Problem with a plugin for hiding forums

[Demo16]

Hi guys,
I have 3.6.8 Patch Level 2.
This plugin hide/show forums for some languages but for some reason it doesn't works in my vb version (only in 3.6.5).
The problem is that when the plugin is enabled, I can see forums but I can't see threads inside them.

This is the xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="hide_language_specific" active="1">
    <title>Hide language specific forums</title>
    <description>Hide forums if they are not of user language</description>

print_table_header("Hide different language forums");
    $ldispp=explode(',',$ldispp['langsnotallowed']);
    $languages = $db->query_read("SELECT languageid,title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "language ORDER BY languageid ASC");
    while ($language = $db->fetch_array($languages))
    {
$ldisabbp=true;
foreach($ldispp as $len){
if($len == $language['languageid'])
$ldisabbp=false;
}
print_yes_no_row("Show this forum for <b>$language[title]</b> language?<dfn>This setting allows $language[title] language users to view this forum.</dfn>", 'language'.$language['languageid'], $ldisabbp);
        
    }
    unset($language);
    $db->free_result($languages);]]></phpcode>

This is a custom plugin Marco, where should I post?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Then this is the best place, even better would be to contact the author.

Are you getting any errors logged in your error_log?

[Demo16]

Where I can find the error log? Can you try this plugin? Is right here:http://www.dpcgamers.com/forum_it/pr...e_specific.xml

I don't have a 3.6.8 forum to try the plugin out on. I am not going to try it on my live site.

The error_logs are usually in your /home/yoursite/logs/ directory.
