Show/Hide Private Forums

Show/Hide Private Forums

Description
vBulletin already has a setting to specify if a Forum where the User does not have Permissions
should still be listed or not.
Unfortunately, this is a All or Noting setting, eg. you can't show your Premmium Members Forum,
but still hide your Staff Zone.
This Hack turns this into a Forum Setting, making it possible to show one Forum but Hide another -
no matter the the global setting is.

Details
1 Product XML with 2 Plugins and 3 Phrase
7 File Edits

If somebody has got the ultimate Idea how this could be done without File Edits i'd be more then happy to know :)

History
1.0.0 Initial Version
1.0.1 Fixed a Typo in the Install Code which caused a Query not to be executed properly.

Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall whan you don't use it any longer!

Imagine the "Show Private Forums" setting from ACP / vBulletin Options / vBulletion Options / Forum Listings Display Options in Forum Manager - Screenshot done.

I don't understand this exactly.

In 3.0 you can set forum permissions for every usergroup.. choosing to show the goodies section for premium members and the admin section to admins only. It wasn't all or nothing. did this change in 3.5??

Take a look at ACP / vBulletin Options / vBulletin Options / Forum Listings Display Options / Show Private Forums

If this is set to either Yes option, Forums where the User does not have Permissions will also be listed - all of them.
This Hack just breaks down this setting to Forum level.

Really that difficult to understand?

Ack. This is a Bug in vBulletin.
Fixed the XML and updated the ZIP.

Hi Kirby,

Got the following error when I try to add a new forum in the admincp, when I disable your hack all is okay, enabled it just throws this out.

*hmpf*

Run the following Query
[sql]ALTER TABLE forum ADD showifnopermission TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'[/sql]
(Keep Table-Prefixes in mind!)

Or redownload and overwrite.

Great MOD

Is it possible to get it to work for Sub-Forums on the FORUMHOME display?
It hides all the forums but sub-forums remain visible even if I select NO under the visible option.
