DAMN, Damn, damn...

I am using 6.3.1.2, and it doesn't appear that the code is setup for that!

Brett,

All of the necessary code was in tact for the "Individual Forum Show" hack (although it's not working), but not for the first one you displayed.

I am running 6.3.1.2, and the following code is not present...

[code][/code]Any suggestions..?

tgreene: for that piece of code do this:
I haven't tested this on 6.3.1.2, but it probably will work.

PrimeTime: when i get back from work tonight, i'm gonna do a clean reinstall and try that again. Maybe i forgot to put something in the docs.

NP Brett. I'll re-hack it now. I just appreciate you're taking the time with this.

I'll let you know how it goes...

I've been messing with it for a while and still coming up short with the "selected forum". While I'm not positive, I think the problem lies somewhere in the cp_forums.cgi file. For some reason when I selected either "yes" or "no" in CP the codes did not recognize the change in value...Even after I cleared the cache.

I hope that information helped. I'll keep trying though.

Still nothing...

I guess the big question is, are you feeling up to the chalenge, and if not, what would it take to get you there..?

I just got the "Show Forums" to work, but the "Hide Individual Forums" will not... No biggie though!

Next question -- is there any way possible to seperate the category sections, so that each are spaced apart about one
..? This would be very handy where I have a few categories collapsed at the bottom of my Forum Summary page.

FWIW: I fully realize the depth of my painintheassedness!

It all depends on how you edited the public_forum_summary.pl. I'm not sure if this will work but for a simple solution find:

Oh man, found the error. And what a stupid one it was. (double) I made it look at $thisforum[18], when it should have been looking at $thisforum[19].

I just tested everything out, three times just to make sure, on a hack free 6.3.1.2. ( http://ivegeta.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi ) Which should be backwards compatible with 6.4.0.1. I THINK.

The file has some needed modification to cp_forums.cgi, that should be done or else you'll lose your changes of previous forums.

Download: Doc Install

Sorry again. Proves that you shouldn't rush these kind of things.

EDIT: tgreene, are you referring to the first mod i posted? I was able to install that, incorporating the change i post above on the first try.(as you can see on my 6.3.1.2 test board)

Hehe...NP Brett. I focused on $thisforum[18] as well but changed it anywhere from 0 - 8. Ahh...

I'm going to whip out my 6.4 now and re-hack this baby. I'll be back shortly and let you know how it went.

Hey Brett!...Thank you for sticking this through. You're an honorary clan member now.

Ohh...Before I forget just one adjustment...And this will probably hit you pretty hard since it's the error you've mentioned on your last post. LOL.

On your hack where it says in ubb_forum_summary.cgi find:

When I changed it to:

[code][/code]it worked perfectly.

Ack! Leaving that one would have drowned the hack. Thanks and hopefully no further problems will arise. (It shouldn't) But i'm glad to hear it works.

Thanks, again!

Possibly both of the hacks should hit the 6.4 Final.

Brett,

I just attempted to re-install the "Ind Forums Hack", but the same thing happened, as well as nullifying the "Show Forums" hack... I'm back to using the show forums only.

Primetime,

Thanks for the suggestion on where to place the
, but it was also a no-go!

Maybe you need to add another
. LOL. Then again I've tweaked out the public_forum_summary.pl file so I may have excluded several steps.

I can't help you with the Category Hack since I'm not running 6.3+ although looking at Brett's code should work.

I'm contemplating stepping up to 6.4, but I have so many hacks installed, that it would be a nightmare to get them all back into place...

Hm...

I don't know, i don't see how it could be interfereing with any hacks, as i know none that go there. I am very sure of copying every last instruction. It is doing the settings in the forum, now i hope?

If it is setting the right ones, then it's a ubb_forum_summary problem, if not, then it's a cp_forums problem.

I am able to supress complete categories, but not individual forums... Actually, this was all I was really wanting to do, but love to add other options for future use!

Goto www.gun-talk.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and see how I have the supressed forums setup at the bottom of the list.

Cool. Hmm...Surpressing indivdual forums should work. So far no problems on my end.

Hey Brett. I just noticed that when I create a new forum or update the title of a forum the forums that were selected as "supressed" went back to default, displaying them on the forum summary. I'll try to extract the code that is for the forums add and see if that resolves the problem. I'll test it out later today and will post the update.
