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'");

  $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;

    }

  }

  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! :)

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

Squawell this is the second time that I will ask you to enter your license into your profile.

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.

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.

Oh! So its sorta like what happens when a forum is beyond the depth that is shown. Sweet. :)

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.

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
