Forums block showing private posts

I am using the stock Forums block with PhpNuke 7.8. The script below shows all recent forum posts. I don't want to show private topic posts. How can I edit this to exclude private posts: Thanks

Code:

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}





global $prefix, $db, $sitename;





$sql = "SELECT t.forum_id, topic_id, topic_title, auth_view, auth_read FROM ".$prefix."_bbtopics AS t, ".$prefix."_bbforums AS f WHERE f.forum_id=t.forum_id ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 8";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);


$content = "<br>";


while (list($forum_id, $topic_id, $topic_title, $auth_view, $auth_read) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


    if (($auth_view < 2) OR ($auth_read < 2)) {


        $content .= "<img src=\"images/arrow.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"9\" height=\"9\"> <a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&amp;file=viewtopic&amp;t=$topic_id\">$topic_title</a><br>";


    }


}





$content .= "<br><center><a href=\"forums.html\"><b>$sitename Forums</b></a><br><br></center>";





$db->sql_freeresult($result);





?>

Well, I am confused because it looks like that block is already excluding private forums.

I guess you could try changing the "< 2" to "< 1", but what is there should work.

You could also try Raven's Collapsing Forums Block, set to view ALL forums and then put in its "exclude list" the forums that you do not want to show posts from.
