Why would you add it to forumhome_forumbit_level1_post?
|
Uhm. Yeah. Now I see why. Is there anywhere I can read about which one of those four templates affect the forum in each case?
|
What would you like?
|
This is really cool. It removes entire subcategories if you select the parent above. When you first came out with the hack, it did not make sense to me to ask users to jot down forums numbers on a piece of paper so they could input them in control panel. Now it is 100% perfect. Thank you for improving it.
|
Nevermind. Also do that change for forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost.
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll update the archive. |
Lionel. As it states in the description, it does hide the entire category, however it will still be present in search facility. You need to check EVERY forum you want to hide from search facility manually :)
|
Update: v1.05
To update, simply apply changes to the following templates: forumhome_forumbit_level1_post forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost (of course, use the manual to find out what changes to make :)) |
That'd be awesome Visor. :)
I use some simliar code on my site, but nothing near this precise or clean :) It hides then by groups rather then individually with a link to turn them all on again. It would certainly make this hack more "dummy proof" for the users that aren't too computer minded :) |

Really nice Hack. It works, but I had to change 2 things:
Forum is named forum.php not index.php: Code:
<if condition="$_REQUEST['e'] == 1 AND $bbuserinfo[userid]"> In forum.php (index.php) I added Code:
header("Location: forum.php"); Code:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET excludeforumids = '" . $bbuserinfo['excludeforumids'] . "' WHERE userid = '" . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . "' LIMIT 1"); |

Phalynx, Niceboy
What does the content of your posts have to do with my hack? |
I installed this and my users love it, howevr I have noticed what appears to be a bug, my users are reporting they can only hide 27 forums, any more then that and it does not work correctly. Is there any ways we can bump the number up to 50?
(I have a LOT of forums) :) Scott |
Try increasing length of the DB field.
|
And how would I go about doing that? I am not a programmer which is why I am using your hack. :) And a great hack it is!
|
Use phpmyadmin which is in your cpanel. :)
|
This is very nice i will install it soon :)
|
I know that. :)
But what do I change ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `excludeforumids` VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL ; to? And is there any way to modify the table without dropping it and readding it which would force the users to select their forums again. Thanks! |
That is the only field that you added in the hack. This is where you place the forums numbers, so that field is quickly filled up (1 2 300 etc...) with characters, so making that field 250 will give you more space.
|
ALTER TABLE `user` CHANGE `excludeforumids` `excludeforumids` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL
|
Dark Visor thank:)
|
Anyone know if this worked on 3.5?
My users LOVE this hack and it is a must have for my site. :) I will not upgrade to 3.5 without it. :D |
It will probably NOT work on 3.5.
However, if 3.5 will be successful and many users will upgrade, I might write a remake of this hack... |
When i click on the button to save, nothing happens.
Am i missing something ? . |
What do you mean - nothing happens? Can you be more specific?
It should just refresh the page, while updating your profile. If you then go back to homepage, you will not see the forums you hid.. |
Hi this hack is a real life saver! I have installed it but one main problem. Have a look:
http://www.apug.org/forums/ As you can see i have 3 languages, and each language forum contains all of the forums for that language -so basically most of my forums are subforums. How hard would it be to modify this hack so that I can use it with subforums? I am willing to pay for your services and need it as soon as possible, can you PM me? THANKS! |
I'll look into it..
|
VERSION 1.06!!!
[+] Now you can also enter visibility edit mode in subforums. That is useful when there are many forum levels and thus not all of them are accessible from forumhome. [+] Edit mode is now saved into cookie, so until you either exit from that mode or close your browser, your state will be saved between pages :) HOW TO UPDATE: 1. Download 1.06 package. 2. Redo changes for index.php 3. Do new changes involving forumdisplay.php (the file was not used in prev. version) 4. Redo all template changes using the new manual 5. Done. |
This is great! I am going to install it today and send you some paypal :) :) :)
Thanks! |
ok I installed it as per instructions. Before the upgrade it was working, now after upgrading I do not have any forum errors and i have the check box visible on the subforums, but the "Save Hidden Forum State" button doesn't seem to do anything at all, it's just unresponsive. Any idea what I've done wrong? thanks!
|
Can I please take a look at it on your site? (Gimme URL please)...
|
1.07 :: BUGFIX RELEASE
To upgrade, simply redo steps that have to do with index.php and forumdisplay.php. 1 minute upgrade =) |
works perfectly now! :)
|
Good :)
|
I am curious, is there a way to see how many people are using it, or is this all specific to their accounts. I just thought it would be cool to know if 50 people are ignoring a particular forum or not.. Maybe I can see this info in phpmyadmin? thanks :)
|
The data for this hack is stored in "excludeforumids" column of the "user" table.
It wouldn't be easy to read it for a human, though, because it is stored as a simple list of IDs. Therefore there is no way to find out how many people are ignoring a particular forum. |
Please port this to Vb3.5 ASAP. :)
And also post your Paypal information. This should be STANDARD in Vbulletin! :D Thanks for the great hack! |
I have installed this, and when I go into edit mode, I can see the checkbox by the category names, but not the individual forums.
Also, when I go into subforums, it will show the checkbox by the subforums, but not the list of regular forums beloe a category |
