Hide Threads Posted By Ignored Users · **Released**: 04-21-2004

My posters feel that ignoring a user should mean ignoring them. This was easy in the posts view because I simply deleted the contents of postbit_ignore. However, there wasn't an equivalent for the thread view, so after a search on here I came up with the following mini-hack that will hide the threads from
ignored users in the thread view.

Step 1 - add a new template:

Title: threadbit_ignore
Template: 

(or just leave it empty if you prefer, but the comment reminds you what it's for)

Step 2 - edit file:

Open: forumdisplay.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
        'forumrules'

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
        'forumrules',

        'threadbit_ignore'

Find:

PHP Code:


			
                eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
                if ($ignore["$thread[postuserid]"])

                {

                    eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit_ignore') . '";');

                }    

                else

                {

                    eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

                }

Save & Close

Your users should now live in blissful ignorance of those they've ignored. My apologies if I have duplicated another hack, but I did search and didn't find anything.

Sounds like a brilliant hack to me, stops them nuisance posts. Well done

This was taken out of vb3? THey had it in vb2.

Ok, I get it, u don't want a thread to appear at all? or posts? cause right now if u ignore a user it says "This message is hidden because MindTrix is on your ignore list."

That's right. The "This message is hidden because X is on your ignore list" is irritating. If I've ignored X, I dont want to know he's posting. That is easy to change by editing the postbit_ignore template, but the thread display would still show threads that he's started. This hack hides those.

There is still one more place that I'll still see X on thread lists - when he's the most recent poster, but I haven't tackled that yet.

Is this working for anyone? It doesn't seem to work on mine.

tjdrico · #8 06-09-2004, 09:59 AM

It's working for me. =) Are you sure you followed the instructions correctly?

NuclioN · #9 06-10-2004, 05:49 AM

It looks if it does not work very good. Members reporting ignored userpost when testing this. I've followed the instructions.

If I have a user on ignore (either with or without this hack) will I still see what they've said if someone quotes them?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
