vBForumViewControl 1.2

[eltro]

Hi there,

i have written a hack, which allow's registred users to hide
unwanted forum's for themselves.
I think this hack will be very interesting for board,s with a
big range of forum topics

The package contains 3 screenshoots, 1 gif picture and
the install.htm file.

Thanks for posting the zip file MetroSports82.
Now, I don't need to do it :cheeky:

[snyx]

what about a link that would show new posts for only showing forums?

now that would be a livesaver :)

[Intex]

Nice idea Eltro. I'll add this to my install list :).

[Smoothie]

How many extra queries does this add?

[eltro]

@snyx
the next version will have it ;)

@smoothie

For displaying the forums i use currently 2 querrys.
For showing the list in the usercp 2.


An update is in work and will be released in the
next few days, depending on the time i can spend for it.

You might want to translate this hack to English. I have no idea what this mean:

template No.2
name: redirect_updateinaktiveforen


content:
Deine Liste der inaktiven Foren wurde aktualisiert.

[eltro]

@boofo
template No.2
name: redirect_updateinaktiveforen

content:
Your List of inactive forums has been updated.

[Boofo]

You might want to add that to the install file for others who can't read it, too. ;)

[Logik]

whoa. i got lost as well. lol

[ImportPassion]

i did this a while ago since it was in my fusetalk forums. Mine is a little more elegant. It shows the complete list in a multi-select list in the forum options. I added a new field to the user table called forumnoshow and has a coma separated list of forums not to show. then in the queries to show the forums I do a WHERE NOT IN $forumnoshow.

I can release it if there is enough interest. But not till after vacation which is June 2.

v1.2:
Hack added to search.php cool, but does this takeover the users getnew posts, or can there be a seperate link to getnew in hidden forums. I want my users to be able to click one link to veiw all new posts, and another to view just the shown forums

[eltro]

@snyx
the changes i have made in search.php will only show threads or posts from shown forums as result for every search request.
If you want a seperate link for your users, save the hacked search.php to
e.g. search2.php and add the folowing html link to your board:
<a href="http://example.eg/search2.php?s=&action=getnew">
Get new posts in shown forums </a>
This shoud work.
