[tony78]

Hello guys ,
I got lots of CPU problems from the Visitors because of watching new/threads

so how can i Disable it and keep it just for Registered users

/index.php?find-new/threads

You can edit this template to add a condition around that link:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> navigation

Add the red code:

		<!-- forums -->
		<xen:if is="{$tabs.forums}">
			<li class="navTab forums {xen:if $tabs.forums.selected, 'selected', 'Popup PopupControl PopupClosed'}">
			
				<a href="{$tabs.forums.href}" class="navLink">{$tabs.forums.title}</a>
				<a href="{$tabs.forums.href}" class="SplitCtrl" rel="Menu"></a>
				
				<div class="{xen:if {$tabs.forums.selected}, 'tabLinks', 'Menu JsOnly tabMenu'} forumsTabLinks">
					<div class="primaryContent menuHeader">
						<h3>{$tabs.forums.title}</h3>
						<div class="muted">{xen:phrase quick_links}</div>
					</div>
					<ul class="secondaryContent blockLinksList">
					<xen:hook name="navigation_tabs_forums">
						<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}"><li><a href="{xen:link 'forums/-/mark-read', $forum, 'date={$serverTime}'}" class="OverlayTrigger">{xen:phrase mark_forums_read}</a></li></xen:if>
						<xen:if is="{$canSearch}"><li><a href="{xen:link search, '', 'type=post'}">{xen:phrase search_forums}</a></li></xen:if>
						<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}"><li><a href="{xen:link 'watched/threads'}">{xen:phrase watched_threads}</a></li></xen:if>
						<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}"><li><a href="{xen:link 'find-new/threads'}" rel="nofollow">{xen:phrase whats_new}</a></li></xen:if>
					</xen:hook>
					</ul>
				</div>
			</li>
		</xen:if>

That code change by Jake would have hidden the link, but not denied them access. To deny them access you'll have to edit the PHP code:

protected function _preDispatch($action)
{
    $this->_assertRegistrationRequired();
}

Add that code below this code:

<?php
 
class XenForo_ControllerPublic_FindNew extends XenForo_ControllerPublic_Abstract
{

In this file:

library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/FindNew.php

That will stop anyone that isn't registered from viewing the what's new page
