New Posts

[wobbly]

I've searched the forums but can't seem to find what I want to know.

What I want is to be able to do is stop my hidden forums from showing in the New Posts page.

Is this possible?

They should not show if the user doesn't have permission to them. But what do you call "New Posts page"? The new posts link in the navbar?

[wobbly]

Yes.

What I have is a forum that is not shown on the forum home and would like to omit it from the new posts page so any new posts on this forum don't show. I want this forum to be freely available for all to view but for it to be seperate and available via a link only.

Is this possible without making it a user class?

To exclude forums in the New Posts button, you may add "&exclude=xx" or "&exclude=xx,yy,zz" (separate the forumids by commas) to the end of the New Posts url... ie. "/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=xx" This would be in the navbar. I think it occurs in a couple of places there.

Thanks for the replies and help.

if condition="$show['member']">
				<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
				<else />
				<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
				</if>

Is this what I need to edit in navbar?

And if so how do I edit the line without buggering up the code?

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?&exclude=xx,yy,zz$session[sessionurl]do=getnew " ??????

I said to add it to the end of the url, not the middle:

search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&exclude=xx,yy,zz

Sorry for being a muppet

[Lynne]

I like muppets.

[wobbly]

Hehehe, many thanks Lynne.

You should also use "&amp;" in place of "&" in the URL.

search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&exclude=xx,yy,zz
