exclude a forum from "Todays active Threads"

Is there a way to remove a public forum from Todays Active Threads"

For example I have an "Off-topic" or "Chit Chat" forum, that is getting several post per day, but I really don't want to have it take up half of the Todays Active topics results since the topics are irrelevant our sites Niche?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any advice.

I followed the link in post #2 and I followed the instructions and it did not work, the forum I did not want included in results, remained in the results.

any other suggestions? Thanks

I did apply both post #2 and #7, but the results are unchanged?

Here are the snippets from my search.php file that I am using:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###################### Start get new #######################

if ($action=="getnew") {

  // generate query

  // do it!

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 or $bbuserinfo[lastvisit]!=0) {

    $forumsql=getallforumsql();



        if (isset($forumid)) {

            $forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT forumid FROM forum WHERE INSTR(CONCAT(',',parentlist,','),',".addslashes($forumid).",')>0");

            $forumsql.=" AND forumid IN (0";

            while ($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forums)) {

                

                if ($forum[forumid]!=98) {$forumsql.=",$forum[forumid]";}

            }

            $forumsql.=") ";

        }

and

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###################### Start get daily #######################

if ($action=="getdaily") {

  // get allowable forums:

  $forumsql=getallforumsql();



    if (isset($forumid)) {

        $forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT forumid FROM forum WHERE INSTR(CONCAT(',',parentlist,','),',".addslashes($forumid).",')>0");

        $forumsql.=" AND forumid IN (0";

        while ($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forums)) {

            if ($forum[forumid]!=98) {$forumsql.=",$forum[forumid]";}

        }

        $forumsql.=") ";

    }

I hope this helps, thanks again with your help.

ok lets try this:

First revert the changes you made in the code and instead of this find the line: (in search.php)

PHP Code:


		
			
 $wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10";

and replace it as:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10 AND thread.forumid!=X";

There are 2 instances, one is for members, the other is for guest. If you want to exclude the forum for both of them, change the both lines.

Dont forget to replace X with your excluded forumid.

I guess this will do the trick now..

Logician,

That worked like a charm! Thanks a million.

Now, one more quick question, I do have one other forum, I would like to exclude, how would I go about excluding two or more fourms?

I tried putting in the two forums(98,112) separated by a comma, but that didn't work, I got an error message.

PHP Code:


		
			
$wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10 AND thread.forumid!=98,112";

any ideas? Thanks again!

Enjoy :)

This is great, however, on my forums it still adds the excluded thread to the total number of new posts....does this happen for anyone else?

any way to exclude it from adding to the new post count?

Thanks, that last bit worked. Any way that someone could merge this with the other topic?

Baptizer

06-19-2003 11:32 PM

Thanks.. As a matter of fact, I've recently returned back and fighting with compiled mails.. :)

Very useful! I installed it a few months back and it's working fine in restricting but suddenly the member group I had setup to be able to see the full search now has been restricted as well and I can't figure out why. I must have a made a change to something somewhere that has affected this hack.

Sigh.

Logician

how exactly did you apply the hack to that member group in your code? I'd suspect that section of your code be the culprit.

Cyn	12-24-2003 07:07 AM

Thanks for your reply. I've restored search.php to the original so I can't show you that section of the code. I'm going to try redoing the whole thing and see if it works.

It can be easier.

Change the template navbar_atim
And change
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&minutes=15">$vbph rase[atin_Last_15]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&minutes=30">$vbph rase[atin_Last_30]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&minutes=45">$vbph rase[atin_Last_45]</a></td>

to <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&amp&exclude=152;minutes=15">$vbphrase[atin_Last_15]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&amp&exclude=152;minutes=30">$vbphrase[atin_Last_30]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=getdaily&amp&exclude=152;minutes=45">$vbphrase[atin_Last_45]</a></td>

&exclude=152 is the number of the excluded form.
