thing, though, this won't exclude forums from forum view, like my hack does. Fix it please?

[ConqSoft]

I actually like that the forums are still visible in the Forums View, and in normal searches. It just blocks them from Today's Posts/New Posts.

[Andreas]

The only thing, though, this won't exclude forums from forum view, like my hack does. Fix it please?
Why should I fix smth. that ain't broken ;)

Hiding Forums from Forumdisplay was never intended for this Hack.
Or in other words: It's working as designed.

[Biker_GA]

LMAO! It's not a bug.. It's a feature!

[Christine]

Definitely better -- and just what I was looking for. Users like familiarity and this works just like the search feature.

:)

I've just upgraded the forum to rc2 not I get this, I sorted it before but I can't find the solution today, my head is up my ****

sorted, just reverted the modifyoptions template and added the code back in, wonder why it didnt work though...??

[Andreas]

Don't know, should survive the Upgrade without Problems, but I didn't test this yet.

[Biker_GA]

Kirby, after the upgrade, users are getting this when clicking on "Edit Options" in the UserCP. Error goes away when I uninstall the plugin. (And yes, I've totally removed it and attempted to reinstall. Same error.)

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fetch_optout_forumids_array() (previously declared in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/profile.php(873) : eval()'d code:1) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/profile.php(873) : eval()'d code on line 67

Nevermind. Got it fixed.

When I uninstalled the product, the plugin was still listed in the plugin manager. I removed those, reinstalled, and it appears to be working now.

[Andreas]

You must have had the Plugin installed twice ...

[Biker_GA]

At 1am in the morning? That's entirely possible! LOL

Hiding Forums from Forumdisplay was never intended for this Hack.

Well can you add it as a feature please thanks?

[Andreas]

As said: It's working as designed and I don't plan on adding a feature to hide Forums from Forumdisplay/Forumhome :)

[hobbes747]

Is the $bulletin a typo or on purpose? :nervous:

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$bulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']);

Looks like no matter what it adds the comma. :nervous:

[Marco van Herwaarden]

My guess it si a typo.

[Andreas]

It's a Typo. Gonna update the ZIP soon :)

[edschaum]

Hi,

The latest vb adds support for a title field in forum names. In the past, when using html in forum names, the forum name did not appear in the forum jump menu (and some other places).

Now, by adding a title field to the forum name, the forum name text appears in places that it did not appear in the past (like the forum jump menu).

The title field text is not appearing in the Forum Exclude list for this extension in the user cp. Is it possible to add support for the title field to this excellent extension?

Thanks,

Ed

[Andreas]

I am not sure If I understood you correctly, but there was a possible Problem with Forums that had HTML in Title.
Should be fixed now.

[edschaum]

My forum names are images, not text, therefore the forum jump menus are blank. However, with v3.5, there is now support for adding a title tag:

<img src=graphicalforumname.image><title>Text Name of Forum</title>

In v3.5, vbulletin picks up the text between the title tags and inserts it in places where the textual forum name is needed, like in the forum jump menu.

Currently, the Exclude Forums box is blank for me because my forum names are images. I've inserted title tags with the textual forum names in between, and now my forum jump menus work, but the Exclude Forums box is still blank.

I'm hoping that this mod will also pick up the text in the title tags and insert it into the Exclude box.

Sorry for the cumbersome explanation.

Ed

[Andreas]

Did you try Version 1.0.3 already?

Btw: Your Forum Names will generate invalid HTML, as <title> is only allowed in <head>

[edschaum]

Did you try Version 1.0.3 already?

It works fine with 1.03, problem solved.


Btw: Your Forum Names will generate invalid HTML, as <title> is only allowed in <head>

It appears that vbulletin is using those tags as internal markers only. They are being stripped out before the page is rendered, so it doesn't cause a problem.

Thanks,

Ed

[Andreas]

Are you sure?

[Pitman]

Any chance of adding a per forum permission that are overridden by the forum permissions by usergroup if they are set?

[Andreas]

I've read that sentence 4 times, and still don't get what you want?

[Pitman]

An option in AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Can be Excluded from Get New / Get Daily

It would make it a lot easier to set a global per forum option and if you want specific usergroups to have a different permission than is set on the forum, you can set an access mask-like permission such as the one currently being used.

[Pitman]

I've read that sentence 4 times, and still don't get what you want?Just checking to see if you understood the last post :p

[FleaBag]

I'm getting the issue reported with phrases not showing upwhen editing a Usergroup... Tried editing a phrase, and re-installing the product - to no avail.

