Hide Selected Boards from Recent Posts Display

[Sav]

We used the code at the foot of this post to hide non-essential boards from swamping recent posts displays (e.g. our quizzes).

Could similar be done in Version 5 please?

(Members can still do a full search on the search button)

Thanks in advance

Sav

=========================================================
Old Code in main footer

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* hide selected boards from search results */

var boards = /^(quiz|deadquizheaven)$/gi;

if(location.href.match(/ion=(search2|(user)?recent)/)) {
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
if(a.item(i).href.match(/action=display&board=(\w+)&thread=(\d+?)&page=\d+$/) && a.item(i).parentNode.className == 'cattext')
{
if(RegExp.$1.match(boards)) {
var obj = a.item(i).parentNode;
while(obj.className != 'bordercolor') {
obj = obj.parentNode;
}
obj.style.display = 'none';
if(obj.nextSibling) {
obj.nextSibling.style.display = 'none';
if(obj.nextSibling.nextSibling)
obj.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}
}
}

we talkin a LOT of boards or just a couple? because it seems this would be an easy template modification if just a couple.

[Sav]

Thx for taking time to reply.

On my forum it would only be about four boards max where multiple posts irrelevant to our boards purpose are flooding the 'Recent Posts' display.

Quick and dirty would be fine!

are we talking about the "recent posts" link in the IC?

support.proboards.com/posts/recent/

^ that?

[Sav]

Yes we are, and we have configured a button in the top menu strip as well.

here is the "Thread Listing" template I came up with:



{foreach $[thread]}
{if $[route.name] == "recent_threads" && $[thread.board.id] == "15" }
{elseif $[route.name] == "recent_threads" && $[thread.board.id] == "17" }
{elseif $[route.name] == "recent_threads" && $[thread.board.id] == "4" }
{else}
<tr id="$[thread.content_id]" class="$[thread.content_class]">
<td class="icon">$[thread.icon]</td>
<td class="checkbox clickable">$[thread.checkbox]</td>
<td class="main clickable" title="$[thread.short_content]">
<table>
<tr>
<td>$[thread.icons]</td>
<td>
$[thread.labels]
<span class="link target">$[thread]</span>
{if $[thread.pagination]}<div class="ui-micro-pagination">Pages: $[thread.pagination]</div>{/if}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td class="created-by clickable">$[thread.created_by_user]</td>
<td class="replies clickable">$[thread.replies]</td>
<td class="views">$[thread.views]</td>
<td class="latest last">by $[thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br />$[thread.last_post.date]</td>
</tr>
{/if}
{/foreach}
{if !$[thread]}
<tr class="last">
<td class="last center" colspan="7">No threads were found.</td>
</tr>
{/if}

Thanks, I can see a 'Thread' template which has three tabs. 'Thread', 'Post List' and 'Quick Reply'

 Does this go in at the end of the 'Post List' template please? where I can see code relating to recent posts?

The logic of your template

for each post
  if unwanted board 1
  elseif unwanted board 2
  else post it
end for each

I've been looking for existing code to replace.

advice appreciated

Sav

look under the board template. you will see a "thread list" template

I just threw in arbitrary numbers. you just need to replace with the board ids of the boards you want to affect. if you have more, just duplicate the line:

{elseif $[route.name] == "recent_threads" && $[thread.board.id] == "17" }



and you need to replace ALL of your thread list template with what I have, not just add the lines at the top.  the bottom has the closing {/if}    

[Sav]

Many thanks, will try later this evening.

[Sav]

Have made the alterations and it works fine for recent threads thanks.

I was actually after 'recent posts' specific board exclusions, is that possible please?

Thanks again,

Sav. 

[Wormopolis]

same concept in the "post list" template:


{foreach $[post]}
{if $[route.name] == "all_recent_posts" && $[post.thread.id] == "6" }
{elseif $[route.name] == "all_recent_posts" && $[post.thread.id] == "8" }
{else}
<tr id="$[post.content_id]" class="$[post.content_class]{if $[post.even]} even{/if}{if $[viewing_recent_posts]} recent{/if}">
<td class="$[post.unblocked_class]">
<table role="grid">
<tr>
<td class="left-panel" rowspan="2">
$[post.created_by.miniprofile]
</td>
<td class="content">
<article>
<div class="content-head ui-helper-clearfix">
<div class="info">
$[post.thread]
<span class="date">$[post.created_on]</span>
{if $[post.how_posted]}
<span class="post-method">via $[post.how_posted]</span>
{/if}
$[post.likes]
</div>
<div class="controls">
$[post.quote_button]
$[post.edit_button]
$[post.likes.button]
$[post.select_options]
</div>
</div>
<h3 class="title aria-hidden">Post by $[post.created_by.name] on $[post.created_on]</h3>
<div class="message">$[post.message]</div>
</article>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="foot">
{if $[post.edited]}
<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
{/if}
{if $[post.created_by.signature]}
<div class="signature">$[post.created_by.signature]</div>
{/if}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
{if $[post.is_blocked]}
<td class="$[post.blocked_class] content center">
<div class="message note pad-bottom">This post is hidden</div>
$[post.display_blocked_post_button]
</td>
{/if}
</tr>
{/if}
{/foreach}
{if !$[post]}
<tr class="last"><td class="last center" colspan="1">No posts were found.</td></tr>
{/if}

Very many thanks, will try this evening or tomorrow as soon as I can.

[Sav]

Tried that but did not get anywhere thanks.

I guess it's because this triggers on post.thread.id and not board.id as before and I was trying for. Tried changing it to post.board.id but without success thanks.

Sav

[Wormopolis]

sorry I dont know what I was thinking

try post.board_id

[Sav]

Wow, that was quick!!

Nocturnal??
