New Posts Question
 

Under new posts (recent posts) http://ringnews24.com/boxingforum/se...earchid=353377

Is there a mod available to stop users/forum sections from showing up in NEW POSTS?

Thanks

Anyone?

Why would you want to exclude forums / users from that search?

I have a boxing forum and when users log on and check recent posts, it contains spoilers (fight results). And on a boxing forum the members dont like it. They want to still talk about boxing before they get a chance to download or watch the fight.

I would like to exclude some users and certain sections.

I have a few users that auto post boxing news, and I would like to exclude some users also.

Edit the Recent Posts tab in the Navigation Manager, and change Target URL to this.

X,Y,Z being the forums that you want to exclude. I don't think there is a way to exclude certain users.

Thanks Ozzy47.

That worked brilliant.

Is there anyway to remove it from the activity stream also???

The Target url in activity stream says - activity.php{session.sessionurl_q}

You would have to add two new plugins. ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Add New Plugin

This is untested, but it should work.

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: postdata_presave (excludes replies to existing threads)
Title: Exclude Forum Posts From Activity Stream
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: threadfpdata_presave (excludes new threads)
Title: Exclude Forum Threads From Activity Stream
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
X,Y,Z are of course the forums you want to exclude. This will only work on new threads/posts not existing ones.

Thanks Ozzy47

I will give this a try.

Let me know how it goes. :)

It didn't work Ozzy.

I just tested the one to exclude new threads, and it works fine.

Also just tested the replies, and it works.

Thats weird, double checked the plugins and they are perfect like you said to do.

Not sure whys its not working.

I can leave Activity stream un-enabled and make do with the Recent Posts.

Thanks for all your help Ozzy.

Are you viewing old posts / threads or newly posted ones? This will only work on new threads / posts.

I am going to turn this into a mod, so you can set the forums in a ACP option.

Not wanting to make anyone look stupid, but this happens to me all the time: ringnews, have you made sure the plugins are active? I always forget to set that last option to yes when saving a new plugin.

Actually, you can delete those and use this mod, [OzzModz] Exclude Forums From Activity Stream

And yes, that happens to me quite often to, cellarius. :)
