Hi
Is it possible somehow to exclude some categories from Latest posts?
If not, could it be included in a future patch?
cheers
Tindragon,
sorry, it is not possible in current version. Anyway, I like the idea. Maybe I will be able to realize it today.
Robbie
[Edit]
Posts which are not available for public will be not showed. There is a permission check in the module.
Tindragon,
there is an update. Please Download the Joo!BB Latest Posts Module and install/update it. Have fun.
Robbie
Ahh a bit too fast on the trigger there I guess....
it's not EXACTLY what I was looking for
The settings looked just like what I needed, but after seeing it, it's a no go.
I wasn't thinking of a seperate module to display in either right or left side of my site, but instead of the View option to "Show Latest Items" in the Configuration Manager of Joo!BB.
I would like too see the latest items for 2 of my 3 categories in my forum, but not all of them, which right now is the only option.
But you are on the right track
And thx for quick response and release of patch, very nice indeed
Tindragon,
I thought you mean the module.
Anyway, to implement latest posts on the board index is a good idea, too. Maybe there will be a RC2 tomorrow. We will see.
Robbie
Hi again.
Sorry I wasn't clear in my first post about what I meant
But the functionality of the module you made, is what I was looking for in the board index, if that makes sense.
You can see my forum http://fightingkittens.dk/index.php?option=com_joobb&view=board&layout=joobb&Itemid=65 here, and as you can see, the "Latest Posts" section is spammed with posts from the Madden category. It would be nice to be able to exclude that category, or even better, limit the number of posts to be shown in the "Latest Posts" for each category. So a max of 3 posts can be shown from each category for instance.
Hope it makes sense
Anyways, again, thx a bunch for your time and effort m8
Excellent forum you have made!!
Do you mean exclude posts from category X and Y from showing within the module?
If so, if Robbie can't find the time I can do a hard coded fix for you that will exclude certain category ID's. Can't be that hard.

Chris,
nice to see (read) you.
Many thanks for your offer. But, please don't care about it. It is already done in latest post module 1.0.7. I also made changes to latest posts on board index. This will be available in RC2. I think there will be a new release on sunday.
Robbie
Chris, Thx so much for the offer, really appreciate it
Very rare for me to encounter so much awesomness and so nice and helpfull people on a support forum. Says a bit about the quality and commitment. I LIKE!
RC2 sounds like what I'm waiting for Robbie
Sunday can't come soon enough.

Tindragon,
no, there was a release on 09/19/2010 (1.0.0 Phobos RC2). Please have a look at Downloads. You will be now able to exclude categories in configuration manager for latest items.
RC3 can also be expected next time.
Robbie
My bad
Looked at the wrong date when I checked download section last time hehe.
But now it works just the way I imagined. Thx alot m8!
Very nice update indeed.
