Is there any way to tell which forums to pull from instead of all forums. As in I just want the portal to show stickies from one certain forum. I looked around but couldn't find any info on this.

Thanks in advance

Ok, when I set the "forums" option it doesn't seem to restrict the announcements to just that forum, as in if I put in forums=1 it doesn't restrcit to announcements just in forum 1

Do I need to change somethng in the code in overall_header or just in the options panel?

You are probably right, and it is questionable whether something asking for specific types of posts should respect the forum restriction.

The portal is still being developed, and we expect this sort of question to arise.

So does that mean it will just show all announcements for now and not just the ones from a certain forum?

Or am I determining the forum ID wrong?

I have just checked the code and we deal with this, if in the ANNOUNCE options you put:

filter=PORTAL

it should only show announcements from the selected forums.

In the owner control panel options.

[ANNOUNCE]
filter=PORTAL

you should



as most the portal options are set in ways similar to that.

Oh ok, well I put it in the overall header code and it worked there too...

Ok great, so I imagine I can use the forums code in there to so I can restrict different forums for different portal windows, excellent, thanks for the help.

And I did try searching some, guess I searched for the wrong things