[peterska2]

/me hits the install button!

Just what I needed. You've saved me a job again there Kirby!

[Andreas]

@Pitman
I see. So actually you want a Forum setting "Can be excluded from Get new Posts" and a Usergroup Setting "Follow Forum Settings for excluding from Get New Posts", right?

@FleaBag
Which Phrase is missing where?

[Pitman]

Basically, yes :)

[FleaBag]

@FleaBag
Which Phrase is missing where?

The phrases in the Usergroup Manager for the options. I am using RC3; could that be an issue?

[Andreas]

Hmm ... it's there for me.
Can you make a screenshot of where it is missing?

[hardgainer]

Is there any way to force certain forums to be excluded in all User CP's?

[ConqSoft]

When I upgraded to RC3, the option under each Forum in Forum Manager no longer shows. Do I need to re-run something?

[Andreas]

@hardgainer
You mean excluded from get new posts, or excluded from being excluded (:D) from get new posts?

@ConqSoft
Should not be necessary.
Check that the Bitfield XML is in place and that all Plugins are active.
Furthermore, this Hack does not add any Option to Forum Manager at all.

[ConqSoft]

Yeah, re-uploaded the bitfield XML over the old one just to make sure. The option shows for Usergroups, but not for Forums. Strange.

[Andreas]

Not strange, it's working as designed :)
This is a Usergroup Permission, not a Forum Setting.

[ConqSoft]

I thought it had an option to determine if a forum could be opted-out of or not?


Description
This Hack allows the Users to select certain Forums they do not want to appear on Get New/Get Daily.
It includes a new Permission, so you can specify which Usergroups can use this feature, which Forums
can't be excluded, etc.

[Andreas]

Yes - Forum Permissions.

[ConqSoft]

Duh. I knew I had seen it somewhere, and thought it was a forum option. :D Thanks

[Boofo]

Then you need to delete this in your instructions.

You can also go Forum Permissions to specify which Forums "can't be excluded".

Forum settings, right?

[Andreas]

Yes, it need's an Update: to is missing.

Well, I don't see the option in there now after upgrading to RC 3.

[Andreas]

Should I take a Screenshot for you? ;)
Hint: Forum Permissions != Forum Manager

[Boofo]

Should I take a Screenshot for you? ;)

Yes, do that and I will take one for you. ;)

[ConqSoft]

AdminCP->Forums & Moderators->Forum Permissions. Edit a Usergroup. You can pick which forums that usergroup can/can't opt out of.

It's not under Forum Settings (where I was thinking it was). It's under Forum Permissions, where it has always been. I just had a brainfart.

Ahhh, cancel the screenshot, Kirby. I was thinking as ConqSoft was. My mistake. Sorry. :(

[Andreas]

Hehe.
But it was always in the documentation so at least you can't blame me (except for the missing to) ;)

[Boofo]

Hehe.
But it was always in the documentation so at least you can't blame me (except for the missing to) ;)

True, and that's why I ate my words. ;)

I don't use forum permissions enough, I guess. So, I'm not used to checking there. I will do so more often in the future now that I know you use them for a few of your hacks. Again, sorry for the misunderstanding. ;)

* Boofo goes to gargle after choking on those words he had to eat. ;)

[NuclioN]

Installed! Just what we needed. ;)

[dieselpowered]

Is this running alright on 3.5 Gold??

Thanks!

[Andreas]

Why shouldn't it?

[dieselpowered]

Why shouldn't it?

Well due to changes in the code...just like the PM hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91729&page=1&pp=15

I just want to be sure before I go hacking it up :)

[Andreas]

There were no changes in the Code that caused these problems - it wouldn't have worked properly on any Beta/RC Version as well.

So answer is (as always): I expect it to be working, but I don't know if it really is.

Well my friend, it works just fine.

I do have a question though...

I have a link on the homepage to the specific forum, however, I have the forum indicated as not active so that it does not show on the forum index.

Now the problem is that it has to be active in order to be shown on the Excluded Forums list.

Is there anyway around this? Also, would it be possible to get this to work with CMPS so that when it shows say 19 new post, and all of those new post are in forums that were excluded by your hack, that it does not show the number? 'Cause right now, it shows 19 new posts, however, when you click it shows no new post (because it is excluded)

Thanks man!

[Andreas]

1) Edit the Plugin Code (Hook profile_editoptions_start) and remove

AND ($forum['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['active'])


2) Link to the CMPS Module you are refering to?

