PHP Code:

foreach ($excludeforums AS $forumid)
{
    $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['displayorder'] = 0;
} 


to avoid the file edits?

Btw: Where is the Product XML?

Hmm... That hooks only works within if ($getcounters)... And I am not sure that $getcounters are on everywhere. I'll have to research that before I can say yes.

The reason is that I have a hidden forum on my board. It's set to inactive, which as described in the admincp prevents it from showing up on the forum view, but is still open if someone knows the URL to it. But it also shows up through the "get new" feature, and I'd like to avoid that. I don't want to make the forum a password-only or limit by permissions or masks; I want it to be accessible to anyone clever enough to find it, but I don't want it to be too too easy, either.

This sounds like a vBulletin design issue. Post the problem on vBulletin.com, cause hidden forums should not show up through "get new".

It will not play nicely. Instead, it is a modified version of his Opt-Out product, which features everything there is in Kirby's product plus removal of forums from forums list, which Kirby refused to add as a feature.
