get certain forums to NOT show up in the "new Posts" querey?

How do you get a particular forum to NOT show up when a user click on "new posts?"

I think this may have to be a mod....

*** Untested ***

[sql]ALTER TABLE forum ADD ignoregnp TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'[/sql]

forumdata_start

PHP Code:


		
			
$this->validfields['ignoregnp'] = array(TYPE_BOOL, REQ_NO);

forumadmin_add_default

PHP Code:


		
			
$forum['ignoregnp'] = 0;

forumadmin_edit_form

PHP Code:


		
			
print_yes_no_row("Exclude this Forum from 'New Posts'", 'forum[ignoregnp]', $forum['ignoregnp']);

search_getnew_start

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)

{

    if ($forum['ignoregnp')

    {

        $vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ",$forum[forumid]";

    }

}

Or, if you want to give the users a choice whil forums they want to exclude, check my profile.

OK let me RE ASK the question so I don't get an answer like I did before. You specified code but I do not understand what should be changed or WHERE the code needs to be added. Can you or someone else help me to understand?

The hook locations for the plugins are clearly pointed out in my previous post?

If you do not understand plugins, I suggest to read the manual:

OK I am really uncomfortable doing this, Although it would probably be easy for someone more experienced to handle. Any chance of someone creating a plugin for me? I will pay

Laura,

I'm not sure if you are aware of this but threads/posts in forums that are not visible to the end-user will not display when NEW POSTS is clicked.

Another thing you should try is ... not sure if this works with NEW POSTS
when editing a forum within ADMINCP/ Forums & Moderators disable INDEX NEW POST IN SEARCH ENGINE (this option will prevent anyone from being able to search in forum)

If this is not what you want ... I recommend following what ANDREAS mentioned above.

Index New Posts in Search Engine does not have an effect on Get New 'Posts/Get Daily

}

there is a slight error in the Code above,

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($forum['ignoregnp')

should be...

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($forum['ignoregnp'])

apart from the small typo .... this works perfecty.

Thanks Andreas
