are you talking about the sp_RecentPostsTag() template function in the template tags plugin??

per the codex, there is not an exclude… instead you have to use the forumIds argument and pass the forum ids that you do want to show…

there is an open ticket to add an exclusion, but not ETA…

Thanks, is great to hear that! 

I´m reffering to this button!

oh, sorry didnt catch you were talking about that…

but why would you want to exclude a forum from there?  what’s the use case?  maybe I am just missing it…  you only see forums that you have permission to view already…

so afraid no easy option type way to exclude a forum from that list..  frankly, its never been asked for before…

but a couple of ways it can be done:

o  use the filters for the list topic class to exclude the forum you want to

o  edit your sp theme, the spNewPostsView.php template file… find this statement:

            $spListView = new spTopicList($spThisUser->newposts[‘topics’], $count, $group, ”, $first);

and change it…  the fourth argument, currently ”, and change it to a comma separated list of the forum ids  you WANT in the posts… no way to exclude, list the ones you want…

Hi! First of all thanks for helping me and my english

i tried it… but doesn´t worked for me…

this is what i wrote

$spListView = new spTopicList($spThisUser->newposts[‘topics’], 0, $group,1,2169,2188,2271,2206,2211,2217,2220,2224,2228,2,2186,2182,2184,2230, $first);
sp_load_template(‘spListView.php’);

what is going wrong? 

Carlos,

the comma separated forum ids need to be a string…  so

$spListView = new spTopicList($spThisUser->newposts[‘topics’], 0, $group, ‘1,2169,2188,2271,2206,2211,2217,2220,2224,2228,2,2186,2182,2184,2230’, $first);
 

Hi… i have been testing and doesn´t work for me…  

Are they really genuine forum IDs? That means you have created over 2000 forums? Is that literally correct?

I imported from BbPress so… maybe that is the reason of those high numbers… 

take a look here:

Ah yes – that would explain it.

When you say it doesn’t work what, exactly, does that mean please? And also – it would be interesting to understand why you need to do this as Steve (Mr papa) asked from the start. If it is just a matter of access by certain users then this should be taken care of through the user groups and permissions which is a much better way of doing this as it then applies to every view.

The main reason is that my site is a guitar teaching site with a community, where users interact with others… 

I have also a forum where the users “ask for a guitar tutorial” or “request a song”, this is one of the more used forums, so is very difficult to the users to keep on “whats happening on” outside the “request” forum…  

So… that is the main reason…  

hope you know what i mean… my english is veeeeery bad!!! 

thanks in advance

Your English is fine. And I understood perfectly what you meant.
I will look at the code later today to se if I can find any reason for a problem and let you know what I find.

thanks  

ticket is open, so research needed… will let you know what we find….

Could you try something for me please?

Could youy replace that line if code with these two:

$groupIDS = array(1,2169,2188,2271,2206,2211,2217,2220,2224,2228,2,2186,2182,2184,2230);
$spListView = new spTopicList($spThisUser->newposts['topics'], 0, $group, $groupIDS, $first);

and let me know if this resolves it for you…?