Ummm well it is built into CMPS, I guess just visit my site and look on the side where it shows new posts:

http://www.weapondepot.com

[dieselpowered]

Awesome man, that code change did the trick!!!

Now for the CMPS :)

[Andreas]

It does not show "new posts" anywhere for me (or I am just blind, that could quite possibly be the case).

[dieselpowered]

Darnit, I always forget that sometimes things I see guests will not.

Not that this will help, however, you can login as:

user: test-acct
pass: password

I have attached a screenshot as well :)

[dsotmoon]

can the admin pick forums to not show in new posts or just the users, example, if I dont want any threads from a "test" forum, can I select that as an admin?

[csidlernet]

coolies thanks!
/me hits install

[KidneyBoy]

Thanks! This is a great feature! I do agree this should be built into vBulletin, but at least you created it, and I for one really appreciate it. Thanks again!

KidneyBoy

[dieselpowered]

So Kirby, is it safe to assume that there is no way to fix the CMPS module so that it does not display posts that people have opt out of?

[Andreas]

I think it is possible, but I didn't have a look at it yet.
Will do so now (after precessing all new posts on vBorg)

[offline]

Nice work, works great on 3.50 gold. One quick question... Is there a way to set a new user to automatically have a specific forum turned off from the new posts search?

[Andreas]

Yes.
register_addmember_process

$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', 'X');

[dieselpowered]

Yes.
register_addmember_process

$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', 'X');


Oh crap, I thought that was the answer to my question...glad I checked the other page ;)

[dsotmoon]

Yes.
register_addmember_process

$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', 'X');


was this the answer to my question or offline?, just want to make sure :nervous: i just want to have one specific forum thats will not show up at all in new posts

[dsotmoon]

Yes.
register_addmember_process

$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', 'X');



also, is that a template or in the product or xml? i couldnt find a template with that name

[Andreas]

That was the answer for

oh, ok, anyway to set this so one specific forum will not show up for any user/usergroup, ie: test forum doesnt show up in new posts for anyone?

[Andreas]

Edit the Plugin and add the Forumid to the list.

[dsotmoon]

Edit the Plugin and add the Forumid to the list.

i dont see a forum id list? which exact file? is there a string i can search for to find it? sorry to be a pain :ermm:

[Andreas]

*** Untested ***

To make this work with the welcome module of CMPS:

In welcomeblock.php
FIND

$getnewposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']);


REPLACE that with

$getnewposts = $db->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
" . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'], "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid=post.threadid)") . "
WHERE post.dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . "
" . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'], "AND thread.forumid NOT IN (0," . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] . ")") . "
");

(The query might need some optimization though)

[Andreas]

i dont see a forum id list? which exact file? is there a string i can search for to find it? sorry to be a pain :ermm:


$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']);


That's the line which (re)defines the comma-separated list of excluded forums - add your ID to it.

[dsotmoon]

That's the line which (re)defines the comma-separated list of excluded forums - add your ID to it.

so it would look like this?

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : '8,' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']);

with the forum id being 8

[Andreas]

Not quite ;)


$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']) . ',8';

[dsotmoon]

Not quite ;)


$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']) . ',8';



haha, i was almost close, thanks Kirby

[dsotmoon]

Not quite ;)


$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']) . ',8';


actually i changed that code and it doesnt work, users can still see forumid8 ???

here is what it looks like to be sure

Thanks! One more quick question, can the user turn the forum back on themselves?

[Andreas]

Yes they can.

[offline]

you are awesome! Thanks!

[scottct1]

Any chance you can update this hack so that when users turn off the forums they dont want from the new posts search the forums are also no longer displayed in forumhome and the quick jumps?

[Andreas]

No. This is not a feature I find useful therefore it will not make it into this Hack which is only meant for Get New Posts/Get Daily.
Sorry :)

[Karri]

Is it possible to add a check box next to the forum names instead of just highlighting the ones you do not want to appear? I have a ton of boards on my site and a few users are having trouble selecting the ones they want on and off with just highlight them. If they had a check box they wouldn't have to hold down shift or ctrl and could easily scroll through the list.

Thanks!!!

[Andreas]

The listbox works the same way the listbox for Search does, therefore i'll keep it this way.
Standardized Controls = more usability.

[weaver]

Yes.
register_addmember_process

$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', 'X');


Is that a template name? I don't see this.

ETA: I've tried choosing "None" but it's still excluding me from my RSS feed forum. There are new threads within that forum that should be showing up for me now.

