Does anyone know how to do this?

I found this information:

Add this plugin in the hook search_getnew_start with title "Exclude RSS-Forums":

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ',45,46,47';

Just replace the forum IDs.

However I have no idea what he's talking about, as far as 'adding plugins to hooks'.

Any help is appreciated as I like RSS feeds, but hate them blocking up the new posts area.

Answer is all there, I logged on looking for a answer how to block feeds in "New Posts" also.

Here is the how you apply the answer, using the information:

Add this plugin in the hook search_getnew_start with title "Exclude RSS-Forums":

1. Add this plugin = go to "Plugins & Products" in your admin CP
2. pick option "Add New Plugin"
3. look attached jpg for screenshot of the created plugin.

Hope it helps we all learn different things at different times

Is there a way to exclude the RSS bots from appearing in other tallies, like top poster?

That would be useful. Say just blocking an entire user from being counted.

This should work ...

1. Open /includes/class_dm_threadpost.php

2. Find:

                                        $user->set('posts', 'posts + 1', false);

3. Replace it with (replace the 2 with the userid of your bot):

                                      if ($this->info['user']['userid'] != 2) {
                                        $user->set('posts', 'posts + 1', false);
                                      }

This should prevent the bot's post counter from ever going up. If your bot already has say 1000 posts, just apply the mod and then set the bot back to 0. Doing it this way would of course not help if you updated post counters based on actual posts on the board, but that could be modded also - I believe inside /admincp/misc.php.
