Exclude a forum from 'Todays Posts'

[Cust0ms]

Hello,
Is it possible to exclude posts written in 'XXXX' forum from 'Todays Posts' list?

For example I have an "Off-topic" forum, that is getting several post per day, but I really don't want to have it take up half of the 'Todays Posts' results since the topics are irrelevant my site.

Thanks!

Create a new plugin...

Hook Location: search_start
Title: Exclude Off-topic from Today's Posts
Plugin PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'getdaily')
{
     $_REQUEST['exclude'] .= ',99';
}

Change the "99" number in the PHP code to be the forum ID of your off-topic forum.

You can just edit the URL instead. Here's a guide on the subject:

A limited solution.

Also, when I tried that, it kept attaching an SID and would not remember the URL. I will watch this thread to see how the plugin works for someone else because I have never done one before and I am a scaredy cat. :erm:

There was a plugin for 3.5 that did this and you could select in your UserCP which forums you wanted to show up. Anyone know where that plugin is?

I will add.. if your running VBSEO, you have to turn it off to get the true forum ID number to get the above plugin to work

Thanks!!!
