Can view certain forum depending on profile choice

[blackice912]

Alright, I have this idea I wish to setup on my forum.

Say I have two forums. The first one is a CD forum and the other one is a FLOPPY forum.

In the user's profile they have a dropdown asking them what they prefer: CD or FLOPPY. If they choose CD from the dropdown, a forum becomes visible to them and allowing them to use the CD users forum. If they choose the FLOPPY from the dropdown...same, except FLOPPY forum, of course.

If someone could help me out with this, that would be great. :bunny:

you should wait for vb3, with it it would be much easier :)

Probably, but I'm the impatient-type :p

Heck, if someone can just tell me what the PHP/MySQL code would be to make vBulletin not show a specific forum, then I could do it and *actually* release the full thing for use ;)

To not show it in forumforum is uber-easy. To not show it in searches, subscriptions, forumdisplay, and a billion other references is a major PITA.

Hey that's cool, it's just a way for me to customize the forum choices depending on their interests.

And since I do not know of this "uber-easy" method, would you consider sharing it with us lessers?

In the query to get the list of forums, just add a AND forumid != forumid.

Ah, much thanks filburt. I hadn't thought of that.

Then again, I am limited to what the Matrix lets me learn.
