How to exclude specific forums from stats.php

[loveley]

Is there a way to exclude specific forums from participating in stats.php?

In my board there are forums with content and chat forum and I'd like to exclude chat forum from showing up on stats.php, because stats.php right now looks like:

the most popular:

• talk#1
  
• talk#2
  
• talk#3
  
• talk#4
  

And this information is not very valuable..

Go to AdminCP>Forums & Posts>"your forum option button">Edit Forum

Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options" and uncheck:

Yes, posts in this forum should count towards user post counts

That will not stop it showing on the stats.php page.

I think the only option here is to do a core edit:

In inc/class_datacache.php, around line 759 find:

$query = $db->simple_select("threads", "tid, subject, replies, fid", "visible='1'", array('order_by' => 'replies', 'order_dir' => 'DESC', 'limit_start' => 0, 'limit' => $mybb->settings['statslimit']));

and replace it with something like

$query = $db->simple_select("threads", "tid, subject, replies, fid", "visible='1' AND fid NOT IN (1,4,7)", array('order_by' => 'replies', 'order_dir' => 'DESC', 'limit_start' => 0, 'limit' => $mybb->settings['statslimit']));

Just replace the IN (1,4,7) part with the list of forun IDs you don't want it to get threads from.

I've not tested this, but in theory it should work.

Thank you, everything works like a charm.
