End-User Options - Ignore Thread: Allow Users to Ignore Threads of Their Choosing

As originally described, this hack adds an "Ignore Thread" option to the thread tools menu and generates a list of threads you have ignored in your UserCP. Basically it allows your users to ignore threads of their choosing, preventing said threads from showing up in forumbit, forumdisplay, and search results.

Import one product and edit two templates. Fully phrased. No PHP file edits. Tested on vB 3.6.1. Ported with permission. The original is here.

Maybe you are putting it in a conditional and the condition isn't correct so it isn't showing up. (There are two template edits to do. One in showthread and the other in usercp_shell.)

<tr><td class="$navclass[options]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td class="$navclass[ignoredthreadslist]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=ignoredthreadslist">$vbphrase[ignored_threads]</a></td>
</tr>

For this to work on 3.7, do I have to do anything different?

Many thanks

Folks, I've had this mod installed for a long time. I'm running 3.7 now and I swear that it was working but now the option to ignore thread is not showing up in the Thread Tools dropdown.

I checked and discovered that the template edit was missing. I must have missed it during an upgrade at some point. I re-edited the Showthread template though and the option still does not show up in the drop down. I have the "Ignored Threads" link in the UserCP but nowhere for a user to actually add a thread to their ignored list.

Did something change in 3.7 that requires a different edit in the Showthread template? I would really like to get this working again. I even tried re-installing the product but it still doesn't work.

[dknelson]

Never mind. Figured it out.

It still works at 3.7.2. But I did have to reinstall and re-edit templates.

[AndrewRich]

Installed! Also using the forumdisplay enhancement as well.

The users at my site love the ability to ignore threads. But, they complain of phantom posts generated from those ignored threads. Their unread post count will show a number and when they click on it, it will say no posts exist. However, the icon next to the forum area where the ignored thread is shows new posts.

If the ignored threads could be excluded from the Get New Posts count, that would be awesome.

Does this work on 3.7.4?

What template edits do I need to perform?
