Omit forum from today's posts

I tried this before in 3.6 and apparently it wasn't possible...hoping it is in 3.8


Navbar edit:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=166" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

Does not work.

This is a plugin that works for "new posts"...any way to use the same for "Today's posts?

Just thought i'd try my luck again. I received some help previously at vbulletin.com about omitting the rss from appearing as a "new post". I would like to omit the rss in the same way from the "last post" when you are on the main page.

Is it as simple as adding some code like this?

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ',98,32';

This works as of 3.5:

I was looking at that but it doesn't seem to work for "Today's posts"...only "new posts".

[Jake Bunce]

It works for both. You need to add the same code to the Today's post link.

[scorpio24]

Right you are...

[scorpio24]

ok...I had the import set every 4 hours so they are still being added to "Today's posts".

These are the current navbar template edits.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=166" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=166" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

<if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=166">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td></tr></if>

It seems to be working for me. I went to your site and tested that link with the "exclude". Maybe you were viewing a cached search. Try again.

[scorpio24]

Right you are again Thx Jake.

I am trying to find out how to exclude an entire category of forums for getdaily.

It seems that when you exclude a main category, the subforums in that category are still not excluded. Am I right?

[Jake Bunce]

Correct. You have to list each individual forum.

[Byron]

but there is a limit to the url for how many forums you can exclude... I tested a site with a big list of excluded forums, but the list got truncated.

[Jake Bunce]

I am not aware of any hard limit on the length of that parameter. How long is the list you are using?
