Extra forum option to...

[filburt1]

...exclude a forum from the search indexing? Wayne at vB.com said it is very easy, so I'm crossing my fingers

[Admin]

Here's the basic code to do this. There might be a better way (without adding a query) but I really don't feel like chasing down all calls to indexpost() throughout vB.

Add this:

	$getforum = $DB_site->query_first("
		SELECT forumid FROM thread
		WHERE threadid=$post[threadid]
	");
	$forumid = $getforum['forumid'];
	if ($forumid == 5 or $forumid == 8 or $forumid == 14) {
		return;
	}

Right after this in functions.php:

  $post=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT postid,threadid,title,pagetext FROM post WHERE postid='$postid'");

Now it won't index posts from forums 5, 8, and 14.

Cool I was hoping for a more graceful way, i.e., assigning forum IDs through the admin CP, but what can ya do
