Hide Threads Posted By Ignored Users

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: <!-- hide threads started by ignored users. Nothing to see here -->

(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.

Yes, as the quoted test becomes part of the post, and isn't something separate.

Yes, I followed the instructions.

ok if found out, why:

i doubled this code block:

// Get Ignore Users
			$ignore = array();
			if (trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist']))
			{
				$ignorelist = preg_split('/( )+/', trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist']), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
				foreach ($ignorelist AS $ignoreuserid)
				{
					if (!$buddy["$ignoreuserid"])
					{
						$ignore["$ignoreuserid"] = 1;
					}
				}
			}

who was inside if ($vboptions['threadpreview'] > 0) just above

		$show['threads'] = true;

For this to work, thread preview must be enabled or you can comment out the lines
// if ($vboptions['threadpreview'] > 0)
// {

and the close for that if.

or change:

PHP Code:

if ($vboptions['threadpreview'] > 0) 


to

PHP Code:

if(true) 


edit: this is a fantastic hack - thanks from all at http://www.visordown.com/forums/

I want a hack similar to this, but for posts. Sometimes it is necessary to read the thread, but users want the ability to be able to not see their posts. If someones on their ignore list, they don't want to see their drivel, but see the thread.

I'm guessing it's in showthread or similar, but no idea where to start really.

To totally hide a users posts you can just replace the postbit_ignore and postbit_ignore_global templates with empty templates.
