Quick question. Does SMF support topic tagging?

If so does it also support a feature whereby a user could ignore posts with certain tags?

The only way to avoid a topic appearing in your "recent posts search" is to not have permission to the forum it is in... As far as I am aware.

Mr. Analog

Ok, just a thought.

Some sites I visit give users to set up filtering based on "trigger" words...

Mod Name:  Ignore Topics

Looks like this is a well supported mod listing up to the latest security update for compatibility, indicating it is still maintained.

"This mod allows you to select boards to ignore.  While ignoring a board it will be completely inaccessible to you.

To ignore a board go to:
Profile -> Ignore Boards Preferences

Two new permissions were created for this:
profile_ignore_board_own
profile_ignore_board_any

Which are required to change the settings.  These permissions are set on a per group basis.

This mod works by modifying the $user_info['query_see_board'] to not include boards whos ID matchs one of the ignored boards.

The admin can also decide to specify that a board isn't ignorable.  To do so open the edit board page and uncheck the appropriate box."

Of interesting note, at the bottom:

"SMF 2.0 has this functionality built in and therefore this mod is ONLY for SMF 1.1.x!!"

So since we're on SMF 2.0.2, shouldn't there be an option to ignore boards?

Lazy and I were searching for the same thing :)

In fact, from the SMF wiki:

"The Settings page of the Boards section of the Administration Panel allows you to set some basic settings involving the boards. The following settings are present on this page:

[..]

Allow boards to be ignored - Checking this option will allow users to select boards they wish to ignore."

http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=113.0

So might not even need a mod.

whoops, wrong link: http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Boards

Also the wording's a bit different on the correct link, but it still says in SMF 2 there's an admin option to allow users to ignore boards.

I have enabled the option, so you should be able to use it now.

As a User this is under Profile -> Modify Profile -> Ignore Board Options

it worked.

In fact, I had this thread already open so I hit reply now ... but if I go to "recent posts" after hitting "Post" here, I am pretty sure it will have vanished into the Memory Hole.


So if I don't reply to THIS post, consider it solidly working 100%. Thanks guys!

yup, doesn't show up in the "recent posts", but I can still find the forum and this thread by clicking thru the forum/subforum nav tree.

Well done, now nothing to see here, as you were, gentlemen...  8)
