This hack adds a yes/no option for forums, to select whether you want to display that forum (or category) on the main page.
I added a "sanity check", so you can't hide forums that have no parent (because then you won't be able to access any of its sub-forums).
I'll get a demo in a few minutes.

Demo::
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...&postid=172718

Installation::
Run this query:
Code:
ALTER TABLE forum ADD showonhome SMALLINT(6) DEFAULT '1' not null AFTER allowicons
In forum.php (admin folder) replace
PHP Code:
  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",1); 
with
PHP Code:
  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",1);

  maketableheader("Other Options");

  makeyesnocode("Display this forum on main page","showonhome",1); 
Still in forum.php, replace
PHP Code:
  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",$forum[countposts]); 
with
PHP Code:
  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",$forum[countposts]);

  maketableheader("Other Options");

  makeyesnocode("Display this forum on main page","showonhome",$forum[showonhome]); 
Still in forum.php, replace
PHP Code:
                       moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons, 
with
PHP Code:
                       moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,showonhome, 
Still in forum.php, replace
PHP Code:
                       '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies','$aallowicons', 
with
PHP Code:
                       '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies','$aallowicons','$showonhome', 
Still in forum.php, replace
PHP Code:
                     allowimages='$aallowimgcode', allowsmilies='$aallowsmilies', allowicons='$aallowicons', 
with
PHP Code:
                     allowimages='$aallowimgcode', allowsmilies='$aallowsmilies', allowicons='$aallowicons', showonhome='$showonhome', 
Still in forum.php, replace
PHP Code:
  // SANITY CHECK (prevent invalid nesting)
  if ($parentid==$forumid) {
      echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to itself!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
    exit;
  }
  $foruminfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid,title,parentlist FROM forum WHERE forumid='$parentid'");
  $parents = explode(",", $foruminfo[parentlist]);
  while (list(,$val) = each($parents)) {
    if ($val==$forumid) {
      echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to one of its own children!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
      exit;
    }
  }
  // end Sanity check 
with
PHP Code:
  // SANITY CHECK (prevent invalid nesting)
  if ($parentid==$forumid) {
      echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to itself!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
    exit;
  }
  $foruminfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid,title,parentlist FROM forum WHERE forumid='$parentid'");

      exit;
    }
  }
  if ($parentid==-1 and $showonhome==0) {
      echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't hide a forum with no parent!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
    exit;
  }
  // end Sanity check 
We don'e with forum.php, save and upload.

In index.php (main folder) replace
PHP Code:
$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder'); 
with
PHP Code:
$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND showonhome=1 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder'); 
We don'e with index.php, save and upload.

That's it! :)

Demo: :)

It says "You can hide a forum with a parent!" but it's "You can't hide a forum with no parent!". :p

squawell 09-17-2001 01:12 PM
master i am first reply your post!!

but i still can not use this hack in my forum~~~

cause i haven't phpmyadmin right now~~~

i think next time ba!!

by the way have any picture??--haha!!sorry~i see it!!

it looks great!! thanks your hack~~

shadowbreed 09-17-2001 02:20 PM
Tested on 2.0.3
Working great.

Great hack!!!

Freddie Bingham 09-17-2001 02:32 PM
Squawell this is the second time that I will ask you to enter your license into your profile.

DarkReaper 09-17-2001 06:10 PM
I'm not sure exactly what this does? Here's my idea of it:

You have the forum depth set at 2, so forums 4 deep aren't shown. But if you want one of those shown, you use this and select to have it shown, then its on the forum homepage?

I'm not really sure about this...

squawell: Enter your license info in your profile. To do that go to [url=http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?s=&action=editprofile]this[url] page and scroll down. Then enter your license and password.

shadowbreed 09-17-2001 06:57 PM
It's the other way around

Say you have the depth at 3 and have a category with three forums in it:

cat-->forum1
forum2
forum3

Now all forums are shown on forumhome under the category
turn of the show on forumhome switch and they are not shown on main page but if you click the category they're there.

DarkReaper 09-17-2001 07:04 PM
Oh! So its sorta like what happens when a forum is beyond the depth that is shown. Sweet. :)

bbensen 09-17-2001 07:57 PM
I just wanted to add, FireFly you rock!!!

I was looking for a collapsable forum feature, but this is just as good if not better!!!

Thanks I'm going to add this tonight.

Jawelin 12-05-2001 01:32 PM
Very nice...
Just something about 'sanity check'... :p

If I had some private forums within a category, can it be hidden by this hack if none of the subforums is visible to the logged user ?

Thank you very much
Bye

eva2000 01-01-2002 12:27 AM
nice i like this one :)

okay for 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 ?

Admin 01-01-2002 12:18 PM

[high]* FireFly is embarrassed :o[/high]

Just a remark... ;)

Stretchr 01-16-2002 04:50 PM
Thank you, Chen for another great hack. Just what I have been looking for.

TurboFC3S 01-20-2002 03:36 PM
Does this work in sub-forums also? Or does it just let you turn off forums on the main page?

Shenlong 01-20-2002 03:38 PM
can u add a installer or something? im not good with queries or SQL tables :o

Admin 01-20-2002 03:38 PM
Nope, only on main forum page.

Stretchr 01-20-2002 03:48 PM
The good news is that you don't have to be proficient with mySQL queries if you use FireFly's hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=26272

Couldn't be simpler than this! Thanks again, Chen. This is one of my all-time favorites! :D

TurboFC3S 01-21-2002 02:12 AM
So are there any hacks similar to this that allow you to do sub-forums as well? How about instead of show on forum home, give the option - show on parent page.

Does that make any sense what I'm talking about?

Any particular reason for pointing this link to vb.com, when it is in fact right here on vb.org?

So is anybody going to answer my question ... please?

Gutspiller 01-29-2002 09:51 PM
how about making this option available to the end user, and not just for admins? I could really use a hack like THAT. :D

Psychdrone 01-29-2002 11:15 PM
I am confused this will give you an option to either have the forum displayd on the main page? dose this work on 2.2.1?

Stretchr 01-29-2002 11:47 PM
Works on 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 quite nicely :)

"Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.9:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE forum ADD showonhome SMALLINT(6) DEFAULT '1' not null AFTER allowicons
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'showonhome'
