Ever wanted to exclude some of your forums from the external.php output, without having to add and maintain a huge include list?

Now you can, this mod adds two attributes to the external.php query string.
  • excludeids is a comma delimited string of forums to exclude from the external.php output.
  • notitleids=1 will not list all the included forum ids in the RSS feed title.
Why was this mod created and how is it used?

We redirect all our feed requests to feedburner and use it to serve all our forum feeds. We have a feed for each of our individual forums and a general feed for the entire site. Recently we added some commercial forums and don't want to clutter the feed with the commercial content, so we needed to exclude two forums. Our forum feed string now looks like:
Code:
http://forum.voxilla.com/external.php?type=rss2&lastpost=1&excludeids=97,98&notitleids=1
How does this mod work?

This mod uses the hooks in external.php to add the new settings without the need for custom code modifications.

Where do you edit the forums to include/exclude in the ACP?

I didn't add any ACP control.

The excluded forums are controlled from the external.php query string.

Hi

Even though I have the &notitleids=1 command in my url, for one of my forums it still shows the ids when I add more then 2 forum ids to exclude.

http://www.patientenfragen.net/exter...3&notitleids=1

On my other forum, this problem does not exist even with 3 ids in the url.

http://www.elternfragen.net/external...2&notitleids=1

I have no clue why this happened

Thanks for this mod.
