Every so often, I need to stard a thread that I don't want people to post to yet (yeah, sounds weird, but we're a newspaper, so if we want to promote a forum for a specific article, we need to create the thread ahead of time so that the URL can be built into the article).
I've figured out how to hide the thread in forum_view - wrap the lines that loop the thread listings with something like
where hide_thread is a new field in the database for just this.
But how would I keep this from showing up as the "last post" in category_list? I tried wrapping it with the above code, which didn't work, which makes sense since it's looking in the forum table, not the post table.
Thanks!
