Ignore Thread: Allow Users to Ignore Threads of Their Choosing
 

As originally described, this hack adds an "Ignore Thread" option to the thread tools menu and generates a list of threads you have ignored in your UserCP. Basically it allows your users to ignore threads of their choosing, preventing said threads from showing up in forumbit, forumdisplay, and search results.

Import one product and edit two templates. Fully phrased. No PHP file edits. Tested on vB 3.6.1. Ported with permission. The original is here.

First post .... *installed" :)

Nice.

Thanks. Works great! ;)

sounds good, does it have an option to allow which usergroups can do this, and which forums are excluded from ignoring?

O Thx...i Helped Suggest This:d

You Should Have A Count That Is Featured In Tha Profile That Tells How Many Of That Persons Threads Have Bin Ignored And U Should Add A Favorite System To Go With This

FANTASTIC...been waiting on this one for a while now. Installed and working GREAT.

I don't mean this as criticism, but what's the point? Can a user just ignore a thread by ummm...ignoring it? If you don't want to read it, don't open it.

any plans on a ignore forum?

Thanks for the thanks. :)

@hornstar1337: there are no such options
@tazB.ca: time is always a factor; lots of things I could but probably won't do
@steelerwatch: help control urge to click, avoid seeing thread title: 3x@mPL3!
@dirtycrow: there's Selective Forum Filter

I have been DROOLING over this feature at APUG and just asked Sean if it was original APUG code and was delighted when he directed me here! I will be installing this SOON.

THANKS!

I'm using this one for ignore forum. It wasn't written for 3.6 but is working perfectly on my 3.6.1 forums.

OK all you gurus...another question.

Do any of you use VBPortals? I love this mod but the ignored threads still show up in the active thread listings on my portal page. Is there anybody here who can help with that?

I coulnd't find the asnwer.. so I am going to ask you :)

Do you already know if it is possible to exclude threads from ignoring (for example: important admin threads)?

This is a great feature, thank you.

However, only one "problem". With the "ignore subforum in New Posts" one can define which usergroups who can use the feature. There should be something like this integrated in this add-on ass well.

Especially so that users who are moderators can't ignore threads.

Anyone know of a mod that allows this functionality automatically by user ignore?

Meaning.. if a user ignores a particular user.. they would like to ignore the entire thread started by that user. Any ideas?

Thx

Nice hack but said doesn't work on vba cmps latest threads view. Thanks.

Nice mode! Simple, clean, and useful. Just how I like them.

Looks like a great hack :)

I have a few questions:
Does this hack also ignore admin/moderator threads if members choose to?

Is this hack also compatible with 3.6.4?

Yes. I just installed it.

However, one of my members just sent me this advisory:

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this? This isn't a portal by the way - just the basic vBulletin forum index page.

Happy to hear it works for 3.6.4 I will wait to see if that bug is fixed before install. And an answer to if Mods/Admins threads can be ignored I would hope they can't be

:):):)

On Edit:

It works in 3.6.5!

Nice works with 3.6.5 will test for that bug. Only thing I have noticed is it display's the thread still in the STATS hack TOPX but everywhere else it seems to be gone.

Would this be able to be ammended to say something like..

Disable or Ignore all threads that have the Thumbs up icon in it? I have one root thread with all topics for 3 different systems in it. When you post a thread in the news item you need to select a post ICON. one for 360, one for Wii and one for PS3 so if you dont care about 360 news you could ignore anything post using the 360 icon?? Would this also exclude them from searchs??

what i would love to see, is ignore forum where u can select check boxes of what forums u want to see, in ur user cp, default is all checked

if one is unchecked the entire forum disappears for that user

What I would like to see is this mod expanded to allow users to ignore an entire forum or series of forums.

Can this be done?

Why must they ignore a forum? why not just.. not read it?

If you want to exclude forum from their new posts searches there are seperate mods for that.

I've used it. It's pretty good.

I have a very large messageboard with well over 100 forums in it. It is an rpg site with a separate forum for each rpg game. What I would like to see is a mod like this one that allows for my users to ignore forums that they are not involved in. That is why I want the "ignore forums" option.

Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted. Now to get them to add usergroup configurations as well.

BTW, instead of using the "reputation.gif" file to represent the ignore thread option, I modified the code to look for "ignore.gif" and then used this image. Feel free to use it yourself.

Quick question. Will this also block the threads from showing up in the Todays Posts or New Posts?

Also. Any way to ignore a whole forum instead of just one thread?

Still awaiting answers...

great add on!

Any answers please?

It will let your users hide a forum.

Thanks a ton Fungsten! =)

That's what I want to know too - it's kind of critical. Anybody know?
