exclude from 'toplistings' ad of some categories

[frommarcq]

Hi,
I know that my questions are boring and give some headaches to the team.
Here's my last one (for today !)
I have some general ads, with categories dedicated to adults (dating).
The problem : in searches, and in toplistings (new/top) this kind of ads are displayed, and I don't want to hurt some sensibilities (and protect the children)...
I've created a disclaimer for these categories, but how is it possible to hide some categories in searchs/toplistings ?
(I 've got some aspirin if you want !)
Regards
Pascal

You would need to delve into the program and edit the category setup.

I would build an array, either store it in the database or in a hardcoded file of the categories I didnt want displaying.

This is not the code to use, just a basic schema.

PHP Code:

$adult_cats=array(1,6,8,14,25); // These are category ids of adult categories

// Then where your database calls are being made, try adding in this to your WHERE statements.

//EG

WHERE display = 'Y' AND 'expiration' > NOW();

// turn into 

WHERE display = 'Y' AND 'expiration' > NOW() AND section NOT IN($adult_cats); 


Hope that helps

Maffo, thanks for this suggestion.
It would be a good alternative. But if i do not want this kind of ads displayed in 'toplistings.php', they must be searchable...
If I make some changes in Listings.php, i'm afraid the dating ads won't be displayed in the both situations...
