Topic: Recent Posts & Recent Topics

[Verso]

I have just installed this portal and am enjoying setting it up.

I've reached a situation I can't seem to fix.

I have a section of my site that is set up for RSS feeds. I do not want these included in the Recent Posts & Recent Topics.


Can this be done?

Not entirely sure that I understood what you want to do.
Do you have Recent Post/Recent Topics blocks that you don't want to show in a certain area?

No, he has topics in boards he doesn't want to show up in Recent Posts/Topics block. In other words, he wants to exempt boards from being queried for recent posts/topics for that block.

This is correct

Okay, sorry I must've been a bit 'out of it' this morning.

That is extremely easy as those blocks rely on imformation from the ssi functions.

These edits are for your SPortal(x).php file, replace (x) with your SMF version number, '1-1' or '2'.

Compact Recent Block:
Replace this code:

Code: [Select]

$items = $type($limit, null, null, 'array');
With this code:

Code: [Select]

$items = $type($limit, array(1, 2, 3), null, 'array');

Replace this code:

Code: [Select]

$posts = ssi_recentPosts($limit, null, null, 'array');
With this code:

Code: [Select]

$posts = ssi_recentPosts($limit, array(1, 2 ,3), null, 'array');
Replace this code:

Code: [Select]

$topics = ssi_recentTopics($limit, null, null, 'array');
With this code:

Code: [Select]

$topics = ssi_recentTopics($limit, array(1, 2 ,3), null, 'array');
Replace the '1, 2, 3' list, with a list of Board Ids that you want to hide If you onlt want to hide one board then just put the single ID there.

That worked a treat.........


Many thanks
