Disable New Posts for certain forums

[ScottC20]

How do I disable threads in certain forums from being displayed in the New Posts area?

[Paul M]

By using the plugin available in the 3.5 plugins area.

[ScottC20]

Thanks. Name/link??

[Paul M]

Why don't you look, or use the search, like I would have to to find it for you.

[ScottC20]

Well I assumed seeing as you suggested I use the plugin you would atleast have a name for it thus making a search far more easier.

And in fact I did trawl through the entire 3.5 Plugins area and found no such plugin, so perhaps you could provide valid information rather than be so rude in the future.

But obviously that is too much to ask. :rolleyes:

I still searching for that. Do you have find it?

Please can someone tell me where I ca find it?

Thanks!

I don't think this is possible with default vB.

Search ist your friend:

Select the 3 vB 3.5 Release Forums, use "New Posts", "Get New Posts" or smth. like that as keyword - should work.

[ScottC20]

As far as I can tell there is no such plugin but I did however find a solution by asking at the official Vbulletin Site.

Go into the navbar template and replace:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

with:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;exclude=X" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

Where X is the forum id.

That works ;)

You can alose use the f=X instead of exlucde (or with it) to only get data from a certain forum and subforums :)

Although I hasten add this didn't work for me with 3.5.0 for some reason only since I updated to 3.5.1 updated the templates.

Been working forever AFAIK even with 3.0.x

@ScottC20
There are at least 2 Extensions which do that :)

[ScottC20]

Well it didn't work for me.

Andreas, I was told originally there was a plugin available in the 3.5 plugins area which I could not find anyway nor could I find such a modification by using the search function which is a shame because I would have had a lot less bother.

Using search I came up with:

No I want to literally disable certain forums from being displayed in the New Posts section for every member/guest or whatever so that nobody can see the new post alerts for those particular forums.
