how to hide some forums when a language is selected by user

[fxdigi-cash]

Hi mates,

I was wondering if it is possible to hide some forums when a user select a language from the language chooser or insert the language id in the address bar.

I was trying to do this:

<if condition="$langid=1">
hide forumid=1,2,3,4
</if>


I'm not really sure how the code have to look like....

However, the idea is as I mentioned above is to hide some forums when a user select different language and show them when he change back to the main language...

I hope it is clear.

your help is always appreciated.

Thanks,

is it possible no body knows how to do this?? I thought it is a lot simpler than what it looks!!!

Use a hook at the top of the pages you want to do this on:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['languageid'] == yy) $vbulletin->forumcache["xx"] = 0;

where xx is the forumid and yy is the languageid.

Thank you very much, Lynee.

That was a great solution. I will try it out and see how things go.

By the way, when you say use a hook on top of the pages I want, Did you mean to create a plugin at global_start so it goes whenever a page load starts??

any idea?

[Lynne]

global_start is deprecated, so you certainly don't want to use it. I didn't know what page you wanted to use it on which is why I said use a hook at the top of the page. If you only need it on the forum home page, there is no sense in using a global hook.

[fxdigi-cash]

ok, great to know. I will try that and see if things go well

Thanks so much, Lyenne

[Lynne]

For example, if you want it to only happen on the main forum.php page, then enter the code into a plugin using the hook location forumhome_start.

is this idea can applied to cms sections too?

[Lynne]

Uh, well, kinda.... there are no forums in the cms section so I'm not sure how you would use it there.

Thanks for the great reply, Lynne.

Will try it and see how it goes.

your help is appreciated. Thanks

thanks Lynne, I'm talking about the idea (hide section regarding the language selected), and of course I didn't mean use the same code.
I asked because I wish I could have a multilingual site using my vbsuite.

[Lynne]

Well, I would guess you could hide a section also using the same sort of condition.

I will give a try after get involved enough with vbcms codes :).
Thanks Lynee.
