Hi peeps

I know there is a hack for this but what i am wanting to do is
permenatly turn off a couple of sections, I have a RSS news and a Google Alerts
and its a bit much when the members have to troll through the the news to get to the normal posts....

Is there away to permenantly do this please?

YES! I am also looking for this as well as the option to discretely search such a forum as well (show new post for this forum) option.

Pleas someone look into this.

This one is a user selectable one, which is controlled via the usercp.

Thanks I saw this however is it still possible to search new posts in that forum only afterwards? I want to make a drop down in the forum section header so users can forgo the new posts for that forum, however if they wish they can descretely get all new posts for the said forum if they wanted to.

this one stops all new posts from that forum, but then if they want to search it at any point, they can remove it from the block list in the ACP and then it will show in the searches.

Ah to bad there is no overide it would of been perfect!

Yeah this is a shame thanks Peterska, Love the new name colour

not sure what it means mind lol

Its a shame we can sepcifically opt out 1 or more forums as standard so that the user can deslect it should they wish...

Oh well thanks anyway peeps

I'll have a think Bashy as I'm sure there is another way of doing it.

(BTW, I'm staff now

)

Ok here we go

Code:

search.php?do=getnew&exclude=X,Y

Replace the X and Y with the forumid numbers that you wish to exclude from your search. You can add more id's by just seperating them with commas.

To add this to your current navbar

find

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

replace with

Code:

<td id="navbar_search_new" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=getnew&exclude=X,Y" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search_new"); </script></td>

making sure you make the X and Y replacements.

find

Code:

	<!-- header quick search form -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none">

above add

Code:

	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_new_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_popup"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=getnew&exclude=X,Y" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">Limited Search</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_popup"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=getnew" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Thanks peterska2....

Although i i have the have for the get new posts, by days, hours, minutes and so on
I aint too sure about where to add this to it...
On another note, I also have the hack that shows in the navbar that says

Welcome, Bashy.
You last visited: 27 Minutes Ago at 09:48 AM
3 New Posts since your last visit.

Its this 1 that shows up the all the posts from all sections and its this one that
the members have complained about showing the 200 posts from the news section lol

I aint 100% sure on adding your code to said hack

peterska2 · #10 05-21-2006, 08:26 AM

Ok in your navbar find the code for the new posts dropdown menu, and add the &excludeX,Y to the end of all the links in that section then add this to the very bottom of that code, just above </table>

Code:

<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_popup"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=getnew" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">All new posts</a></td>
</tr>

Also in your navbar find the search code near

Code:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

and again add the &excludeX,Y to the end of this.
