Removing actual forums, not sections

[Calvin]

Is there anyway we can remove actual forums such as Anime etc. (people can still see them, just you can remove them for yourself like the section minimize) as I have no interest in them and theres no point of them being there.

I'm not sure if theres an addon for it?

I believe management are currently against adding anymore addons :)

i've mentioned this before and they said an addon will be needed but they are against using too many for some bizzare reason

Hiding one forum is a little pointless if you want the rest to show :P It's not possible at the moment and I don't think it'd be a greatly used feature to warrant spending time finding an addon for it to happen.

Security issues or something like that

Consider yourself blessed darling; I can't even hide sections, everytime I refresh they maximize.

Same here, really annoying :@

Or it would be nice to choose what sections appear on your new posts list :)

Oh so it's not just me. I feel better.

You can block people from forums using the permission mask, which Jamesey will know how to use, if your going to put this into place i'd like to have a few forums removed. It's not a addon

1) Blocking the forum through access masks would mean that they're unable to use it, not that its just minimized. Any thread in that forum would be unviewable, even if they were linked to it.

2) Permission masks would require every user that wants it to be done through an administrator in admincp. And due to security issues that have evolved in the past, we try to minimize access mask usage as much as possible.


The only way to avoid this would be to make a specific joinable usergroup that blocks specifically that forum (you'd still have problem number 1), and it would be silly to create those groups for each forum, especially because we're beyond what we technically should be in terms of usergroups.

Nvr's got it really, we all know how to use Access Masks Ross, however it's pointless and unncessary for an administrator to edit a users access masks just so they can't see a particular forum - extra and unnecesssary work.

If you wish to hide certain forums and you use Mozilla Firefox, you can use a 3rd-party addon called Greasemonkey (find that here (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748)).

This is how to do it, after installing the plugin -

On Forum Home:


Go onto the forum index, right click and click "View Source"
http://uploads.bobble.be/2010-08-24_1508.png
Press Ctrl+F and type in the name on the forum you wish to hide
http://uploads.bobble.be/2010-08-24_1509.png
Above the name, find the forum ID, in our case 1382
http://uploads.bobble.be/2010-08-24_1510.png
Note this ID down
http://uploads.bobble.be/2010-08-24_1511.png
Repeat steps 2-4 for any more forums you wish to hide.


Now lets make the Greasemonkey Script:

Create a new Greasemonkey script (also make sure it is Enabled)

Fill in the box as follows

(Name: Hide Forums
Namespace: http://www.habboxforum.com/
Description: Hide some forums on HabboxForum
Includes (One per line): http://www.habboxforum.com/forum.php
Excludes (One per line):
Click OK

It should ask you to locate to your text editor - unfortunately I have already done this so I can't screenshot it for you. If it does, navigate to C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe (replace C:\ with the drive of your Windows installation). If not, and it opens in notepad, move onto the next step
Below all the writing in the notepad, add this code:
http://uploads.bobble.be/2010-08-24_1517.png

javascript:document.getElementById("forum1328").style.display = "none";
Replace 1328 with the ID you noted down before.
Repeat the code on a new line for each forum ID you wish to hide, replacing the ID with the forum on each one.
Press Ctrl+S to save (or File > Save)

Now you are done! If any problems occur feel free to contact me/reply to this post


Hope I could help :)
