How to exclude Closed Topics?

Can this hack exclude forums? I found this hack that allow us to exclude forums.

New to installing hacks first one actually. Is this compatible with VB 3.0.7 As I have looked for

// check our results and decide what to do
switch ($highScore)
{

in search.php and do not see it anywhere.

Would be great if someone could kindly update this to work with 3.0.7 :ermm:

Your link provides nice information but this hack really does something else:

But maybe it's a temporary solution.


I can't understand. SO MANY CODERS, and nobody can (of will) make such a hack?

The link ice9 provided works great! Nothing 'temporary' about it. You simply make a button and add the search url to it and then it will tell you which posts have been unanswered. The only thing it can't do, that I'm aware of, is to exclude certain forums. Other then that it's the same as the hack :) I for one really appreciate ices link :)

Re-read the link I've posted. Any search that can be performed via the search function can be hard-coded with a link. Feel free to check out the site in my profile to see how it's done -- excluding forums is certainly possible. Actually, it's done by specifically including certain forums, with the forumchoice variable.

1. I only want to do it for one forum.
2. It makes a seperate page with the results, leaving the originale forum alone. I want to push the trheads up.
3. How could I ever made a button in one single forum?

You can use the forumchoice option to limit your searches to certain forum(s). Not sure what you mean by #2 and #3.

Will this be ported for 3.5?