[dieselpowered]

*** Untested ***

To make this work with the welcome module of CMPS:

In welcomeblock.php
FIND

$getnewposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']);


REPLACE that with

$getnewposts = $db->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid=post.threadid)
WHERE post.dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . "
AND thread.forumid NOT IN (0," . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] . ")
");

(The query might need some optimization though)

Ya that did not work my friend:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM vb3_post
LEFT JOIN vb3_thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid=post.threadid)
WHERE post.dateline >= 1128974249

Do you have any Forums excluded?

No at this time I do not.

I was just about to go in and test it, however, I received that error...so I had to revert the file.

[Andreas]

That's the problem then - it only works if you have Forums excluded :)

[dieselpowered]

That's the problem then - it only works if you have Forums excluded :)

So you are saying that any of my visitors who do not have any forums excluded will be unable to visit my site as they will receive that error.

Hmmm well that will not work.

See some people may want to see everything versus some may want to opt out...therefore, sounds like I will not be able to change the welcome module to only show the new posts from the forums they want to see.

[Andreas]

I've edited my post with the Code; the revised version should work no matter if Forums are excluded or not.

[JulianD]

GREEEEEEEEAT EXTENSION!!!!! My users were requesting this one a long time ago! Thank you so muuuuuuuuch!

[dieselpowered]

I've edited my post with the Code; the revised version should work no matter if Forums are excluded or not.

Worked just fine my friend.

Now you indicated the code needed to be optimized, is that still the case?

Thank you sir!

[Andreas]

Still could need an optimization, but not sure - havn't looked at that.

[dieselpowered]

Still could need an optimization, but not sure - havn't looked at that.

Not even sure what you mean by optimization, however, if you say it needs something I believe you. So is that something you were going to do, or do I need to find someone to do it?

Thanks again for all your help, that was very cool of you!

[Andreas]

i'll take a look at it ... when I am very bored :D
Anyway, even if it could be optimized it's not a big issue.

This is not too usable for end users, so I don't think anyone will do that.

[JohnBee]

The permission system doesnt propagate down the forum permissions, ex: if you set do not exclude forums at the top of a forum section, all forums will receive "do not exclude" even if you change individual forums under that section to "allow exclude"

is there a way to fix this, as it is, if you have a very large forum setting each individual subforum under that section is extremely time consuming and imo. not worth the efforts.

Additionally when you add this feature it clashes with the new post reporting option in such a way that you see "no. of new posts" but when you click on it the search returns nothing.

This hack is not very useful in its current form (uninstall)

[ConqSoft]

Additionally when you add this feature it clashes with the new post reporting option in such a way that you see "no. of new posts" but when you click on it the search returns nothing.

That must be a hack? Because I don't have anywhere on my site that shows a number of new posts. If that's the case, then your hack will need to be modified to take into account opt'ed out forums.

[Tulsa]

It is a hack and probably this one.

[Andreas]

The permission system doesnt propagate down the forum permissions, ex: if you set do not exclude forums at the top of a forum section, all forums will receive "do not exclude" even if you change individual forums under that section to "allow exclude"

The permission is Can exclude Forums from "Get New Posts".
If you set this to No for a Category, but Yes for subforums of this category, the category will not show up in the listbox - that's correct and actaully working as designed.
vBulletin search behaves the same way - set "Can search Forum" for a category to No, but Yes for subforums - it will not be shown on the search form.
Or set "Can View"=No for a category but Yes for subforums - the category will not be shown on Forumhome, etc.

[SmEdD]

You might want to put in the desc so your average joe knows that if you hold ctrl you can highlight multiple forums.

[Andreas]

The "average joe" should know that, as every listbox which allows selecting multiple itemas works this way - also the forum selection listboc on search.
And there too is no explanation :)

[SmEdD]

Yes it would be nice for the average joe to know. but you have to remember about 10-20% of the people who use the net will know that maybe even less. And there should be a thing for the search area too. But I have never needed to do that for the search.

[KBV]

Does this mod enable you to lock X forum out of new post and daily from within the adminpanel, so that no one can turn it on?

I don't know either what you are doing wrong. Only thing I can say is: If the permissions does not show up, then you did smth. wrong.
Most likely it's a problem with the bitfield XML.

This was answered already; start at post #120 and read down. You can set certain forums to "default" in the opted-out state, and users can toggle them back on at their discretion.

[croportal]

wo great, this i have loking for

[JohnBee]

Is it possible to search a forum what is opted out?

The reason I ask is my forum has specific news releases. The releases cover various areas and my memberships are not interested in the areas they are no associated with so they asked to turn off new posts for those areas.

