How to avoid displaying private forums to public?

[new2php]

A while back I got help from a person on how to display the 10 latest posts, latest members and who's online on a non vbulleting page, in other words on your index page of your site. The code works just fine but now I've added some private forums and they show up in the lists of the latest 10 topics when I don't want them to.

I don't know any php at all and I was wondering if somebody can look at the code and help me modify it to "exclude" any topics being displayed from the private forums. Any help is greatly appreciated :nervous:

Here's the code:

<?PHP

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
//ignore_user_abort(1);
//@set_time_limit(0);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('SESSION_BYPASS', 1);
define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'cron');

chdir("./forum");
//echo getcwd();

include("./global.php");
include("./includes/functions_bigthree.php");

// ################################################## #####################
// last 10 members

$lastusers = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ORDER BY userid DESC LIMIT 10");
while($lastuser = $db->fetch_array($lastusers))
{

eval('$latestusers .= "' . fetch_template('site_latestusers') . '";');

}

// ################################################## #####################
// last 10 posts

$last10postcount = 0;
$getlast10 = $db->query_read("
### GET LAST 10 POSTS ###
SELECT thread.title, thread.threadid, thread.forumid, postid, post.dateline,post.userid,user.username

WHERE thread.visible = 1
AND delpost.primaryid IS NULL
AND delthread.primaryid IS NULL

LIMIT 15
");

while ($get10 = $db->fetch_array($getlast10))
{
//$getperms = fetch_permissions($get10['forumid']);
if ($last10postcount < 10)
{

$get10[fulltitle] = $get10[title];

if (strlen($get10[title]) > 27)
{
$get10[title] = substr($get10[title],0,24);
$get10[title] .= "...";
}

$last10postcount++;
$last10postdate = date("m-d-Y", $get10['dateline']);

$numberregistered++;
if ($userid != $bbuserinfo['userid'])

}

}

}

// memory saving
unset($userinfos, $loggedin);

$activeusers = substr($activeusers , 2); // get rid of initial comma

$DB_site->free_result($loggedins);

$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest;
$numberinvisible = $numberregistered - $numbervisible;

}

chdir("../");

include("header.php");
?>

Anybody? :nervous: I should've taken a php class... :disappointed:
