I have no plans to have it respect usergroup permissions for thread titles at this time. I really don't even know how to start that and more importantly, it's not a feature I conceivably would ever need myself.
However to specify just forums to exclude is an easy change.
In the
TWO plugins,
All Topic Forumdisplay Thread Count and
All Topic Forumdisplay Threadid change the line:
PHP Code:
$hook_query_where = "*/ WHERE forumid IN ($alltopics) AND sticky = 0 $prefix_filter $visiblethreads $globalignore $limitothers $datecut";
to
PHP Code:
$hook_query_where = "*/ WHERE forumid NOT IN ($alltopics) AND sticky = 0 $prefix_filter $visiblethreads $globalignore $limitothers $datecut";
Basically adding the word "NOT" to the code.
Now when you specify a master forum the numbers after it will be EXCLUDED instead of INCLUDED in the master forum,
for example:
Will make 2 a master forum that includes threads from EVERY forum except 11, 20, and 58.
