How to exclude forums from Get New Posts

[PromotePoker]

Hi

I saved this tidbit of text in my surfing, basically its a way of using the new posts and excluding a forum. My applogies for not listing the original source, didn't seem to save it :(:

search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew
and replace with:
HTML Code:
search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&exclude=XX where XX is your news forum ID.

So to exclude one forum is easy, just replace XX with the forum id, but what formatting would I use to exclude, multiple forums? For example forums 5,22,23,24


Any help would be appreciated,

thanks,
Jason

Thanks, that was easy enough . I actually thought of trying the commas, but I'm not a coder, I'm a direction follower

Thanks again,

Jason

A question about this - I would ask over at vB but often they are unhelpful and also it could potentially be vbSEO-related. I have done this change through the admincp, however, rather than going to:

http://www.mysite.com/search.php?do=...de=21,22,33,44

(<td class="vbmenu_header"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&exclude=21,22,23,24")

it simply goes to http://www.mysite.com/search.php?searchid=727

Does anyone know the reason for this? Would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

You can use a plugin to do this without change the html code.

Create a new plugin like this:

Product: vBulletin
Hook: search_getnew_start
Name: Exclude Forums from New Posts
Execution Order: 5
PHP Code: $vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ',1,2,3,4,5';

The numbers are the forum id's you want to exclude.

That's all!

Works like an absolute charm - thank you so much!

That's great. Any idea on how tro set up that same plug in the version 4 as there is no hook by that name.

I am trying to exclude certain forums from both the "New Posts" and "What's new" links on the navbar
