New Posts Question

[ringnews24]

Under new posts (recent posts) http://ringnews24.com/boxingforum/se...earchid=353377

Is there a mod available to stop users/forum sections from showing up in NEW POSTS?

Thanks

[ringnews24]

Anyone?

Why would you want to exclude forums / users from that search?

[ringnews24]

I have a boxing forum and when users log on and check recent posts, it contains spoilers (fight results). And on a boxing forum the members dont like it. They want to still talk about boxing before they get a chance to download or watch the fight.

I would like to exclude some users and certain sections.

I have a few users that auto post boxing news, and I would like to exclude some users also.

Edit the Recent Posts tab in the Navigation Manager, and change Target URL to this.

search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&exclude=X,Y,Z&contenttype=vBForum_Post

X,Y,Z being the forums that you want to exclude. I don't think there is a way to exclude certain users.

Thanks Ozzy47.

That worked brilliant.

Is there anyway to remove it from the activity stream also???

The Target url in activity stream says - activity.php{session.sessionurl_q}

You would have to add two new plugins. ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Add New Plugin

This is untested, but it should work.

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: postdata_presave (excludes replies to existing threads)
Title: Exclude Forum Posts From Activity Stream
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

if (in_array($this->info['forum']['forumid'], array(X,Y,Z)))
{  
           $this->set_info('skip_activitystream', true);  
}

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: threadfpdata_presave (excludes new threads)
Title: Exclude Forum Threads From Activity Stream
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

if (in_array($this->info['forum']['forumid'], array(X,Y,Z)))
{  
           $this->set_info('skip_activitystream', true);  
}

X,Y,Z are of course the forums you want to exclude. This will only work on new threads/posts not existing ones.
