You need to change the line below with the forums ID you want excluded:

Good good, what file or template do I stick this in?

NM.. index.php shoulda looked first :)

Hi AnimeWebby,

is it possible to remove threads from the newest threads section which are done from a special user?

I am using one user to post news from rss feeds into my board and now this is the only user shown in the list so I will exclude it :D
Is this possible?

Add:

Under:

And change 0 to the id's of the user/s that you use to post rss feeds.

And Add:

Under:

BTW this is untested so backup your index.php file before doing this, as you might need to re use it later.

Oh and terribly sorry for not releasing any new version I have been extremely busy with work and my sites. Hopefully I might get something done soon.

It must be

and not

then is your modification working.

You should add this to the downloadable version :D

Demineo is this a failure which came up after you installed the hack or my modification?
If this came from the small modification then please read my thread above yours and change the line to fix this.

its just from the hack itself.

I don't think you can have a null value for your $excludedforums variable so just stick a 0 in there and tell me what happens.

I.E $excludedforums = "0";

I would also like to see "Newest Posters" replaced with "Best Reputation". It works on this forum:

http://www.morcmtb.org/forums/

But no-one has yet given the details of how to change this. :( It would be greatly appreciated.

It's just a minor code change, but in general not recommended for forums on which The Curse of the Cosmo is a member, or he will start his sadsacking again. ;)

LOL!!! One can never escape you mr Eriksson. :D

Alright, any takers? :ermm:

I have been testing this for a while, it is great just installed it on my live forum.
Only removed the post count for new members from the display (removed from forumhome_stats_poster template) as most usually stay at 0 before passing of the list (sign-up average of about 60 people a day).

Thank you.

JD. :)

I also would like to see Top Posters removed and just replaced with the reputation, if not, I would just like to remove top posters and leave it with Newest Members and Latest Threads, etc.

Any ideas anyone, or do I just delete this bit from the index.php file?

I'm gonna install this ASAP. Thanks!

anyway to stop it grabbing posts from a selected forum?

nm got it :)

thanks a lot

Is there nobody, who can say me how to truncate Lastposter so that the username will be trim ?

i'd like it if the latest threads also showed the thread icon chosen for it like the latest posts block on vbadvanced

but i'm also wondering how will it affect queries

*installed*

But i have a small problem.

The statistics are shown up at the bottom of the forum home, but i want the statistics above the "Forum Contain New Posts" Icon and below the small board statistics (welcome to our...)

Can anyone help me?

Great hack .. installed with no problems on 3.0.3

Clicked install

I got this hack to work on my vB 3.0.3 forum:

http://www.osdiscussion.com/

Installed!

hi,

a user of mine has a long user name, becuase of its it drastically distorts my styles when it's listed in any of the top x stats table. Is there anyway to trunicate long user names in within that table? (so that if it's higher then 15 characters or something it will cut the rest off?)

Thanks.

How can i make the forums (threads in them) which can only be viewed by moderators, to be viewed in Top 10 Stats at the bottom of the page?

/me clicks install.

Great hack, and I like the more slimline look that the member on page one of this thread suggested.

i installed hack fine and it shows Top 5 Stats bar, but no memebrs under the categories?

Im missed this. Thanx fore the help. This is working great.
Clicks innstall.

Nevermind

I think it's not perfect,
The posts from invisible forum still be view by everybody,
Can you hide it from 'X' Starts ?

Just installed this hack...anybody knows if we can exclude certain members from that table(i want to exclude the site stuff members) like we exlude forums for example?

Thanks in advance, great hack:)

I have only found this post but it seems that is only to exclude user that make specific threads...i want to exclude users from the top Posters listing

Thanks:)

Nevermind the last one, with the kind help of animewebby i solved it:)

Does anyone knows if this is working for 3.0.5?

don't know but works in 3.0.6

I read through this whole thread. I see spots where people ask to delete users for the top X posts. I am looking for this. I would like to have a Top X posters for all members, admin, and mods but I would like a separate box for Top X Members. Or any particular choice of user groups.

Any ideas??

TIA

this hack went smooth on 3.06 thanks for doing it up

So no luck with my question then. Darn.

Awesome; installed..

Excellent hack ... *clicks installed*

Hoping someone can help me a little here though .. I know you`ve shown how you can stop threads being shown from a certain user .. But how do I stop a user from showing up in the top 'x' posters?
