This hack adds a yes/no option for forums, to select whether you want to display that forum (or category) on the main page.
I added a "sanity check", so you can't hide forums that have no parent (because then you won't be able to access any of its sub-forums).
I'll get a demo in a few minutes.
// SANITY CHECK (prevent invalid nesting)
if ($parentid==$forumid) {
echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to itself!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
exit;
}
$foruminfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid,title,parentlist FROM forum WHERE forumid='$parentid'");
$parents = explode(",", $foruminfo[parentlist]);
while (list(,$val) = each($parents)) {
if ($val==$forumid) {
echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to one of its own children!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
exit;
}
}
// end Sanity check
with
PHP Code:
// SANITY CHECK (prevent invalid nesting)
if ($parentid==$forumid) {
echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to itself!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
exit;
}
$foruminfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid,title,parentlist FROM forum WHERE forumid='$parentid'");
$parents = explode(",", $foruminfo[parentlist]);
while (list(,$val) = each($parents)) {
if ($val==$forumid) {
echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't parent a forum to one of its own children!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
exit;
}
}
if ($parentid==-1 and $showonhome==0) {
echo "<b>ERROR:</b> You can't hide a forum with no parent!<br><br>".makelinkcode("Go back","javascript:history.back(1)");
exit;
}
// end Sanity check
We don'e with forum.php, save and upload.
In index.php (main folder) replace
PHP Code:
$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder');
with
PHP Code:
$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND showonhome=1 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder');
We don'e with index.php, save and upload.
That's it!

Does that make any sense what I'm talking about?
So is anybody going to answer my question ... please?
Originally posted by Psychdrone I am confused this will give you an option to either have the forum displayd on the main page? dose this work on 2.2.1?
01-29-02 at 06:51 PM Gutspiller said this in Post #25 how about making this option available to the end user, and not just for admins? I could really use a hack like THAT.
yes, exactly waht I need. Is there something like that yet?
