Ignore Board In New Posts

[sombra]

well i dont know alot of english but triying to understand alittle this mod can help me to hide some boards from the recent topics and post from the info center?

like a boards and his childboards?

[Kindred]

no. just one single board

[Dr. House]

I installed the mod successfully and it is not working.
I have it set for just a child board. But even when I set it for a normal board it still doesn't work.

I'm running 2.0 RC1.2

Hi mr mod author. Thanks, but however I will like to ignor up to 10 boards. Please help drop the code as I can't figure it out.

You need to look at the code it installed and maybe duplicate it with a few changes.

[donjazzy]

But I can't do it myself

[NanoSector]

Of course you can.

Reinstall the mod and look at the files it installed in.

Wow I keep getting PM's because I mentioned that I CRUDELY modded this mod to support ignoring 5 boards. I'm not proud of this code, and in fact, I think it's a crude way to accomplish what I wanted.

There is no initialization, so you have to properly input the 5 boards that you want to ignore. If you don't enter the data for 5 boards, this mod may not work or it may screw up your board with bugs, I didn't test this.

Attached the file that contains my mod to this mod.

I am not taking over support of this mod, but only share this because people keep PMing me for it.

So here you go, please don't PM me if this works, doesn't work, doesn't do what you want it to, you don't know how to install it, or you want help to make it do something else.  Now if you want to pay me to do something, that's a different story, but I don't work cheap!  LOL

If it's not appropriate that I share these changes here, feel free to delete my attachment or even this post.

I was using this on RC3. I have not yet tested it with RC4 to see if it will work or if it needs changes to install correctly.

Enjoy (or ignore)!

Oh pitfall, I installed the mod successfully, set it in admin in my RC3, but nothing worked.

He doesn't give support for that mod.

[Kindred]

did you clear your smf cache?

How do you know nothing worked? Are posts from that board still listed in the recent posts list or the "Show all recent posts" page?

By clearing cache you mean hit CTRL F5, yes I did that. To answer the second question, yes post from that board is still listed on recent post as it is, when the mod has't be installed. Thanks

[Kindred]

no... ctrl f5 is your local cache, not the server cache.
go to smf admin, maintenance, clear file cache

[donjazzy]

I guess the mod is not compactible with RC3 because I have tried my possible best yet nothing is still happening...

[Kindred]

1- upgrade to RC4...
2- I have been using this with RC2, RC3 and RC4 successfully...

[Robin1989]

is this likely to be upgraded to rc5 or work with rc5?

[Kindred]

it works fine....

[Robin1989]

ok thanks

I'm considering this mod -- but I really need several boards not to be "new" or "recent posts"  -- I'm using a RSS Feed mod to those boards, and none of those auto-generated posts should be "new"

Questions:

1) Are there alternatives to this mod for SMF 2.0.2 --- other similar mods?

2) I see the person who hacked this for 5 boards -- ugh....  I may need to do it to a dozen boards -- all RSS feeds

3) The author is listed as "Depreciated" -- is that just the name of a person,  or is it actually an indication that this mod is, well, "Depreciated"

Well, I applied the mod (actually the version posted here of doing 5 ignored boards) -- on my SMF 2.0.2 board

Mixed results:

1) Posts still marked as "new"
2) However, "new" indicator on the board stays off Nope. That also turns on. 
3) Posts still show up in the "Recent posts" list
4) "Show unread posts since last visit" -- does ignore the new posts

So I'm getting basically 1/3 functionality as the mod is described.   It does cause the posts not to show up in "Show Unread Posts"

But it fails to NOT list those posts in the "Recent Posts" list.   And fails by "lighting up" the new post indicator for the board.

I need both all -- anybody have any alternate mod suggestions?
