Forumscroll - Config to ignore private / hidden forum posts

New Member Joined: Feb 13, 2008 Posts: 6

I just installed this on Nuke 7.9 - nice !

Id like to mod it so that the private and hidden (moderator or admin) type forum posts dont get shown.

I guess a config type thing like:

$ignore_pvt = 0 // 0 to include pvt / hidden forums, 1 to ignore

Then modified code in the countdown sequence. Anyone interested to help?
I know some PHP, but am bad with the globals.

Post the block here and perhaps we can tell you how to modify the SQL.

Warning, not tested, but try changing this line:

Code:




$result1 = sql_query("SELECT topic_id, topic_last_post_id, topic_title FROM ".$prefix."_bbtopics ORDER BY topic_last_post_id DESC LIMIT $amount", $dbi);

to this:

Code:




$result1 = sql_query("SELECT b.topic_id, b.topic_last_post_id, b.topic_title FROM {$prefix}_bbtopics as b, {$prefix}_bbforums as f, {$prefix}_bbtopics as t WHERE b.topic_id = t.topic_id AND t.forum_id = f.forum_id AND f.auth_view = 0 ORDER BY b.topic_last_post_id DESC LIMIT $amount", $dbi);

If that doesn't work, try another block. There are many out there that exclude private forums.

Ok, thanks, not bad. Its no longer posting the private etc posts. It is however avoiding a forum which is in a group of other forums that are private, and is in fact public. Id also like it to post announcements as well as stickys, if they are as recent. I will play around with some others as you have sugguested. This will work for me for now though, thanks again Smile

UPDATE - EDIT: Scratch that comment about it avoiding the forum - that forum is indeed hidden, so the script really works perfectly.
