    [Forum] How not to include posts in whats new/rss

    I want to create a directory of businesses as posts in a forum category, but I don't want them to appear in "whats new", "latest posts" or the rss feed.

    Is there a simple way to do this?

    Sorry, there is no function to do this. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

      I'm using a plugin I found at org called Exclude Forums From external.php on my 3.8.6 site.

        Forums that are not visible to guests won't show up on the rss feeds.

          thanks for the replies. Perhaps i can just hide the forum, add all the posts and then make it visible? I will also check out some plugins.

          Anyway, I was surprised there wasn't a menu option for this.

            As soon as you make your posts visible, they'll be back on whatever subforum they were moved to's rss feed.

                There is no option to do that. It will show threads only.

                    Bummer. I could really use this feature. If I find one on vb.org I'll post the link for you.

                        It is odd that the RSS feature is an all or nothing option. I don't want other forums, etc. using my RSS feed to pull everything to their site; however, I do want to feed articles and blogs. I wonder if anyone has submitted a feature request for this.

                          The RSS feed option does not need to be enabled to import RSS feeds, and vise versa.

                            Zachery... am I reading by "vise versa" that if RSS is not enabled on a vb site XYZ.com that I could still pull a feed from it?

                              What exactly do you want to do, but not allow others to do, please be clear.
