Default One category to show sub-forums & one category to hide sub-forums.

Hello folks. I posted a question at vbulletin.com and was told to inquire here....
Here is my original post at vb.com:

How do I set this up. I have been trying many config option but havent found anything that works. I wouldnt think this would be so hard to figure out.

This is for a new site I am creating. vBulletin v3.8.1

Example:

Category: (I want these subforums to be visible)
-forum
--subforum
--subforum

Category: (I dont want these sub-forums to be visible)
-forum
--subforum
--subforum

But this code needs to be adapted for the latest version. For example, there is no longer a phpinclude_start template. If you need help with this code then you can post on www.vbulletin.org .
I was told that there was a way do do this with a previous version but not 3.8.1
Unfortunately I am not a coder and dont know where to start to do this. Can someone take a look at this and let me know if a quick hack can me make to make this feature available. I have seen many posts with people asking similar questions.

Thank you!
