make a forum not show up in get new messages

[nferreri]

Any way to make it so a forum doesn't show up in get new messages?

You can edit the getnew posts link in the header and add &exclude=X where X is the forumid to exclude.

That works. Thanks.

If you want multiple forums excluded, put a comma between them, i.e. exclude=1,2,3

So the alteration would do into the navbar? I couldn't find a reference in header.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&exclude=15" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=15" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

Yes.

I've got the alteration made as listed above, and it's not excluding that forum. I've verified the forum id.

</if>

Where can I change that? I couldn't find it.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Again, and a reminder this didn't work.... What did I do wrong?

Thank you very much

Bump. . . . Any thoughts as to why the modification I copy/pasted above didn't work?

The exact code you posted is working fine for me.

Make sure that the link is changed on your forums. When you click the New Posts link it should be:

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=X

Ok. The problem is that I assumed that if I include a forum, it would take all the child forums into account. I've included all child forums as well as the main forum, and it's working now.


Thanks for the assistance
