To tell the Recent topics display on main page to use only certain categories?

[snoopy_inc]

Hey all,

I dont know if this is the right place for this.... but can i make my recent topics on the main page pull only topics from certain categories..... IE i want it to not count a certain board.  Can it do that? or how would i make it do that?

Thanks

There are a few scripts that does this.. have you tried looking in the block code snippets ??

One of my favourite is "In-the-news-block"

erm... im talking about the recent new posts window.... is it possible to strucutre it so that one can tell it to ignore a board?

You can change or add a link to exclude boards by doing something like this.

Boards = boards you want to include.

How would i make it work with the recent top posts block on TP?

Or must i create a block and input code?
