ignore threads feature???

[MarkG]

some of my forums have lots of traffic, and often you check back after 12 hours and every single thread is on page 2

how hard would it be to have an "ignore thread" list similar to the ignore (user) list?

if you chose to ignore a thread, it would make it not appear in the forumdisplay

would be intresting for me too...

thx

I have had a user request this feature today.

Anyone done it yet?

Here's how:

In FORUMDISPLAY.PHP, find:

while ($thread=$DB_site->fetch_array($threads)) { // and $counter++<$perpage) {


ABOVE it add:

//IGNORED THREADS
unset($ignore);
$ignorelist = explode(' ', $bbuserinfo['ignorelist']);
while ( list($key, $val)=each($ignorelist) ) {
$ignore[$val] = 1;
}


BELOW it add:
if($ignore[$thread[postuserid]]){
continue; //don't show this thread
}


Simpler than I thought.... :cool:

I think the requester wants a separate ignore thread section, where you can click a link at the bottom for the thread to be ignored so that it doesn't show up, and not to ignore the threads posted by an ignored user. :)

Whoops, sorry.

I've posted it as a hack:
