DESCRIPTION

Ever came across large boards with a huge number of sub forums? Couldn't find your info? Wanted to run away from that huge load of stupid threads? This hack is intended to save your users from having such a horrible experience. It provides them with an opportunity to exclude any number of forums from the forums list (as well as from "get new"/"get daily" searches), which still letting them to access those forums directly and search within them, too.

STATISTICS

Products to Install: 1


INTRODUCTION

To enable "can be excluded" in all forums, run this query:
UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 1
To disable "can be excluded" in all forums, run this query:
UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 0
In both cases, PFX must be replaced with the actual table prefix that you have defined in config.php.
If you have not defined a prefix, remove PFX from the queries.
After you run either one of these queries, you must then open and save any one forum for the forum cache to be updated.

When I try to Execute SQL Query I get this:

You are not authorized to execute SQL queries

So my question is, is there a way I can just add one category of the forum to be selected as an option of forums to turn off?

Go to your config.php fileon the server, find this:

Quote:
// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
// See the above entries for more information on the format.
// Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
// to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = 'XXXXX';
Replace the Xs with your user ID number.

Super work as usual, and most useful.

Testing this out as it has been requested by my users.

I have this working fine on 3.7.5. However, my forum uses categories which are hidden due to navigation menus (I have a tabbed navigation similar to here at vb.org).

If a category is set to "Forum is Active = no" it is removed from the list in the UserCP, as well as all forums that are a child of the category (regardless of their visibility). I understand the logic behind that, but need to work around this limitation.

I'm pretty sure I need to work around the following code during the build of the excludable list:-
PHP Code:
    if (!forum_accessible($forum$forumperms))
    {
        continue;
    } 
Logically that's "if the current forum is is not accessible, skip it an try the next one." Commenting this out isn't going to help as forum permissions are a crucial part of this building process (of course).

Any help on what I need to do to modify this to allow hidden categories. (not bothered about hidden forums btw).

TIA

Forums aren't loading in the options textbox. This is the forum and this is what loads:
Quote:
[Reset Exclusion]
Online
-- Game-Related
Offline
-- Everything Else
Most of the other forums are set to be excludable but aren't showing.

EDIT: Never mind, it was an inheritance issue. A poster above actually touched on it.