However, some of them want to catch up with new posts when the time is right, so I was wondering if there was a way to create a link or button which would allow them to get the new posts for that forum discretely when the time is right.

?

[GlitterKill]

I have run into an interesting problem. I had been getting reports from one of my members that this hack was not working correctly for him. I have been running it for months with only this one guy stating he was having a problem. I assumed it was just user error. After some troubleshooting with the guy I finally logged in under his account and went to check the options page. I then saw why he was having problems. For some reason, a handfull of some of the sub-forums in one forum area are not listed in the selection list. They appear in mine just fine but his UserCP Options are missing some of them. What in the world could cause this and how might I correct the issue?

[ConqSoft]

Check the Forum Permissions section for every forum. You can define which usergroups have the ability to ignore which forums.

[GlitterKill]

Thanks! That certainly was it... it was user error after all! HAHAH

Hey, great Hack, but my Problem:
The SQL-Query dosent work??
The hack work greatfull, but if i select the Forum i cant save it. :(
Please help :)
Thank you!

[aciurczak]

I wanted to by default exclude a forum from the the new posts search, so I went to Post #120 and implemented that mini-plug-in (and saved it as a product so I can save it/enable it/disable it over forum upgrades).

But this didn't fix my existing users. I then used this SQL query:

UPDATE usertextfield SET excludeforumsgnp = 17 WHERE excludeforumsgnp = "";

to have forum #17 opted-out by default for all existing users, unless they had taken the time to already choose their own excluded forums, then the query leaves their profile alone.

[kafi]

Great! Installed!!! Users like it :-)

Any chance to guide me how to implement this also for latest (10) threads on forumhome page? I wish if they set up excluded forums they do not wish to see them there either...

Thank you!

Can it be used with v 3.6?

I use another HACK on my forum which our community highly relies on "Unread Posts" this mode simply put places the number of unread threads and posts on the forum home when a user visits the forum.

The opt out forum mod is great, however the Unread posts hack does not register that these forums are opted out, is there a way to get the two to work together?

[JohnBee]

I just added the custom code to opt out forums by default (great!)
Is it possible to apply this based on usergroups?

For example, usergroup id 7 exclude forum id 17 by default

[snikle]

Ok, I installed this, made the appropriate changes in my AdminCP to allow groups to use this feature, but for the life of me, I cannot see where the user notates which forums to ignore. What am I missing?

[flynnibus]

So sites are running this in 3.6.x without issues? Was trying to find some explict support for v3.6 but don't see it mentioned, or references to a v3.6 equivalent? Closest I found was this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132279 but that excludes the forums from views, not just new posts

thx

[kontrabass]

I'm using this under 3.6 with no problems.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

WAS working with 3.6 no problem...
just noticed that now seems to be a bug "all of a suddent" in IE (7) where I can't pick multiple forums with ctrl key.

-choose one forum works
-choose a bunch of forums with shift+control works.
-but chosing selected ones with just ctrl doesn't. no response to click when choosing multiple forums. :(

any ideas? only in IE. works in FF.
I even reinstalled it just to see if that would do it. :/

(I know this isn't supported...but it does say for bugs. < fingers crossed > :))

[styleforum]

Ok, I installed this, made the appropriate changes in my AdminCP to allow groups to use this feature, but for the life of me, I cannot see where the user notates which forums to ignore. What am I missing?
It should be in their User CP under options at the bottom.

[styleforum]

I have a question on this - I know it's not supported but hopefully someone can tell me if this is happening to them or if they fixed it, etc.

I set this up hoping people could exclude from New Posts, because that's what it says. However, when I tested it it excludes selected forums not only from New Posts but from ANY SEARCH. This is not what I want. For example, people might want to exclude the Buying/Selling forum for New Posts because it clutters up their search, but if they do a regular search for a specific item, they might want to see search results from the Buying/selling forum. As it is, they can't seem to do a global search that includes the forums they've checked off.

If I go into Buying/selling and run a 'search this forum' it works just fine.

Is there a way around this? Was it always like this or is this a 3.6.x thing?

Hoping for some help. Thanks.

[SBlueman]

Just wanted to say thank you to the author for such a great mod!

I tried to run the SQL query to pre-exclude forums for new members and got this error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', '137')' at line 1

Now....did I do this right? Is the "137" supposed to be the forum ID I want excluded?

[SBlueman]

Yes.
register_addmember_process

$userdata->set('excludeforumsgnp', 'X');


So is this right:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'])
{
$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']);
}
$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= '137,95,152,8';
