How to Exclude forums from Similar Threads?
 

Hi,

How can I Exclude forums from Similar Threads section?

If someone can just point me to the right file where this sql query is, I think it should be possible just adding to that query something like ... WHERE forum id <> x ...

Please any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

I just found this mod but is only for 3.6 :(

Very often, mods from 3.6 will work fine in 3.8. Try it on your test site and see.

(If I recall correctly, that one just excludes listing threads from those forums. It doesn't stop it from grabbing threads from those forums when it first creates the similar threads list.)

I am sorry, I did not found the Paid Mods forum, could you please provide the link here?

thanks.

Did you have a look at the modification you linked to, to see if it works?

No need for paid mods, play with this (for fulltext searching only - I use a much more involved version on my site and it works - you will need to rebuild similar threads for it though):
hook_location - search_similarthreads_fulltext
I think I had to do it a bit differntly when we weren't using fulltext search, but I no longer have the code I used then.

Hi

Thank you for both replies. Yes I already tried https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=167096 and it does not works on 3.8. I will try the solution from Lynne and I will let you know. Thanks.
