warning: this hack will add an addicional query to every page of the bb!

This hack will prepare a variable called "$favforumselect", that can be inserted in any page of the vb, and will show the subscribed (favorites) forums of the user.

>>>> in "phpinclude" template, add this:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
$favforums=$DB_site->query("SELECT forum.title,forum.forumid FROM forum,subscribeforum WHERE subscribeforum.forumid=forum.forumid AND userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] ORDER BY title");

$totalforums=$DB_site->num_rows($favforums);

if ($totalforums>0) {
$favforumselect = "<form name=\"subsforumform\"><select name=\"sforum\" onchange=\"JavaScript:subsforum()\" class=\"smallselect\"><option value=\"0\">select";

while ($favforum=$DB_site->fetch_array($favforums)) {

$forumperms=getpermissions($favforum[forumid]);
if (!$hideprivateforums) {
$forumperms[canview]=1;
}
if ($forumperms[canview]) {

$favforumselect = $favforumselect . "<option value=\"$favforum[forumid]\"> $favforum[title]";
}
}

$favforumselect = $favforumselect . "</select></form>";
} else {
$favforumselect = "";
}


} else {
$favforumselect = "";
}

>>>>>>> in the "header", add this:

<script name="JavaScript">
function subsforum () {
if (document.subsforumform.sforum.value != '0') {
gourl="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&&forumid=" + document.subsforumform.sforum.value;
document.location.href=gourl;}
}
</script>


>>>>>>> in "headinclude", add this:

.smallselect {
font-family : verdana;
font-size : xx-small;
}


Now you can add the variable "$favforumselect" anywhere in the templates where you want it to appear. It wont show forums that the user does not have permission to see, but will show non-active forums, the same way the subscribed forums list in the profile shows them. Hope you like it :).

hmmm...
that's not a bad idea. this way ppl can get to their favourites easily rather then clicking profile then show all.....

Is there an easy way to adapt some of this code to present either:-

- An option somewhere that will allow any user to see a list of all the users & the Forums (& maybe threads) that they have subscribed to)

-An option within a Forum to allow a user to see who else has subscribed to that Forum (& possibly threads within that Forum?)

This would be a great help! My users are concerned as to whether they are getting to their audience, ie. have the correct people subsribed to the correct Forums/Threads

Many thanks
