PLEASE TELL ME HOW DO I DISABLE IT

[JBlaze]

Admin -> Features and Options -> Recent posts to display

Set to "0"

[Afro]

admin cpanel >> current theme>>Number of recent posts to display on board index:

set it to zero and save.

[Rohan_]

no i want to disable this option >> View the most recent posts on the forum.

the option you guys saying is already set on 0 but i want to disable View the most recent posts on the forum.

this option is shown in forum stats

[Kermit]

.in Themes/{your_theme}/BoardIndex.template.php

You can either make it just for the admins visible

Code (find) Select Expand


<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=recent">', $txt[234], '</a>


Code (replace with) Select Expand


<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=recent">', $context['user']['is_admin'] ? ''. $txt[234]. '' : '' ,'</a>


or remove it completely

Code (find and remove) Select Expand


<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=recent">', $txt[234], '</a>

Hi a member just pointed this out to me and i have boards on the forums that are protected.

Like VIP boards and what not.
By clicking the little recent posts button at the bottom or searching in google lets say
YOURWEBSITESNAME, the name of a member, Recent Posts

Type that in google and you will see cached pages of them boards u didn't want people to see.

Now I dunno much about the software in SMF so I was searching all over to close this loop as fast as I could.
I basically found in "Recent.php"

Code Select Expand

// Get all the most recent posts.

and replaced it with

Code Select Expand

// Get all the most recent posts.
if ($user_info['is_admin'])

Now this shown the page numbers to anyone else but did not reveal the recent posts.
So thats a huge bonus

also adding the

Code Select Expand

is_not_guest();

Can anyone advise me of a propper way of doing this. Or is this method O.K.

Its basically stopped anyone other than admin vieweing recent posts just displays the page number 1 to 10

I have enabled it for multiple member groups to view this because i have mods that are o.k. to view any post in the forums.
So mayaswell give them the option to use recent posts.

Code Select Expand

if (in_array(10, $user_info['groups']) || in_array(15, $user_info['groups']) || in_array(18, $user_info['groups']) || in_array(20, $user_info['groups']) || in_array(22, $user_info['groups']) || $user_info['is_admin'])

Thanks.

Also I know this is in the 1x forum but I'm using SMF 2.0 RC2

./Sources/Recent.php

is_not_guest();

This is fantastic - thanks, exactly what I need to try to encourage my very many guests to login (it worked on 2.0.15 too, and the same logic can be used with the search facility).
