How do I make a test board?

[Deprecated]

Just make a board. Admin -> Forum -> Boards -Add Board. Call it whatever you like, then configure the modification with that number.

To configure, go to Admin -> Configuration -> Modifications -> Miscellaneous, and enter the number of the board that you want to ignore. Here's a screen shot:

Any chance to get working on 1.1.5?

[Deprecated]

Zero chance. SMF 1.1.5 has no Admin -> Configuration -> Modifications section. SMF 2.0 added the Modifications section so that adding a configuration interface would be easier for mod authors, and also to create a standard interface for configuring modifications. Mod authors can either install into the Miscellaneous section as I have for this mod, or they can add a new tab to Modifications if their mod requires a bigger screen. New modifications will increasingly become 2.0 only because mod authors want to use new features like this. It's too much trouble to write a separate old style interface to support a SMF version that is nearing obsolescence.

Well I guess I made that short story long. Here's the short answer: no.

[Sakae]

no.

That's what I've read.

Thanks, anyway...

Hey Deprecated... a nice interface for something I do manually now...

question:   Can you update this to allow MULTIPLE boards to be ignored? i.e. I want to ingore boards 55 AND 88

[willerby]

Can anyone help modify this mod (or provide manual coding edits) to stop posts on the ignored board appearing in the 'Recent posts' in the Info Center?

Must be a simple code edit but I can't work it out...

Thanks

Do you have a 1.1.8 version that you could maybe patch up ... ?

[Harvester]

I DESPERATELY need this for 1.1.8 please

I can not update to 2.0 so that is not an option.

Ignore Boards in 1.1.8

[Chas Large]

Hi Depricated,

Am interested in this for a future upgrade from 1.1.9 to 2.0 RC 1-1. I have a test forum that I'm testing things with before I make the upgrade for my members.

Anyway, I see in your intro "but only if SMF's Ignore Boards Options is enabled." Can you explain how this is enabled? or does it rely on your mod to be installed. I can't find this option anywhere on either 1.1.9 or 2.0 RC1-1.

Cheers
Chas.

This doesn't seem to work for recent posts. Is there anyway to block a board from showing in recent posts under the info center?

[Kindred]

it works for me in the recent posts section...

Could you share what you did differently? It only works for unread posts it seems as that other person confirmed. I read through a bunch of topics on the coding forum but nobody mentions how to do what I'd hope this mod would do on the 2.0 version of SMF.

[Kindred]

as far as I recall, I did not do anything differently...    I just applied the mod.

Is this mod still being maintained and 'supported'?

I could desparately use this as I have a board (with child boards) that has RSS feeds going into it. The members of the forum don't like to have to manually apply the 'ignore board' feature. And there is no way to set a default 'ignore board' for new members.

So will this be updated to work with 2.0 RC3 or later and is it still being maintained?

Also, since it only supports ignoring one board (I could use three or four, considering we also have a test board), if a main board is ignored, will that cause child boards to also be ignored?

Thanks!

[Kindred]

it should continue to work on RC3. and no, it will only target one board (that does not include child boards)

[imrich]

Kindred,

Thanks for the info.

I crudely modded the mod a bit to allow for up to 5 ignored boards. It seems to be working fine on 2.0 RC3.

[imrich]

Is it ok to post my mod to this mod which will allow up to 5 ignored boards? Someone has asked me for it and I'd like to know if it's ok to attach here.
