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.

Can anybody else confirm if it does or does not work for 3.5.4? Thanks.

I'm looking at the code and maybe I'm missing something, but since when did setting a forum's display order to 0 make it not show up at all?
I just install it on my board (3.5.4) and this hack not working too (installing was successfully, but in User CP I can't see an options to exclude forums) :tired:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare forum_accessible() (previously declared in /home/satellit/public_html/profile.php(916) : eval()'d code:1) in /home/satellit/public_html/profile.php(916) : eval()'d code on line 96

not sure what this means.

Does it mean that I can stop user from excluding a forum (and viewing new posts for that forum) if that forum is set to exludable=1?

just updated this hack to 1.1.0 and have problem:
1) in introduction say next:
[sql]UPDATE PFXforum SET exludable = 1[/sql]
but in table FORUM field exludable not exist, this field must be exCludable. Example:
[sql]UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 1[/sql]
2) why to disable and enable exclude used same value - 1 ? May be to enable value must be 1 and to disable - 0 ?
3) in USERCP can't select forum list to exclude, I run queries, but this can't help me (see an attachment).

Same problems here as 4yBak. Tried both '1' & '0', but neither populates the forum list in User CP.

<later that same day...>
I did discover that if you "save display order" in Forum Manager, Options starts displaying the forum list.

Hello, I also recently installed the latest version and I get this error whenever I try to access the edit options page:
Code:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare forum_accessible() (previously declared in /myforumsdir/profile.php(916) : eval()'d code:1) in /myforumsdir/profile.php(916) : eval()'d code on line 96

Does this hack add an option under "Forum Searching Permissions" when editing a Usergroup. I installed this hack and it seems to be working fine. But I do have a blank option under that heading, like:

Code:
Forum Searching Permissions
Can Search Forums 	Yes No 	
	                Yes No
Can Use Natural Language Search(Only applies if Fulltext searching is enabled) 	Yes No
Can Use Boolean Search(Only applies if Fulltext searching is enabled) 	Yes No
I am trying to track down out if this hack adds that blank option and if so, what the phrase should say.
