Stop certain forum from showing in what's new posts
 

Is there a mod that would allow me to stop certain forum from showing up in New post?

You don't need a mod to do this- there is a thread with how to instructions on vbulletin.com. I don't know if it's exactly the same way but on vB 3.x you just edit the links in the navbar template and add &exclude=X to the end of the link URL- where X is the forum id of the forum you want to exclude... if multiple forums use commas, example: &exclude=2,3,4

thanks for the help. do you know the instruction for vb4 on how to do this?

I would like to stop certain forums and it's child forums from showing in new posts and what's new but still include them in the search results.

I know there is an option to stop certain forums from showing up in new post but then it will also stop them from showing in search results. that's what I don't want to happen.

Is there a way to fix it?

I believe the instructions are the same same for VB4, did you try it?

Could you please tell me where to insert the code to? I went to nav bar template but couldn't find the code for new post and what's new button.

Open your navbar template...

Use the "find" feature in your browser to find all instances of:
There are multiple places, at least 6 I belive.

In all of them add
Where 2, 3, and 4 are the forum id's of the forums you want to exclude... edit them to your needs obviously...

Another option would be to copy your entire template into a good text editor and do a "Find and Replace"

Find:
and Replace with:

Thanks. I am going to try it now.

Sorry 1 more question. If have a parent forum with many sub forums in it that I don't want it to show up in new post. Do I need to enter all sub forums IDs or I can just enter the parent forums ID it will also include all the subforums?

My code looks like this

So I change it to

This is correct?
