Umm... What exactly do you mean by "sub"forums?
The way I did it, it hides every forum starting from the one your specified.

On my board, there is only one depth level.

Oh! Now I understand what you are talking about! And what the code is for, too. Thanks. I'll add that.

Manual has been updated once more :) Thanks, kall.

Did you catch the search.php error that causes each forum to show up twice if not in the excluded array? ;)

In the install file, Should be:
As far as I can see, logically, the way you had it, it said: "If the forum is not in the excluded list, and the member has permission to see it, show it in the list of available forums to search. Then, If the member has permission to see it, show it in the list of available forums to search."

The way I have it, it is saying ONLY "If the forum is not in the excluded list, and the member has permission to see it, show it in the list of available forums to search."

lol. yeah you are right :)))) Idk, I was probably rushing through the code.

Actually... I only see one instance of that eval in my search.php
Are you sure you did everything right?

Nevermind. The thing is, I have modded my file, but forgot the fact that the line was originally there :)

All good man, I am happy I was able to help squash these little bug. :)

Very very nice, I'll have to test this one out. I do something with the $hidden_forums array right now, but this is much cleaner.

I wonder how one could go about making a small link to disable a forums display...

Then people could just click the link for the forums they want to hide while viewing forumhome.

Any chance of having a multiple check-box with all forums listed? So users can conveniently select the forums they want to hide? That will really complete this hack.

Anyways, good work.
