Again, not tested, but in the plugin code, find:

add above:

PHP Code:

AND forumid IN ($showfids) 


Now find:

PHP Code:

    // ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
    if (!$forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) {
        $limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
    } 


add below:

PHP Code:

$showfids = x,y,z; 


Replace [high]x,y,z[/high] with the forumids you want users to be able to view

Satan

Just wondering, Has anyone tested this yet????



To block forums from showing I believe this will work. Place the id of the forums here.. replace the zero with the forums you want blocked..

PHP Code:

 AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 


I just tested this and it works. These are the same instructions as for the other latest threads hack only you edit the xml file instead of the index file...

I guess I am just stupid because that does not work, I get errors.

[Chris M]

$limitfids = ',x,y,z';

Chris

[Prince]

that causes errors, the only way it works is with one number in there:

$limitfids = x;

Add

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php'); 


once at the beginning of the php code in the xml-file and change the position of the hook to global_start.

After that you should be able to use the code in the right column.
