Filter for Latest Topics Tab

[Bocksanders]

I would like to be able to apply a filter to the latest topics tab.

The challenge is that we have a political forum that while extremely popular, it is also unwanted by some members.

I would like a way to make the posts in the political forum not show up in the latest topics tab.

Any way to do that?

Thanks!!

You can edit the long URL that is used, in order to exclude the specific node (forum) IDs that you don't want showing up.

AdminCP > Channel Management > Channel Manager will show you what the node IDs actually are.

Then you have to add the code below into the JSON string that forms the URL:

exclude

• array – list of node ids that need to be excluded from the results.
• number – the id of the node that needs to be excluded from the results.

{ "exclude":[1,2,3,4] }
{ "exclude":"24"
}

In that example, 1,2,3,4 are four forums that are to be excluded. OR use the second line to exclude a single forum (in this case, 24).
