New Posts

Hi

Is there a way of stopping threads within a specific forum showing up on the 'new posts' search?

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 normally be in the navbar. I think it occurs in a couple of places there, so you will need to edit each of those urls.

Isn't this possible from ACP?

Forum Manager > Edit Forum - Go > Index New Posts in Search Engine
(Setting this to 'No' will prevent anyone from being able to search in this forum)

What you would have to do is go into the templates and edit the link for new posts.

Open your style go to Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

The find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

And replace with

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;exclude=XX" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

Replace XX with forum IDs.

Nope, that option only has to do with whether someone may do a search in that forum, not whether it shows up when you ask for New Posts.
