The only way to know is to try.

I've only tested it on 3.0.1, but I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work on 3.0.0. Just make sure you have good backups.

I can use it! Thanks.

Thanks Tom! It's working in 3.0.0 for me like a charm!

Excellent. Glad to hear it.

One thing my users noted...

Good job on the ignore thread feature -- however, it doesn't work when you do a "new posts" search -- I put a few of the political threads on iggy & they're still coming up when I pull up new threads...But when I go to the forum, they're not there...

Good catch, TJ. See, the problem is that I have no way of knowing what templates and files were modified (and how) without doing a side-by-side compare. So everytime an issue pops up that's what I have to do. Okay, this seems to fix it (I'll update the text file in the OP next):


open /forum/search.php

find the first instance of:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

add, after:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

add, before:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Don't suppose there's any such thing as an "ignore forum" option? We have a chit-chat forum and some of our users *hate* it, when they hit New Posts they can see a dozen OT posts. This hack would be useful if there was only the occasional one but I don't think it'll be enough

That's a good idea, Casparian. The logic is simple enough: Provide users with a way to select which forums they want to ignore, modify search.php to ignore those forums when returning "new posts", etc.

Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough about hacking (yet) to say exactly how to do it. Maybe you should start a new thread in the modification requests forum.

I have it up and running on 3.0.7 seems really good so far. I did get an error trying to save the forumhome_lastpostby template, but I ignored it, yikes, but i see no errors anywhere on my site. Does anyone know if there is something wrong with the below template code? Thanks!

forumhome_lastpostby:

At the very top, add:
--------------------------------------------------------
<if condition="in_array($lastpostinfo[lastthreadid], $ignoredthreads)">
Ignored Thread

<else />
--------------------------------------------------------

At the very bottom, add:
--------------------------------------------------------
</if>
--------------------------------------------------------

I am also looking for an "ignore forum" (that would exclude the forum posts from the new posts navbar) and an "ignore user" that does not display any posts by the user, both defined by my members in their user cp and not a system wide setting.

I got the same error...

I don't think this is right:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I think it is supposed to be more like:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Anyone tried this on 3.5.x?
