text-only mode to block a category too

chrischris
edited January 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
how easy would this be? i would like that when someone clicks the 'text-only' mode link, that the app switches to text-only mode, and a particular category gets blocked. this would then be reversed when turning text-only mode off again.

i have relabeled 'text-only' to 'work-safe', so i would like the link to also block the 'nsfw' category.

thanks in advance! :)

    *bump* it's probably possible with a little js - it's not like i need an admin backend for it, or even to change it after it's done once...

    This may help... just add a check for the text mode in that IF block: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/4301/#Item_8

    erm, i guess it isn't as simple as

    if ($HtmlOn == '1')
    then? :)
  • chrischris
    nm, it was... heh

    this is a snippet from your code, mangled slightly...

    if ( ('index.php' == $Context->SelfUrl) && !in_array(ForceIncomingString('CategoryID', '') , array('4')) && ($HtmlOn == '0'))

    4 is the category that i wish to hide, this can be an array (as it was originally - '1, 3, 6' etc).

    thanks, mister!

    actually, that doesn't work - it'll hide the category's discussions right up until you reload the discussions page...

    Hmm... You did change the IF correctly... There are two places in my code that need the array changed but I expect that was already done correctly. (for some reason storing the array as a variable didin't work... but its beta code anyway) I will have to install the text mode switch and try this out tonight.
  • chrischris
    ah right. yes, i changed both array statements. like i said - it worked fine, until you reload the page (without resending the ?h=0 in the url, obviously). anyway, thanks for the help. i'll keep plugging away at it, maybe i'll strike it lucky now :)
  • WallPhoneWallPhone
    Oy! The ?h=0 appears when changing the text mode, not the actual status of the text mode...

    Try this:if ( ('index.php' == $Context->SelfUrl) && !in_array(ForceIncomingString('CategoryID', '') , array('4')) && !$Context->Session->User->Preference("HtmlOn") )
