keeping one forum category off the index timeline?

Using Jamroom

Another way to approach this would be to create a new profile with their own profile# and their own forum which will function only as the site's separate For Sale forum...and then code in a way to prevent that profile's content from appearing in the site index page timeline.
So, either ID'ing the current forum category by number, or a new profile by number- and preventing that from appearing. Is either one more viable to accomplish than the other?

Would I look for this code in my active skin templates, in one of its 'index' templates?
(thinking it would be in my active skin's index_activity.tpl ?)

What are "Pending items" if not "Pending - users?

Using Jamroom

There is a funny way the Pending Tab in the dashboard functions that used to confuse me at first.
Like I would go to my dashboard and it would show the pending tab with apparently nothing pending, showing no pending users. In actuality there were indeed no pending users, but there was a pending event waiting that doesn't have a Tab for "items" showing the way "users" always has a tab showing. I'd have to actually click on the pending tab again for it to show there was a pending item.
Not sure exactly how it does all that, but I suspect it's the same thing that PJ is referring to above. It gives the impression that there is nothing pending when in fact there are items pending.
This is hard for me to describe until it happens again and I can take screenshots and describe better.

Ok, going private now. Hope I can help you, if it's an issue I can quickly recognize.

keeping one forum category off the index timeline?

Using Jamroom

I have a profile forum for my site- the site forums all being owned by a profile I created called "Forums".
That profile's forum has various categories, including a For Sale category. I'd like to 'somehow' prevent that particular forsale category from appearing in my site's Main page Activity feed.
In my custom skin's index_activity.tpl, I have this code to prevent profile page comment wall comments from appearing in the activity timeline on the main page:

I'm wondering if I can add a specific forum category to that using a similar code in that template?
If not, then is there perhaps a way to create another profile and have that profile 'own' only a For Sale forum (with maybe 'no' categories)...and somehow prevent that profile's forum posts (or maybe ALL their content) from appearing in the main index page Timeline? And to be clear- I'd want any reply posts to the forsale forum to also NOT appear on the main page.
Somehow, I want to have a particular forum that all members can freely access and post in, but not have any of it appear in the site's main page activity feed.

hiding profile info on my Profile Forum pages (again)

Using Jamroom

Yes, but is the screenshot showing what the member sees when the (circled) "Forum" tab is selected, or is it showing what is seen when the "Newest Posts" tab is selected? In your screenshot, I can't figure out which of the two tabs is actually the active tab there- one is white and one is grey.

Do you have no forum discussions on your site?- that makes it a bit hard to figure out what/where we are in screenshots. Maybe you can make a test discussion, that might help clarify what we're looking at in a screenshot.
Does your "Community" profile have any followers?- try removing them, and maybe that Followers tab will also disappear...if there are no followers for that profile.

hiding profile info on my Profile Forum pages (again)

Using Jamroom

You've not really answered my question though:
In your screenshot, what do you see and to what url do you go when you click on the "forum" tab i've circled in red here?

The website Menu (along top of pages) for the link "forum" will take your members to wherever you tell it to take them to. That's why I'm trying to ascertain how your links are set up right now, in case that's where the solution can be gotten.

Are you using your Community profile for any actual purpose besides housing your site forums?
Also, is that screenshot from the profile page of your Community profile?- or it is where members are led when they click on your main site menu 'forum' link (if you have a link to forums there)?
and... I assume you have a test profile in the regular members quota that you can log in as to see what members see. (remember, you see all tabs by default when logged in as admin)

I forgot where a certain groups setting is...?

Using Jamroom

Oh wow...yes! This is great because now I know exactly how/what was done. Thus, I know it's enabled for Admins only ...so if in the future or for my other site i might want to allow the creation of groups by some particular quota- at least I now know where the code is and it'd be a simple matter to add another quota to the code or to remove it to allow certain other quotas to create groups too...I'll know how to proceed while still keeping those pre-existing groups from disappearing.
Thanks very very much for taking the time to find where that customization was Brian. I'll mark this 'mystery' as solved.
