Prevent specific category from showing in 'recent'

[mudmanc4]

Scenario: Adding a feed to show in it's own category where (category = {place whatever here})

Final outcome: category = {place whatever here} does not show in recent, as recent is the default landing page, and specific feed does not need to be there.

Thoughts?

@mudmanc4 you can create a plugin to listen for hook filter:topics.get and remove topics from that specific category.

Wouldn't that filter the topics from everywhere, including the category page itself?

[pichalite]

@yariplus right... it does.

looks like there is no way to do this... even modifying core to do this is not going to be easy based on the way it is built.

[mudmanc4]

I'll simply set permissions to allow only those who need to see the category, ugly but semi- functional until I find another way.

Thanks for the input.

It's only reading from a sortedSet for recent.

A filter:topics.updateRecent should work I think, to filter it out based on the cid of the topic.

[pichalite]

@yariplus the PR you sent... that's for creating a plugin to not add any new topics from the category to the recent list right... it won't let you filter out any existing one's from the list?

[yariplus]

@pichalite Right, it only prevents new posts/topics from going to the Recent page.
