IPB search function problem

mystified

I'm an admin on an ipb board for Mandriva Linux users. Our users had requested a mod for unanswered posts. I found one but the problem was that it searched all forums and we have several forums that posts never get replied to like our Security Advisories forum so the mod was pretty useless. But I found a way to select only certain forums by using the unique forum id. This is what I had.

$this->ipsclass->input['forums'] = '7,9,10,14,15,16,19,20,21,26,28,21,52';
$forums = $this->get_searchable_forums();

But now it has suddenly stopped working and is only searching the first forum, number 7. Is there some way to tell php to search all the forums I've chosen? If this is not enough information let me know and I will post what you need.

Thank you very much

would need to see the whole code to be able to help but would suggest a ipb board support forum would probably get you better advise faster.

Well I found a mod that uses the exclude function but it's not working.
This is the first part

}
		$this->ipsclass->input['forums'] = 'all';

	$forums = $this->get_searchable_forums();


	$mid    = intval($this->ipsclass->input['mid']);



	$forums = $this->get_searchable_forums();

	$mid    = intval($this->ipsclass->input['mid']);

Then

$exclude_forums = $INFO['exclude_unans_search_fora'];

Then in conf_global.php I have

$INFO['exclude_unans_search_fora']      =       '33,51,29,35,22,17,23,45,46';

but it's not working.
