thank you man it was great help.

please keep adding more and more great hacks.

take care

just installed on 3.5.3. with no problems...

great hack Psionic :-)

I still cannot get this to work. :( The problem is with guests, who get the database error: Any suggestions? I could really use this.

I get no guests problems on my board.. :/

Probably a conflict with another hack then. Any suggestions on how to track it down and remedy the situation?

INstalleD

That is not evident :)

Yes, get the order plugin hack, and keep changing the order in which the plugin is first run.

Is there anyway to set this so that the forumjump with still show the excluded forums?

BTW, this is a fantastic hack and my members love ya for it.

Parker

damn someone asked me about this excluding forums yesterday

As I said before I think this is a great hack. Do you think you could write it in a version that is similar to your 3.0 version that gave you check boxes next to each forum title on the main forum page?

Thanks,
Parker

Yes, however, I am not going to do that.

Hmm, I had this hack at one point, but when we moved forums, things got messed up, I had the white space in the edit options area where this is supposed to be however I'm getting this error when trying to reinstall.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

Remove the appropriate line from the XML file...

This has been asked but I will ask again, is there anyway in the acp to set this so that certain forums can not be excluded like news and announcements and rules or something similar?

Love it Installed

No, that is not currently possible.

I can't answer for this one specifically, but I have a similar hack by Andreas installed. And with that one, you can easily set those restrictions in the Forum Permissions section of the AdminCP. You can set which usergroups can and cannot "exclude Forums from Get New Posts."

It doesn't remove forums from from the forum list though. It only omits posts from those forums from the "Get New/Get Daily" searches.

That this is the hack upon which this one was built. The forum setting will be added in future version.

Will they work together? Or must they only be one or the other installed?

Although you might be able to install them together, they won't work together, meaning permissions of one won't affect the second...

Thats sad, as I know you asked repeatedly for them to add the requested additions, several times in fact, and many would love that, thanks for the heads up Psionic

There was none. I simply verified that this hack is working on 3.5.4 and repackaged it. There were no changes.

I just tried to update my version of this, but when I tried to upload the product got this error:

Update your version of this? This has only had one version.

Strange. I was browsing the hack listing and this one had the green "Update" text next to it, so I assumed a newer version had been released.

Plus, it said last update 12 May and I have had it on my board longer than that... I Think.

If it was updated, then the version would be > 1.0.0...
What actually happened:

No worries. That will teach me not to read the posts properly and just rely on the "Update" note. ;)

Anthony,

I know you're busy and it was asked previously, however, I just want to vote for the option. It would be great if you could exclude specific forums from this. For example, I have a series of sponsor forums that I don't want people to be able to hide.

Thanks for this great hack!

Ok, I might add that feature in future.

Thank you!!!

I just install it on my board (3.5.4) and this hack not working too (installing was successfully, but in User CP I can't see an options to exclude forums) :tired:

Hack updated. To upgrade, just overwrite product xml.

Anyone using this on the beta yet?

Ok I installed the update and its not working for me, whenever I go to edit options in my user profile I get the following...

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare forum_accessible() (previously declared in /home/satellit/public_html/profile.php(916) : eval()'d code:1) in /home/satellit/public_html/profile.php(916) : eval()'d code on line 96

not sure what this means.

Does it mean that I can stop user from excluding a forum (and viewing new posts for that forum) if that forum is set to exludable=1?

just updated this hack to 1.1.0 and have problem:
1) in introduction say next:
[sql]UPDATE PFXforum SET exludable = 1[/sql]
but in table FORUM field exludable not exist, this field must be exCludable. Example:
[sql]UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 1[/sql]
2) why to disable and enable exclude used same value - 1 ? May be to enable value must be 1 and to disable - 0 ?
3) in USERCP can't select forum list to exclude, I run queries, but this can't help me (see an attachment).

Same problems here as 4yBak. Tried both '1' & '0', but neither populates the forum list in User CP.

<later that same day...>
I did discover that if you "save display order" in Forum Manager, Options starts displaying the forum list.

I installed the latest and like others and the forum list will not get pouplated even with all the excluded rows in the forum table set at 0.

Hello, I also recently installed the latest version and I get this error whenever I try to access the edit options page:

Does this hack add an option under "Forum Searching Permissions" when editing a Usergroup. I installed this hack and it seems to be working fine. But I do have a blank option under that heading, like:

I am trying to track down out if this hack adds that blank option and if so, what the phrase should say.
