Selective Forum Filter

What's That For:
It enables your forum users to selectively hide various forums from the forum list and from search by using the new "Edit Forum Visibility Mode" on the index page of your forums.
When hidden, users can access those forums using direct url, or using the edit mode.
The user will still be able to access his hidden forums by using direct url, and he will be able to search from within them.

1.07
[+] Bugfix release..

1.06
[+] Now you can also enter visibility edit mode in subforums. That is useful when there are many forum levels and thus not all of them are accessible from forumhome.
[+] Edit mode is now saved into cookie, so until you either exit from that mode or close your browser, your state will be saved between pages

1.05
Two more template changes that were forgotten about in 1.04.

1.04
Major Update! The confusing type-in-digits text field in the user profile is no more. Now, to edit forum visibility, user must simply click on a new link, and that link will take him to the edit interface. See screenshots.

Note: Of course, guests will not be able to access that mode.

1.03
Once again the manual has been corrected...

1.02
[BugFix] The subforums now get hidden as well (subforums are the list of forums that are outside your forum depth view).

1.01
My apologies - The manual has been incomplete. A query and a step were missing.
This time everything is fixed

1.00
First Public Release

P.S. I do not think there is a screenshot needed here, because the only visual thing the hack does is a new field in user options panel.

I WILL ONLY PROVIDE SUPPORT IF YOU CLICK INSTALL

Why would you add it to forumhome_forumbit_level1_post?

[akanevsky]

Uhm. Yeah. Now I see why. Is there anywhere I can read about which one of those four templates affect the forum in each case?

[Lionel]

What would you like?

[Lionel]

This is really cool. It removes entire subcategories if you select the parent above. When you first came out with the hack, it did not make sense to me to ask users to jot down forums numbers on a piece of paper so they could input them in control panel. Now it is 100% perfect. Thank you for improving it.

[akanevsky]

Nevermind. Also do that change for forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost.
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll update the archive.

[akanevsky]

Lionel. As it states in the description, it does hide the entire category, however it will still be present in search facility. You need to check EVERY forum you want to hide from search facility manually

[akanevsky]

Update: v1.05

To update, simply apply changes to the following templates:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
(of course, use the manual to find out what changes to make )

That'd be awesome Visor.

I use some simliar code on my site, but nothing near this precise or clean

It hides then by groups rather then individually with a link to turn them all on again.

It would certainly make this hack more "dummy proof" for the users that aren't too computer minded
