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.

Can we get a vB3.5 mod of this?

Is there any possible way to port this to 3.5?
