No, they will not, forum permissions still apply :)

If the user is in a usergroup that does not have permissions to see a forum, then unanswered threads from that forum will not show up for that user.

wow that was the quickest reply ever!! Thanks for the prompted answer. On question about installing . This will be my 1st attempt of installing a hack! ( wish me luck!) Do I put in the forum root folder?

No, just follow the instructions below:

1. Import ms_search_all_unanswered.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.
2. Alter the settings in the Admin CP vBulletin Options to your liking.

oh yea that thing. I remember seeing that the other day. so much back there I forget what is what! Thanks

I have imported now but do not see in vb options. When I imported the only lines I filled out were the title and version and pretty much left everything blank!!

not sure if thats why I am not seeing but anyway. i must be missing something as
it is not showing up. in vb options! Thanks for the help

You need to import it, it sounds like you have created a new product.

You need to browse for the xml file, then click import after.

See screen shoot, for example:

Update: v3.7.006
-- Changed: Check boxes now for usergroup selection, instead of needing comma separated numbers
-- Changed: Screenshots
-- Added: New plugin, for processing usergroup permissions

nice mod but u can u make it exclude soft deleted threads ?

I had a quick look at how the search.php works (which is what this hack calls to show the unanswered threads) and it does not seem to take into account excluding soft deleted threads, so this would probably require extra plug-ins, editing of the core files or if any query hooks are available in the correct places it may be possible to extend a query or 2 to make it take that into account.

But this is a fairly simple hack, so am probably not going look into it. I may change my mind in future if I feel the urge to look into it, but I doubt it.

just installed, thanks :up:

Installed, works fine and fast. Thanks :cool:

Great Hack thanks

thanks for the updates

Installed this and "view your own posts". No errors reported. However, when I try and use the functions from the navbar on my site it says "page not found" - the standard explorer style page not found.

Any ideas? :confused:

Can you please elaborate, i.e. list the steps taken to produce the error and a screenshot of the error.

Does it happen when you use the standard vBulletin style?

Or is it only on custom styles?

I should hopefully be able to help then.

Basically, select "search" on the navbar, followed by "View all threads started by you" or "View all your posts". As soon as either are selected, explorer goes to HTTP 404 Not Found.. The standard "The webpage cannot be found" error.

I am using the standard template with the most up to date release of VBulletin.

Thanks, Rob.

Please PM me the site url and test account details so I can have a quick look at this, as I can not just look at the site without logging in, as it is a members only function.

For some reason your url is showing twice in the links.

Try this, in both the Forum-wide Search For Unanswered Threads (1) and View Your Posts/Threads from Navbar Search (1) plugins, find:

Delete it.

Let me know if that works.

My forum has news, opinions .... that do not need response But others yes (less)

In the options, ev time of excluded forums there is some way of changing the code for qeu it is included forums?

P.d: Excluding many forums it me does not work

Sorry my english

thanks

search.php only has options to exclude forums, not include forums. You would need to either re-write search.php to do that or a hack is needed that would do the same thing. Both would be probably be pretty hard to do.

Thank you for the response. Very good hack but not for my :erm:

Well, after I looked at shot2bits's installation, deleting that did in fact fix it all up for him :)

So, another happy user of this hack :)

I will make the product in Arabic if you allow

I allow translations of all my hacks, so go right ahead and do an Arabic translation :)

You just need to attach your translation to a post in this thread only (you can not release it as your own release here or on any other site), and I will put a link to it in the first post :)
