Hide Threads from Ignored Users

[Jujubee]

This little hack will completely hide threads started by users that are on the viewer's ignore list.

What it doesn't do:

- ignored usernames still show up in the "Last post by:" column on the home page
- ignored threads still show up in searches (including "View posts since last visit")

Nice little hack:)

Thanks!

Do you know of a way I can hide posts from members on my ignore list, not just threads created by the member?

vBulletin as standard hides posts on your Ignore list...

No what i want is to hide the post 100% in a way you dont even know that, that member has posted there.

vBulletin at default will hide the TEXT of the member and give back a message of "This member is on your ignore list. Click Here to view the post" or something along those lines.

I dont even want to see that, hide it in the way you dont even see his name come up.

WoodiE, you need to edit functions.php or change the code in the postbit_ignore template if you want to hide posts for people who are on your ignore list.

Here ya go:

in SHOWTHREAD.PHP


FIND:
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

REPLACE WITH:

//don't get postbit if ignored post
if ($ignore[$post[userid]] AND $post['userid'] != 0) {
// do nothing
} else {
$postbits .= getpostbit($post);
}


Ok, so the if statement is kinda silly with the "do nothing" block, but it's more logical to me this way. :)
