https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/01/1.png

Here is a small modification you can use to exclude forums from showing in the New Posts and Today's Posts searches.

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, ozzmodz_excl_new_posts

You can edit the options under the settings, [OzzModz]: Exclude Forums From New Posts Search Settings

Complete Feature List

• Option to disable the mod completely.
• Option to choose which forums, new threads / posts won't show in the New Posts and Today's Posts searches.
• Option to select which usergroups will still see the posts showing up in the forums you chose to exclude, useful for guests, so search engines can find the posts easily.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. You may have some forums that you have set up to get RSS feeds from a outside source, so when you click on the New Posts, or the Today's Posts, you would see all them show, not anymore. Or you may have forums that have results from a sporting event, and some members may not have watched it yet. So if they were to view the Activity Stream, they might see the results that another user posted, spoiling their unknown outcome of the event.

Q. How did you come up with this mod?

A. New Joe gave me the idea. :)

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Yep seenat. :D

I would have thought ozzy would have mentioned me as the person who gave him this great idea though..:p

Done, added to first post. :)

:D:up:
Cheers..

Sometimes I need a little poke. :)

I should get mentioned too for being next to the dude that gave him the great idea.:D

LOL now that made me laugh. :)

I should get mention for whining about it not being made for vB3.... Then it was!

Will this mod work with VSa - Advanced 'New Posts'- mod Ozzy?

I don't know, never tried it.

Fair enough! lol...thanks for replying back Bud, I will have to install it and see if it does and if it does work I will let you know .....once again thanks !

Yeah let me know either way, and if it don't work, I will see if I can make it work. :)

I don't know about everyone else but OzzModz are taking over my forum! Another great one Thanks!;)

That's his true mission.... to assimilate... Resistance is Futile....

Glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

We are OzzModz. Resistance as you know it is over. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. ~Collective

I am ozzy47, of OzzModz. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us. ~Locutus

Yeah the "47" is fully understood now....

Oh great ! lol....just great lol ....

What's wrong?

Nothing at all my Man, everything is great lol...

Really need this but can it made so users can choose which forums to exclude?

I will add it as considered for future updates. :)

Nice mod thank you :)
can you made another hack
Example:
5 post per section next post need 12 or 24 hours
I mean i made 5 post in Mods section 12 to 24 hour and next post in Mods section after 12 or 24 hours :)

Dear Ozzy please can you make this before i reply
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=27

I am not sure exactly what it is you are asking, could you please clarify.

I mean first sorry my Bad english
example I have VIP section and Only VIP member can access here not normal
I want Per VIP member can make 5 reply Per 24 hour
i mean Per Vip member make 5 reply in a duration time like 24 hour
Main example

I'll look around a bit later. I seem to recall a mod something like that.

Really really thank you :)

Perhaps one of these may do what you need.
WoG - Threads Limit Per X Hours on Specified Forum
Chiplove.9xpro - Limit new thread/post per day vB4 (v1.3)

This would really make this mod perfect. For very large, very diverse forums like ours, users would simply love this feature. :)

This is a good mod. There is one thing that would make it MUCH better though. I also have your mod "extended search links" installed. I have a forum of that uses RSS to post relevant Ebay ads. When you click on unanswered threads, they take over the list. Any way of adding unanswered threads to the excluded forums?

So you want un answered threads in the forum that the RSS posts to to not show up in the new posts search?

Why not just exclude the forum entirely?

It IS included from New Posts and What's New. They still show up when somebody clicks "Unanswered Threads" in your extended search link mod however.

Ok so you want to exclude them in which mod, Exclude Forums From New Posts Search or Extended Search Links In Navbar

Cause I am kinda lost right now. :p

Extended search links in Navbar. They are already excluded from the New Posts Search.

Ok can you do me a favor then, post it as a feature request on my site, so it gets logged into the tracker, http://ozzmodz.com/forumdisplay.php/...inks-In-Navbar
