I would like to know this as well. btw... great hack :up:

sorry again... how can i exclude threads from some forums wich i don`t want to show? I mean without forum permissions.

For example:
1. Forum1 is tech forum (open for all) and post from it can be shown in Last Posts box.
2. Forum2 is flood/flame forum (open for all as well) BUT i don`t want to show post from it to anybody in Last Posts box!

i was trying to change forumid here, but it doesn`t work:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 


Thanks!

to show closed threads i guess you should change:

PHP Code:

    WHERE open = '1' 


to:

PHP Code:

    WHERE open = '0' 


or delete that line at all.

Change:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 


to:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0,X,Y,Z$limitfids) 


changing X,Y,Z to the forumids, note the lack of a comma after Z.

To show closed threads removed the open = '1' and the AND which should be on the line after it.

perfect! thanx a lot....

if it possible (only if you really want to do that) i`d love to see one more thing:

I have Forum Home Page with your Last Threads box - that is Home Page for one site forum (http://www.mysite.com/forum). Then, i have forum (for example ID=2), which i use as Forum Home Page for other site bbs (http://www.mysite.com/forum/?f=2). So it`s look like Forum Home Page also and has same Last Threads box.

Now, i`d love to see on original Forum Home Page your Last Threads box but exclude threads from foumid=2 (like you said me above). BUT, when i use my second Forum Home Page i`d love to see Last Threads ONLY from that forum and subforums...

Is it possible?
I don`t push at you with that mod, but if you`ll make it it`ll be amazing!
Good Luck!
Sorry for my english....

Find and replace the following Line (I know you've edited this so this is what it looks like in the install file:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 


with:

PHP Code:

".iif($_REQUEST['forumid'] == 2, 'AND forumid = 2', "AND forumid NOT IN (2,X,Y,Z$limitfids)")." 


X,Y,Z are those forumids which you wanted exluded before.
