Is it possible to hide more than one category?

tork

If I repeat the line in config.php, it only hides the last category specified.

peregrine

what, you don't have the pro version? (just kidding

I can try to modify the program to take a few categories to hide - provided you want it.

Let me know - if you will actually use it or you are just wondering?, before I spend the time.

peregrine

oops!

try version 1.1.1

p.s. Do you have stray cats backstage?

Good to know, I assumed that was already possible. I can imagine this being useful as well. I am already using this plugin (Thanks btw:) to hide one category and planned on maybe(!) adding a second one soon. But i am still hoping to find another solution for my problem, than hiding the whole category

tork

If you could add the functionality, it would be great. I will actually use it.

the problem - Is this the discussion deal you wanted or something else.

without spending a whole lot of time on it, I'll put in the ability to hide 4 categories. Ideally it should list all your categories and give you a checkmark to hide - that will be a later version which may or may not be implemented (maybe in the pro version:).

@tork and @fh111

Wow - this plugin is popular - two people use it .

Give the new version 1.1 a try and let me know if it works for you.

I added settings menu, so you don't have to manually change config.php

tork

Thanks so much, that's awesome.

I went ahead and installed it, and it's working, but also adds a line of text above every discussion in the 'All Discussions' view. The second (and last) category I'm hiding is called PbF Backstage. Above the first discussion in the 'All Discussions' view is the following line of text:

cats are - pbf-backstage cats are - pbf-backstage cats are - pbf-backstage

Above each following discussion is the following line:

cats are - pbf-backstage

Works like a charm! Thanks!

p.s. Nope, all the cats are downstairs.

peregrine

glad you liked it.

yes, exactly. i already had a few users complain about the abundance of discussions in the discussions overview that they are not interested in and they are not sinking because those discussions are sort of 'games' that some users like to play when they are bored.

so let's say half the users don;t want them in the list and the other half does. so i don't think it is ideal to hide the whole category, that would be unfair for the users that participate in these games .. best option would be an ignore button or so for each discussion and a tabLink to show the ignored discussions

i'll still update to the most recent version of your plugin because i'm pretty sure that it'll be useful at some point.
