DESCRIPTION

Ever came across large boards with a huge number of sub forums? Couldn't find your info? Wanted to run away from that huge load of stupid threads? This hack is intended to save your users from having such a horrible experience. It provides them with an opportunity to exclude any number of forums from the forums list (as well as from "get new"/"get daily" searches), which still letting them to access those forums directly and search within them, too.

STATISTICS

Products to Install: 1


INTRODUCTION

To enable "can be excluded" in all forums, run this query:
UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 1
To disable "can be excluded" in all forums, run this query:
UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 0
In both cases, PFX must be replaced with the actual table prefix that you have defined in config.php.
If you have not defined a prefix, remove PFX from the queries.
After you run either one of these queries, you must then open and save any one forum for the forum cache to be updated.

Yeah, 128 assuming forumids are all single-digits.
You can run the following query to lift the limitation:
[sQL]ALTER TABLE usertextfield CHANGE excludeforumids excludeforumids MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL[/SQL]
Make sure to replace "usertextfield" with YOUR_TABLE_PREFIXusertextfield

Forums must be set as excludable in order to be excluded.

Psionic Vision

This is a great hack, one of your best IMO.

It works great for large forums, for those users that do not want everything.

One question though... I have a user that has blocked out a catagory, however vbAdvanced still shows those threads/forum in the recent news block.

if there anything that can be added on to exclude those from there also?

Thanks
