After a bit of searching, I've found a basic way to exclude selected forums from the new posts listing.


Search.php find:

PHP Code:

WHERE forumid IN(" . implode(', ', $forumids) . ") 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

WHERE forumid IN (". implode(',', $forumids).") AND forumid NOT IN(x) 


X above should be replaced with the forum you want to exclude. If you want to exclude more than one forum, then simply separate each forum with a comma.

However, this would mean that your members who do want to see new posts regarding these RSS forums, won't see them. A solution to this would be to create a separate search.php file. Just copy the existing search.php and rename it to something like search-rss.php.

You can then add another link to your NAVBar or whereever you like to call this particularly search script and show new posts, i.e.

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/sear....php?do=getnew

I know this isn't an ideal solution, but it's a solution nonetheless. As already discussed, it would be better to have it prompt you if you want to include RSS feeds. Then again, for users that don't and never do, this would be undesirable as well .

I've just changed my NAVBar menu so that 'New Posts' was renamed 'Posts' and this has a drop-down menu, which allows me to select 'New Posts (No RSS)', 'New Posts (with RSS)' , 'Mark Posts Read' etc.

Hope you find this useful until another solution is developed. Maybe it will also help Slapyo on the query side anyway.
